I'll be using under-cabinet wall tiling in my kitchen remodeling, and I have a couple questions.
Question 1: Is it required to use a backerboard when putting up wall tile, or can the tile be stuck directly to drywall? If so, how thick should the backerboard be?
Question 2: What is the best way to transition from the point where the wall tile stops and the painted wall of the rest of the room begins? I figure the thickness of the backerboard and tile will be around 1/2", so I'm wondering how best to merge the tile and the painted areas so it looks nice.
