What kind of wallcover is good to put around a cooking stove?

Question

My home is only 13 years old, however the wallpaper in the kitchen around that area is so discolored from normal use! ugk

Answer 1

If you can install ceramic tile, that would be best and looks attractive and is easy to clean. Another option is tin/aluminum or copper - like they used to use on old fashioned tin ceilings. Those are very expensive, though.

Answer 2

You have several options, depending on how much you want to spend.

1. You could install a stainless steel backsplash, have the sheets cut to fit.

2. Tile - just be sure to seal the grout joints WELL or you will have another place for stains.

3. You could also install a copper backsplash, this option would be a bit more expensive. The copper would "age" unless you kept it polished. Some people like that old aged look so that might not be a problem.

4. You could remove the wallpaper, repaint and then have a piece of plex-glass cut to fit the area.

Answer 3

Try refacing in terracota or just a coat of regular oil based paint. You can clean and scrub this. Get a real exhaust fan installed that has an exit conduct to the outside.

Answer 4

Anything vinyl, that can be wiped down (kitchen grease tends to collect around the stove.) Its a little more expensive, but worth it in the long run.

Answer 5

Plain simple non-textured wall tiles are the best - they look attractive and most importantly are wipe clean!
