Wall behind stove

I recently began re-doing an apt that I rent out, floors, walls, cabinets, etc. Except I ran into a huge problem with the wall behind the stove, cheap, ugly tile had be glued to it and now I can't get the stuff off (I tried removers, sanders). Does anyone have any good ideas on how to just cover it up, but make it unique (I'm talking about 64in wide and 32in long).

use adhesive to add thermoplastic sheets over the top of it. check out your local home improvement store or a website . there are numerous designs to pick from and they will stand up to heat.

You might try to use contact paper to cover it. That's what my husband and I did to the wall behind our stove. We found a contact paper that looked like granite and put that up behind the stove. It makes cleaning a snap because any grease splatters just wipe right off.

A few ideas - Paint the tiles. There are lots of helpful tutorials on the internet. Landlords will often ok it if you use a neutral color, since it improves the place and saves them from doing the work themselves. Cover it with a frame and attach shutters to the frame and hang on the wall. Or just use recycled wood slats or bead board instead of shutters. Could add shelves to to the bead board or even a picture, wall sculpture, or just stencil a nice design onto it. Easy to remove later and you get to keep it for your next home. Hang a mirror. Good feng shui. Hang some inexpensive window blinds over the space. Will look like a window.

My stove is actually right next to a wall so my problem was the wall was getting greasy and the wall was getting burnt! What we did was use Aluminum tiles/sheet the really nice imprinted design ones for the ceiling and some adhesive and put them to that side of the wall to protect it. It came out really nice! If you need to protect the wall, make sure you use something non flammable.

We haven't had any kind of problem like that with it. We cook daily, and all it's doing is protecting the walls from the grease splatters and such that seemed to be staining the walls before putting it up. Now that the contatact paper is there, any grease or other foods that splatter up there, easily wipe off.
