Glass tile backsplash

[black2002ls]

Has anyone here worked with glass tiles? Not the small mosaic ones, larger ones where you have had to notch the center of a tile for an outlet? We are doing glass subway tiles for our kitchen backsplash and I have several tiles that are needing notches in the middle of the tile to work around outlets and switches. What is the best way to go about this?

My original solution was to pull down the tiles I have set, remove the sheetrock between the cabinets, move the plugs down into a row of tile and set them horizontal and put up new denseshield. Not sure at this point which method would be less time consuming!

Russell... do a plug mold under the cabinets. Get rid of them in the backsplash all together.

I would do this over having to cut large glass tiles.

if hes willing to mess with the drywall, there is no reason not to. Outlets in the backsplash are the devil. I will have a single outlet in the backsplash which is for the garbage disposal and light above the sink

You sir.....are a genious! Jenn wanted to move them up under the cabinets anyway. Not a big problem, pull the plugs and move the electric to the cabinet. We also need some under counter lighting to accent the backsplash anyway. Do they make those in shorter lengths? We have two short cabinets by the range.

They are 6"x3" the problem is cutting notches in the middle of the tile!

Not afraid of drywall, or electrical! I will grab some scrap today before heading home. The patches over the plugs are super easy. The only thing that will be left is a few switches for the lights.

Do you have a recommendation for under cabinet light fixtures? I think we really need them to make the backsplash pop! A single flourescent fixture in the ceilling. I have can lights to install just not sure I want to tackle that at this point.

Not sure on a brand for the plugmold. Just do a search. People on the gardenweb forum use plugmolds all the time, you may do some research there. They sell them at lowes. You can shorten them if you need to. They are also called wiremold.

We just did a kitchen remodel and put in under cabinet lighting. They make several different lengths from 12-36". Just go to Lowes and get what you need. I suggest getting LED over florescent and make sure that they are able to be hard wired and linkable.

I would look into LED lights as well.

These have amazing reviews and are very cheap compared to most of the LED undercabinet lighting out there.

I seem to recall Costco having some pretty cool looking lights for under the cabinets. They may have been battery operated though.

We have these on a dimmer and they have worked awesome.

I've installed this under and above the kitchen cabinets in our house... Extremely easy to do and it looks great.
