New backsplash going up—want hidden access to under-sink plumbing shut-offs. Any panels that can be tiled over without issues?
Backsplash access panels need flat surfaces for tiling. I pick models with removable doors and no lips—thinset bonds well after roughing the face. Push latches stay hidden under grout. After tiling and sealing the wall looks solid until needed. I installed a durable drywall access panels (14×18) behind the sink area and it’s invisible now. Plan tile cuts around the frame during layout.
