Tile on wall under Microwave

I like the look of the tile on the new models. I would to like to add some to my unit. Does anyone know how to purchase the tile FR is putting on new models?
Brian-Josh?

Have you ever considered checking out the selections available at Lowe's or Home Depot?

You don't want to know the price FR will tell you for the tiles.

Just sayin'

Every time I'm in Home Depot, I stop and look at the glass tile. But those require grout and I don't think it would stay in the cracks, driving the roads around here. The FR tile doesn't have grout

I'm sure if you go to a tile place you will find the stick up type. Be aware I had issues with mine from FR as it kept coming loose. Took it back for warranty ya guess what two weeks later popes off again so I just got me some tile glue and fix myself. Been up 5 months now. Later RJD

They have a polymer grout that will move with the wall. I put a full back splash on my old 5er and never had a problem.

I just bought plastic stick on tile from home depot for mine. Seen it on another post, it looks great. (It is a little pricey though @ $10.00 a sheet)

Good choice and make sure it is non-sanded.

Just looked at some at Home Depot today $40 for a box of six. Looks pretty good versus the 'wallpaper' -- and lighter weight than grout-type.

I do a lot of upgrades for folks and have had great luck and good words
using tile type 4 x 8 panels in kitchens and baths. Just cut to fit, glue on
and use silicone to grout where needed

I thought my 2015 Salem CruiseLite had real tile - until I looked closely and it's just like contact paper that looks like tile. It does look nice though.

At Lowe's this afternoon, and looked at two types of tile, the plastic and the thin glass type. Now, just have to get samples
and see what looks best.

From Lowes, they have different colors. Easy to work with.

I used granite tile on my kitchen and bathroom counters and also on my kitchen backsplash. Have not had any problems with grout.
