It’s easy to maintain; simply wipe with a damp rag. Designers turn to peel-and-stick backsplash when they need an easy answer to spruce up a room in a home.
Because of the strong adhesive on the back and by using water-resistant materials, peel-and-stick backsplash is a durable alternative to the typical ceramic tile backsplash.

When it comes to choosing peel and stick backsplashes, you have a several choices in the market. These come in a variety of materials, such as vinyl, PVC, Stone Composite or Natural Stone.
What are the differences between these peel and stick backsplashes? Below is a short guide to help you choose which one suits your needs.
Vinyl Peel and Stick Backsplash
These types of peel and stick backsplashes are easy to find, affordable, and simple to install. Vinyl peel and stick backsplashes are made with a thin vinyl that you can easily cut as needed.
With these, you don’t need special cutting tools since they are thin enough to cut with a good pair of scissors or a utility knife. They also come is a wide variety of colors, patterns, and designs so you can definitely find one that fits the space’s decor.
Vinyl peel and stick backsplashes, especially the low quality ones, can make a space look “cheap”. Thin vinyl peel and stick backsplashes don’t have that depth that you’d see with PVC, Stone Compostite or Natural Stone Basckplash.
Another potential con is the adhesive on the backing. Many think that it’s not durable enough, especially if you’re placing these stick-on panels to areas where moisture is present. With this, just remember to follow the installation instructions properly, and make sure that your walls are clean before you attach the vinyl peel and stick backsplashes on, so they pretty much stay put.

PVC Peel and Stick backsplash is made of actual PVC and the tiles match seamlessly. The surface has a texture to resemble real tile and the panels are heat and water-resistant for use in the kitchen or the bathroom.
They are also anti-mold and anti-bacterial. Although seamless, use in a shower or bath may still be too much direct moisture.

Because it is made of PVC, this type of backsplashes can deform throughout its util life with heat, so its not highly recommended to use in hot areas, for example behind the stove.
