How can you install subway tile with no grout??

Question

We want a backsplash in the kitchen but I hate grout in a kitchen. What are some options?

Redcatcec · Answer

On many projects grout is optional, just attach the tiles close together, not using spacers.

Chloe Crabtree · Answer

Do not install tiles without grout in an area prone to moisture or wetness, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Grout joints help keep the substrate dry by sealing it in. Without them, you could be allowing water to seep between the tiles.

Kathy Gunter Law · Answer

Self Spacing Tile is very tight and the grout is more for looks. The shower in the photo is that type on the white tile.

Metal

Reclaimed wood

Wallpaper

Peel & stick for the tile look

Here's a group of images for ideas:

Sue, I've seen subway tile installed without grout as a back splash on many shows. (Fixer Upper, for one) Don't see why it couldn't be done. Just to be sure follow up with personnel where you purchase the tiles. Good luck.
