stove splashguard September 03, 2014, 06:54:46 pm Yahoo Message Number: 148434What material do you use to make a splash guard to protect the wall next to the stove? I was thinking of a piece of Lucite, but am concerned about flammability. What materials have you used, and how do you attach it to the wall? Thanks for your thoughts! Wendy

Attach with double stick tape. I found later that Home depot has glass's for sale and they will cut it. If not HD it was Lowe's. And the price is real cheap. It is only single strength as I recall. The have clips that are used to hang mirrors that you can use for this.One of them quit cutting glass I think they no longer carry glassGeorgeretired plumber
Re: stove splashguard Reply #2 – September 03, 2014, 10:28:53 pm Yahoo Message Number: 148439About seven years ago I covered the walls surrounding the stove and sink in my 2003 midbath with cheap self-stick vinyl tile. The tile's adhesive wasn't strong enough to hold it to a vertical surface, so I used Goop adhesive. The entire job took about two hours and cost less than twenty dollars.In the years since then I've done a lot of cooking and baking, but the tiles show no sign of distortion from heat. I did have to re-glue a couple of pieces last year, but they weren't ones that were near the stove.I love the look of the tile, and the ability to wipe it clean is a huge improvement over the dirt-holding texture of the original wall covering.Andy BairdTravels with Andy

I believe Kate Klein was the first one I saw using it. http://www.lowes.com/pd_241558-37672-11256_4294684417__?productId=3054573&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=Larry

It's a plastic used commonly in areas exposed to high moisture, about 1/8" thick I think. They have a corner molding for it to hide the raw edge. One side is bubbly and the other side is smooth.Mark
