Man, those look great, but $80 for 18 sf? Yikes. (That's math, right?)

That's $79 for 6 square feet, or $13.16/square foot.

Compared to what you would pay for Ann Sacks... The price isn't bad.

Cool! Here's another manufacturer's version:

I think these are great!

I'm going to give it a try. The backsplash behind my stove is granite to match my counters and I've been wanting to change it to small stainless squares, after seeing it in one of the models before I purchased my home. I hope they're easy to cut, because I'd like smaller squares and an interchange of smooth and rough finishes.

some are on ebay too.

If they don't require grout, do they lay flush to each other? I looked on the site and they don't have any photos of them installed. does anyone else?

Please keep us posted on how these work for your project, kyoto. I'm thinking about using them on my backsplash, too. Though I still have drywall there, I wonder if I'd be better off with a traditional grout metal tile...

I had sheet metal (stainless steel) cut for my backsplashes, and after paying for the metal and the custom size and the holes for screws, it adds up to more expensive than this. Just saying.

So if they don't use grout how do you stop dirt getting in between the tiles? and how do you stop water seeping behind them? The whole point of grouting tiles is to make a waterproof, easy-clean surface - something with grooves between each tile is not going to be watertight nor easy clean...

We had bought some brushed metal contact paper, which actually looks quite good for the right project. But after seeing these, we'll likely use the tiles instead. More expensive, but given that we're "lining" the interior of a small, open wine cabinet, it'll look much more finished.

By the way, anyone know what the edges look like when cut?
