Stainless steel tiles

Stainless steel tiles are a great option for backsplashes, and are easy to install and easier to maintain - unlike other options which require more careful maintenance. Stainless steel tiles install like regular ceramic tiles, and the installation instructions are usually included
with your order.
 
 
Tools you will need to install stainless steel tiles

You may need regular tile adhesives, a diamond tip circular wet saw, a HSS hack saw and grout to cover crevices and the gap between tiles.

Where else can you use stainless steel tiles

You could use stainless steel tiles in a wide variety of places in your home - bathroom walls, as accents to the wood paneling in kitchens, and any other area your creative side of the brain can suggest !
 
Disadvantages of stainless steel tiles

There is a disadvantage to choosing stainless steel over copper and brass for your tiles. A recent study found that the E. coli O157:H7 strain of bacteria - a highly toxic strain of bacteria - survive for much longer periods of time on stainless steel than on either copper and brass.

The details of this study may be found at

Now, the implications of this may be that if you plan to use stainless steel extensively in your kitchen, you might do better by using copper or brass instead, with copper seemingly to be the best option.
