Adding real tile to our apartment but in a renter friendly way!

  • These tiles aren’t your ordinary peel and stick tile… they’re real marble tiles but don’t require grout or mortar making installation super quick and simple. I had two spots in mind for these 1) to add some dimension inside of one of the decorative faux fireplace surrounds and 2) to add a backsplash to our makeshift kitchen area. The peel and stick tile in Daltile’s Xpress Mosaix line x Home Depot is such a good option if you’re wanting to make a quick update to the tile in your home or have an area that could use tile. Tip for renters: I attached it to a poster board for an easy removal later on! #HomeDepotPartner #THDXpressMosaix

      Agreed. This is the first time, I saw a video that said renter friendly that I think is renter friendly. Everyone else who says they are, all I think about, “is that really going to come off easily when it is time to move?”.

    I did the same thing a few years back to my old apartment, with the poster board trick and decorating that and then I easily remove it when I move. It’s about time someone made this method with actual tile 😊

    Safety tip: never cover an outlet, especially with flammable materials. Builders use cheap receptacles that can get hot and catch fire behind the wall. It takes a while, so you need to be able to see if the wall starts to discolor or get hot directly above or below the outlet. I learned this the hard way when i put a bookcase in front of an outlet.

      Outlets should NEVER get hot. Old aluminum wiring used to do this in electrical outlets because it would expand and contract with current, and lose contact inside the fixture. So, if your outlets get hot, contact an electrician to check or replace your wiring. (Aluminum wiring was common from 1950's through 1970's)

      @@CraftHarlot My building was built in the very early 70's, so that makes sense. The property owners will never replace anything that isn't presently burning down, so I'm going to have to take that into consideration when it's time to renew my lease.

      @@CraftHarlotI live in one of the poorest communities in Germany. Many beautiful old houses, but they rarely are cared for. When I moved here , 7 years ago, there where a lot of fires happening around . The fire department said that it was of the old electric wiring in the houses. Most of that wiring was done in the late 40‘s to early 50‘s. And the owners of the houses just don’t care to renew them. And renters are sometimes using to many extension cables, to many electrical devices.

      Should you be putting poster board behind your stove? Sounds like a fire hazard that no one else in your apartment complex would appreciate you executing.
      Maybe you should instead mount the tile on a tall piece of backer board that can sit on the floor but rise to the height you need behind your stove...
