Is this style a glue on or mud in place of a 4x4 tile,and is it a shallow or deep back?

You have to mud it in place of a tile. Not sure what you mean shallow or deep?

This style can either be glued (construction grade) or mortared in place of a 4"x4" tiled area. The lip on the back of the item is 1/4" thick.

It is not thick like normal underlayment it is very compacted down and easy to cut with normal scissors. If you are looking for a cushion type of feel this is not it. I used it on a basement floor so I was more concerned with a moisture barrier which this has.

This is a gloss tile. These tiles are super easy to work with and after doing a great deal of homework were a great deal. A year later they still look fantastic!

First, as far as the color goes .... it can vary. I have used it several times now and usually it's a gray to slightly gray/taupe but sometimes it dries more taupe/brown. I think it has something to do with how much it's worked (troweled) but I could be wrong. There may be another factor that affects the dry color. Generally though I'd say plan on a gray to slightly taupe-y gray dry color. As for ceramic, I did my backsplash with it. It was harder to do than a flat surface and had to be done in much thinner coats, especially the first couple. It doesn't want to stick, but eventually it will. The first coat shouldn't try to cover the tile. It's take at least one or two coats just to fill in the grout lines; at least from my experience. Once those coats are good and dry though, the first tile coat will stick at least to itself and while the tile coverage will be quite spotty at first, eventually you'll build enough so it works out. I had glossy ceramic, if you have a matte finish or a textured tile it might cover a little easier. Are you planning to do just ceramic or a counter/backsplash? I ask because I wouldn't consider it particularly durable for some uses. I am only partially satisfied with mine. From a looks stand point, it's not bad at all. I no longer have ugly chipped laminate counters and ceramic that doesn't match anything. In retrospect, however, especially from a practical standpoint. I wish I'd have just bit the bullet and ripped out the ceramic and lived with the counters until I could replace them. I didn't though, so these will work until I can afford to redo it all. It's not horrible by any means, and a lot of people really seem to like their counters. My overall opinion though is slightly less than thrilled. I don't hate them, but I certainly don't love them either. If there is a way to upload pix here I will show you my counter/backsplash combo that I did. If not, you're welcome to message me (I think there's an option for that) and I'll send the pic directly.

No the back is black. I like my unit but if you buy it you should use wood glue and furniture clamps. Not very sturdy. I have to move it soon to lay tile and we will have to be very careful moving it.

The backing is fiber board... not quite a quarter inch thick... maybe 3/16"

The tile is VERY thin. I have had it in my shower for almost a year and it has held up BEAUTIFULLY. I love it.

You can give your tiles a more sturdier feel by 'painting' them with watered down white glue. I've done this a few times and my friends prefer them this way.

This is made to meet a 4x with a flat wood or cement surface. The bottom has a stopper. I would replace with a PT 4x and anchor with cement.

We originally thought we wanted a thicker tile too. Glad we didn't. Would have been much harder to install given all the cuts we had to make. There is a very slight cushion. Dropping a fork from counter height would not puncher the tile surface. But since ours is in a home office, we did put carpeted stickons on the base of our file cabinets so we could move them later without worry. Also, surface has a slight texture with a shine. We put it over concrete. Sticks very well.

It's flat, varnished wood. The entire back is available for glue, except for two small screw holes.

The bottom doesn't look like it is nonskid. Just plastic. However, I have had it quite a while and have never had a problem. I have ceramic tile floors, and I think it would have gone into a skid before now. Hope that helps

It's grout. It will fill the area between tiles no matter what they are made of.

You have to grout this! This is not a peel and stick. You need a contractor to put this up or someone who has applied a product like this before. This is a real tile job however when completed it is STUNNING!!!

MY bf installed it. Says it's basically flat but had holes in the back to bond to the thinset and make it adhere to the wall. We used it on a wall that was already tiled and replaced the old rusted soap dish with no problem.

We used our beautiful tile in a back splash application. It is not thick like conventional stone or porcelain, and I can't attest how it would be, being walked on or used in a shower. It will not hold up to harsh chemicals and cleaning like one would use to rid your shower of build ups. With that said it is quite beautiful and we have been exceptionally pleased with the look and durability in our kitchen thus far. I would not hesitate to purchase again and the vendor was very quick to ship and all the tiles came in perfect condition. We've had a great experience. Hope this helps

Dear Ramsay These tile are peal and stick and it's very simple to install just peal the paper in the back and stick it to the floor How ever we always recommend to use extra glue if you want the tile to last longer
