FAQs

How many tiles are in a pack and how much area do they cover?

Each pack contains 20 tiles, which cover approximately 20 square feet.

Can these tiles be installed over existing vinyl flooring?

Yes, they can be installed over existing flat, smooth, and well-adhered vinyl flooring. Ensure the old flooring is clean and dry.

Do I need grout or glue for installation?

No, these are self-adhesive 'peel & stick' tiles, meaning no additional grout or glue is required for installation.

Are these tiles suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, they have a water-resistant wear layer, making them suitable for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms. However, standing water should be wiped up promptly.

What are the dimensions of each tile?

Each tile measures 30.5cm x 30.5cm (approximately 12 inches x 12 inches).

How should I clean and maintain the tiles?

Clean with a damp mop or cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wipe spills immediately.

Can I install these tiles on a textured surface?

No, these tiles require a smooth, flat, and clean surface for optimal adhesion. Textured surfaces are not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not adhering well

Ensure the floor surface is meticulously clean, dry, and perfectly flat. Re-press tiles firmly. If the surface is porous or uneven, it may need sealing or a primer designed for vinyl flooring.

Edges lifting after installation

Lift the affected tile(s) carefully, clean any debris from the back of the tile and the floor, and reapply with firm pressure. For stubborn lifts, a vinyl flooring adhesive might be used sparingly on the edge.

Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly

Use a sharp, heavy-duty utility knife and a straight edge. Score the tile multiple times rather than trying to cut through in one pass. Alternatively, a flooring cutter can provide cleaner results.

Tiles not aligning perfectly

Carefully lift and reposition the tile immediately after placement before applying full pressure. For minor gaps, a grout pen or sealant matching the grout color might be used sparingly if aesthetic dictates, though this is not recommended for performance.

Bubbles or wrinkles appearing

Carefully lift the affected tile up to the bubble/wrinkle, smooth out the vinyl, and reapply with firm pressure, ensuring no air is trapped underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the floor is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free of dust, grease, and debris. The surface must be completely flat; any bumps or imperfections can affect adhesion.
  2. Acclimatize Tiles: Allow the tiles to acclimate to the room's temperature for at least 24 hours before installation.
  3. Peel and Stick: Carefully peel the backing from one tile and press it firmly into place. Start from the center of the room and work outwards, or begin along a straight wall.
  4. Align and Press: Align tiles edge-to-edge, ensuring a snug fit. Use firm pressure, especially around the edges, to secure the adhesive.
  5. Cut as Needed: For edges or around obstacles, use a sharp utility knife or flooring cutter. Measure and cut tiles precisely for a clean finish.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on clean, smooth, sealed, and hard surfaces such as concrete, linoleum, tile (grout lines filled and smoothed), and existing vinyl flooring.
  • Not recommended for use on carpet, rough, uneven, or unsealed surfaces, or over existing peel-and-stick tiles that are not flat.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a damp mop or cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
  • Wipe up spills immediately, especially water, to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and surface.
  • Protect from excessive heat and direct sunlight, which can cause fading or damage over time.
