FAQs
Can these tiles be used in a bathroom?
Yes, they can be used in bathrooms, but they are not suitable for shower cubicles. For areas with moisture, sealing the edges is recommended.
How long do I need to wait after painting before applying the tiles?
Newly painted surfaces must be allowed to fully cure for at least 4 weeks before application.
Do I need grout for these tiles?
No, these tiles do not require grout. They are designed to interlink without the need for grout.
Can I apply these tiles over existing wallpaper?
It is best to apply these tiles over smooth, painted walls or existing flat tiles. Application over wallpaper may not provide a smooth enough surface for optimal adhesion and finish.
Are the tiles easy to remove?
Yes, the tiles are removable. It is recommended to lift them from a corner and gently pull. Heating the adhesive with a hairdryer can make removal easier.
What are the dimensions of each tile?
Each tile measures approximately 30.5 cm (height) x 30.5 cm (width) x 0.3 cm (depth).
How should I clean the tiles?
The tiles have a durable, scratch-resistant surface that can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products.
Can I put these tiles near a stove?
These tiles should be kept away from direct heat sources, such as gas hobs, as this can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Tile not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. For new paint, verify it has cured for 4 weeks. Lightly spraying the adhesive side with water can help with repositioning and ensuring a firm bond upon reapplication.
Bubbles under the tile
If bubbles appear during application, lift the tile gently and reapply, smoothing out air pockets. A small pinprick can release trapped air if bubbles form after application.
Difficulty cutting tiles
Use a sharp craft knife or utility knife and a straight edge for clean cuts. Score the tile multiple times rather than trying to cut through in one pass.
Adhesive residue upon removal
Gently heat the adhesive with a hairdryer on a low setting and carefully peel the tile from a corner. Any minor residue can usually be removed with a mild adhesive remover or warm, soapy water.
