I am looking for a source for aluminum diamond pattern to use as a backsplash. The sources I see on here have lots of trim pieces and some have aluminum for a backsplash but they are all large patterns which would not look good in a little trailer. Any ideas?

I intend using a small quilted diamond pattern for the backsplash on our next restore . I also noticed that all that seems available, looks too large. My plan is to buy the sheet and Bo will use a break machine at his job. Check around your area for a small fabrication shop (Metal plant). You`ll find that the aluminum will also be less expensive to purchase from them also. I`ve needed several small pieces for different projects and where my husband works, sells cut off pieces for scrap prices  . Good luck! |

The Home Depot by my house has a whole bunch of different patterns (from the pillow look to the diamond) in different sizes. It can get pretty expensive though.

My latest video shows quilted stainless steel that we put in as back splashes on all size trailers. We get it at a local metal shop. Anywhere that has metal fabrication going on has an outlet for all types of sheet metal. I wouldn't use aluminum because of the way it pitts around moisture. When we bought some last week it was up to $109 for a 4x4 foot sheet. Then you need to be able to cut it. Attachments:
