Copper Backsplash Installation Guide
Installation Guide
Install with confidence.
Natuross copper backsplashes arrive finished, sealed, and custom made to the confirmed size. Most kitchen projects use Adhesive Mount and install directly over clean, dry, stable tile, drywall, wood, stone, brick, or metal.
1. Adhesive Mount
Most popular for kitchens. Best for stove backsplashes, full kitchen walls, sink areas, and under-cabinet panels on clean, stable surfaces.
2. Screw Mount
Maximum strength. Useful for large panels, masonry, fireplaces, outdoor areas, doors, and commercial projects.
3. Hanging Wire
Decorative and removable. Best for signs, plaques, and wall art. For permanent kitchen backsplashes, adhesive or screw mount is usually better.
Real adhesive-mount installation
This real installation video shows why many homeowners and professionals choose Adhesive Mount. The panel is custom sized before shipping, test-fitted in place, and installed as one finished piece rather than many small tiles.
For professionals, the predictable process matters: confirmed measurements, prepared cutouts, finished photos before shipping, and a panel made to fit the project.
Made to fit before it ships
Every Natuross backsplash is custom made to the confirmed dimensions. We review the size, installation method, finish, cutouts, and layout before production, then send photos of the finished piece before shipping.
For tight spaces, we usually recommend making the panel about 1/8 inch smaller per side. This small allowance helps the panel fit more easily and is normally not noticeable after installation.
Adhesive Mount, most popular
Adhesive Mount works well over clean, dry, flat, stable tile, drywall, cement board, wood, stone, brick, concrete, or metal.
Screw Mount and Hanging Wire
Screw Mount is recommended when extra mechanical support is preferred, including very large panels, masonry walls, outdoor installations, fireplace areas, doors, commercial spaces, or surfaces where adhesive alone is not ideal.
Hanging Wire is best for decorative panels, signs, family name plaques, and wall art that may need to be moved later. It is not the main method we recommend for a permanent kitchen backsplash behind a stove.

Installation FAQ
Can I install it over existing tile?
Yes. Most customers install directly over existing tile as long as the tile is clean, dry, flat, and firmly attached.
Can it be installed over drywall?
Yes. Adhesive Mount works over drywall when the wall is clean, dry, flat, and properly prepared.
Do I need to seal the copper before installation?
No. Your backsplash arrives sealed with a clear protective finish. No sealing is needed before installation.
Can you make cutouts for outlets or pot fillers?
Yes. We can prepare openings for outlets, switches, pot fillers, and other fixtures before production based on the measurements you provide.
Can professionals install Natuross panels on client projects?
Yes. Many designers, builders, contractors, cabinet companies, and remodelers use Natuross panels for client kitchens. We confirm details before production and provide finished photos before shipping.
After installation
Clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap. Do not use abrasive pads, steel wool, harsh chemicals, strong degreasers, acidic cleaners, metal polish, or metal scrubbers.
