Do you want to incorporate the look of industrial cement walls into your home? Well, you can easily DIY it with peel and stick concrete tile!
However, don’t underestimate these stick-on tiles. These vinyl self-adhesive faux concrete blocks are heavy duty and guaranteed to stick on your walls and not come off. They won’t turn yellow or crack, either.
Note: In fact, they are designed for use specifically in the kitchen and bath. They can hold up to both moisture and heat, so you can use them behind a stovetop or sink!
That said, hard wearing, concrete-look peel and stick tile doesn’t come cheap. Actually, it costs more than most standard tile.
How Faux Concrete Tiles Save You Time, Work & Money:
Despite that, you can save a bunch of time and money with a faux concrete backsplash. Not to mention, this DIY project requires a lot less work.
1. Save Time & Money on Additional Tiling Materials and Steps:
First of all, you don’t have to buy, mix and mess with mortar or grout. Plus, you don’t have to seal the grout when you’re done.
This factor alone saves a bunch of time, effort and money. Furthermore, the non-porous vinyl surface makes cleaning easy for the life of your backsplash. =)
2. No Need to Buy Expensive Equipment or Hire a Contractor:
Second, you don’t have to buy a tile cutter and go through the hassle of cutting and snapping tiles. And don’t even remind me of those wasted ceramic tiles that break or snap in the wrong place.
In fact, peel-and-stick concrete requires no special tools or equipment. Vinyl cuts with a basic pair of scissors!
3. This Mess-Free DIY Backsplash Project Finishes Fast:
Third, you don’t have to deal with a big mess in your kitchen or bathroom. Or a time-consuming project that can take many hours for that matter.
With self-adhesive backing, you don’t even have to buy glue for these cement blocks. Their thin, lightweight design makes them easy to install in minutes.
How to Install a Faux Concrete Block Wall:
You can install these vinyl squares on virtually any flat surface. They even work over existing tile backsplashes.
First, clean the wall surface. Decide whether you want a staggered brick look or modern stacked, straight-line design. Either style looks great.
Then, peel and stick the concrete blocks to the wall, piece by piece. By the way, you can adjust the pieces as you work, if needed.

Or Use Faux Concrete Bricks:
Alternatively, you can create a staggered cement brick look with the same type of peel and stick concrete.
These bricks are smaller than the blocks shown above. However, each piece has approximately the same measurements – but includes 4 bricks.
As you can see, each brick has unique coloring and a distressed appearance.
Therefore, you can easily create an authentic-looking concrete brick wall without all the dust, mess, tools, etc…
