FAQs

Can I apply these tiles over existing wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to apply directly over wallpaper, as the adhesive may not bond well and could damage the wallpaper upon removal. The surface must be smooth, stable, and clean.

How long will the tiles last?

With proper installation and care, the tiles can last for several years. Longevity depends on the application area, exposure to moisture, and maintenance.

Can I remove the tiles later?

The tiles can typically be removed, but it may require heat (e.g., from a hairdryer) to soften the adhesive. Some residue may remain, requiring cleaning. Removal might damage the underlying surface, especially if it's painted plasterboard.

What is the coverage of a pack?

Each pack covers 0.56 square meters, with each tile measuring 300mm x 300mm.

Are these tiles suitable for floors?

These tiles are designed for vertical wall applications and are not suitable for floor use.

Do I need to grout after applying?

No, these are self-adhesive tiles and do not require grouting. The clear film and optional silicone sealant create the finished edge.

Can I paint over these tiles?

These tiles are not designed to be painted over, as the vinyl surface may not accept paint well, and it could affect their durability and waterproof properties.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking well

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Re-apply firm pressure. For stubborn areas, consider a very light application of tile adhesive spray suitable for vinyl, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Air bubbles forming under tiles

Carefully peel back the tile and reapply, smoothing from the center outwards with a firm, flat object (like a credit card or squeegee) to push air out. Prick stubborn bubbles with a fine needle and press flat.

Difficulty cutting tiles precisely

Use a sharp craft knife and a metal ruler for straight lines. For curves, a sharp pair of scissors may offer more control. Score the vinyl first for cleaner cuts.

Water seeping behind tiles in wet areas

Ensure a continuous, unbroken bead of silicone sealant is applied along all edges and seams, particularly where the tile meets walls, countertops, or fixtures. Check and reapply sealant as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust, grease, or old adhesives.
  2. Remove the white backing paper completely, but leave the clear protective film around the edges of each tile.
  3. Carefully position the tile and press firmly from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
  4. For wet areas (e.g., shower cubicles, around sinks), apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant along all edges and seams to create a waterproof seal.
  5. Cut tiles to size using sharp scissors or a craft knife as needed.

Compatibility:

  • Best suited for plastered walls or existing flat, smooth tiles.
  • Not recommended for heavily textured, uneven, or porous surfaces.
  • Can be applied inside shower cubicles if edges are properly sealed with silicone.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth and mild soapy water.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the surface.
  • Ensure edges remain sealed, especially in wet areas, and reapply sealant if necessary.
