Customer Reviews for Merola Tile Meta Brick 11-3/4 in. x 12 in. x 5 mm Stainless Steel Metal Over Ceramic Mosaic Tile

These contemporary tiles will transform your kitchen into a designer kitchen, they are absolutely stunning! My husband and I are DIY's; however, had never installed tiles. We did a little research, and off we went. They were easy to install, just make sure you are prepared: clear and cover your counters, protect any borders w/ cabinets, granite, etc. with painters tape, etc. Have tile cutter ready (if you rent one, they charge by the hour, so be ready), have a pencil to mark where you will be cutting tiles (be very careful w/ machine cutter, can be dangerous), a basic blade cutter to remove individual tiles for corners/details, spacers, trowels (metal for glue & smooth rubber one for grout), glue, grout, and a metal file to smooth out the rough edges after cutting and before you glue them onto your wall. We used the cardboard the tiles came in to cut/separate individual tiles with the blade cutter when needed, to protect our counters. Clean walls, sand a little, clean off dust. Place tiles on counter to measure how many you'll need at hand, and make sure to buy an extra tile to cut pieces off to work any odd spaces or edges w/ counters, etc. Evenly spread the glue (smooth out, make sure no clumps), place the spacers, place the tiles and press. Patiently work around cabinet edges, that's where the cutting comes in. If you have tiles that will end in exposed walls, considering turning a few tiles the other way (horizontal or vertical) to create a more stylized termination. Wipe off. Let the glue dry for approx. 20 hours; then grout (we used a medium gray color), wipe off, and enjoy! We are loving our kitchen back splash w/ these tiles, they look amazing!!! :-)

This was a high quality stainless steel tile on mesh that we used to finish off the top of our tile backsplash after a mini makeover in our half bath.

ADDS LOTS "Bling" to ordinary subway tile at low cost. (Not grouted in pix)

I brought this Merola Tile Meta Brick because the big stove burner is next to my kitchen wall and every time we cook it burned the wall. However, now every time we cook there a black spot on the tiles. I wipe it off with clorox and water it much better. Problem solve with this beautiful tile.

My first kitchen!! Love the backplash

This tile is very pretty, we decided to go a different direction, less contemporary so we didn't use it. However, it is a lovely tile.

I like the service that I have received at the Home Depot on Fairmont Ave in San Diego, CA.

My husband and I are both architects and had chosen a very similar stainless steel mosaic tile that was 3 times the cost. Then we found the 11 3/4 x 12 Meta Brick mosaic tile and decided to order it instead. The tile is beautiful. It is good quality stainless steel and made well. The stainless steel tile is not as easy to install as regular tiles because it is time consuming to cut the metal properly, but looks amazing installed!

As a professional interior designer I have access to many tile companies and for the price you cannot beat this product, it looks amazing and it looks way more expensive than it really is---you could install a more expensive tile and you would not be able to tell the difference.

We used this product for a backsplash behind our stove. It was easy to install and the finished product looks fabulous and is easy to clean. The only down side would be cutting the tiles left sharp edges on the metal that had to be sanded down, but that was only a minor inconvenience.

Cut this into strips for kitchen backsplash. Used rows inbetween rows of natural stone with pewter accents. Looks fantastic! Very easy to cut with a tile cutter. Just use sand paper if edge is to sharp. Would have given installation a 5 but the mortar comes thru the very small grout lines and it's a little time consuming to get it all out. Very easy to clean.

I combined this with the Artic White 1" x 2" glass "subway" tiles (just a couple of single tile high, pencil thin lines around the room, and it - combined with my new stainless steel appliances - added such an amazing contempory feel to my kitchen. I love this tile.
