I'm new to remodeling kitchens and I wanted to upgrade it a little bit before we rent out. I want to put in a backsplash and just wanted to make sure there's no issues with installing it on the material in the picture. I think it's part of the bottom cabinetry. I just want to make sure it wouldn't mess anything up if we decide to replace the cabinets in the future. Thanks.
It looks like Melamine to me, Mike is right that will have to come off when you change out your cabinets as it is sitting on the counter top. Adding tile to that will make the back splash really stand out away from the wall heavy.
All back splashes are installed after the cabinets are installed. Why they chose this material is anyone's guess. If it is Melamine you will either have to remove it or install a backer board, I don't think tile will stick to that.
i used mastic once. it worked excellent. i will use it again, for a back splash.
