When texturing a wall you can either add physical texture or create a faux finish with paint tools and supplies that mimics the look of a textured wall. Both wall styles are attractive and can hide small defects but physical texture on the wall is denser adds a layer of protection and can dampen sound. The adhesive retains its bonding strength for extended periods of time meaning that users have the flexibility to tile onto the mat an hour at a time or over several days and because simplemat bonds instantly you can start. Before installing be sure to wipe walls counters and backs of tile or stone with a damp sponge and allow to dry.
Set countertop tiles prior to setting backsplash tiles. For shower walls see preparation instructions. The back of the mat has a flat adhesive which bonds to the backsplash wall countertop or shower wall.
