An unconventional Back splash test for a Customer Requesting LG-40 TILE SET

Can I hang utensils from my Kitchen back splash?



How strong is LG-40 TILE SET

With any new technology, product, or material that comes on the market it takes time for people to truly understand what  it is, how it works, and how it has been tested. This customer was no different as she was concerned about hanging kitchen utensils from her back splash.


We thought about her concerns here at The Link Group and within a couple hours started testing in an unconventional way. 


Although most of our tests on LG-40 TILE SET are done in accordance with ANSI and ASTM methods sometimes you have to think how those tests are representative and how the material will perform in the field under various circumstances.


Having a deeper understanding from the customer,  provided us with a curious challenge that was a little unconventional, but fun.  This is a very rough, unfiltered, video, that was done in real time which the customer truly appreciated and addressed her concerns with our material.  
She also commented that she is glad her cooking utensils don't weigh that much!


Peel and Stick Adhesives for Tile applications is a relatively new  concept (with in the past 3 years) although The Link Group has been actively involved since the inception and testing since 2007.  If you are considering this application please call us as we strive to be the leader and industry expert in this segment.


We will be taking a deeper look into testing methods and comparison of LG-40 TILE SET Self Adhesive to Mortar and Mastic in subsequent blogs.
