Product Information

Full details

These D-C-Fix Micro Cement Dark Grey Self-Adhesive Vinyl Wall Tiles offer a quick and stylish solution for updating kitchen or bathroom splashbacks without the expense and mess of traditional tiling. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts, tenants, homeowners, or landlords, these tiles provide a realistic micro cement look that can be applied directly over existing flat tiles or plastered walls, eliminating the need for grout. While waterproof for general use, a key caveat is their unsuitability for direct water immersion within shower cubicles.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I apply these tiles over textured wallpaper?

These tiles are best applied to smooth, flat surfaces. Textured wallpaper may prevent proper adhesion and show through the vinyl.

Are these tiles safe to use behind a gas hob?

While the material is vinyl, always check manufacturer guidelines for heat resistance if placing directly behind a heat source like a hob. Ensure adequate ventilation and clearance as per hob instructions.

How long do these tiles typically last?

With proper installation and care, these self-adhesive vinyl tiles can provide a durable finish for several years in appropriate environments.

Can I remove and reapply the tiles if I make a mistake?

You can reposition tiles shortly after application if you lift them carefully. However, repeated removal and reapplication may weaken the adhesive.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

A sharp craft knife or utility knife, a ruler or straight edge, and a soft cloth for smoothing are typically all that's needed.

What is the size of one tile or sheet?

This product is sold in packs covering 0.14 square meters. The exact dimensions of individual tiles within the pack are not specified but are designed to cover this area.

Can I apply these tiles in a very humid environment like a steamy bathroom?

The tiles are waterproof and suitable for typical bathroom humidity and splashes. However, they are not designed for direct, prolonged exposure to steam or water, and should not be used inside shower cubicles.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust or grease. Press firmly during application and ensure edges are sealed.

Bubbles appear under the tile

Carefully lift the tile before it adheres fully and reapply, smoothing out any trapped air. If already adhered, use a pin to prick the bubble and smooth down.

Visible grout lines from underneath

Ensure the existing tiles are completely flat. For slightly uneven surfaces, a very thin layer of filler might be needed before application, or consider a thicker tile design if available.

Difficulty cutting tiles precisely

Use a sharp craft knife or utility knife and a straight edge for clean cuts. Score the vinyl multiple times rather than trying to cut through in one go.
