FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
We strongly recommend using a professional cork adhesive for best results and long-term adhesion.
How many tiles are in a pack?
Each pack contains 11 decorative cork wall tiles.
What is the total area covered by one pack?
One pack covers approximately 1.98 square meters (21.31 square feet).
Can these tiles be painted?
While cork can be painted, it may alter its natural texture and sound-dampening properties. If painting, use a water-based paint and test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Are these tiles suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
These tiles are not recommended for areas with constant high humidity or direct water exposure. They can be used in kitchens or bathrooms if protected from direct splashes and moisture.
How do I clean the cork tiles?
Gently wipe the tiles with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
What is the density and water absorption of these tiles?
The volume density is 310 kg/m³, and water absorption is between 2 - 4%.
Troubleshooting
Tiles not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of dust). Verify that the correct type of professional cork adhesive was used and applied according to its specific instructions. Allow adhesive to become tacky before application.
Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly
Use a very sharp utility knife and a sturdy metal ruler or straight edge. Make multiple light passes rather than trying to cut through in one go. Ensure the tile is on a firm, flat surface while cutting.
Discoloration or fading
Avoid prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight, which can cause natural cork to fade. Ensure the area is not subject to staining from spills that are not cleaned promptly.
Soundproofing not as expected
Confirm that all tiles are fitted tightly together with no gaps. For enhanced soundproofing, consider adding a secondary layer of sound-dampening material behind the cork tiles if feasible for your installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Uneven surfaces may require sanding or priming.
Adhesion: For optimal and lasting adhesion, it is recommended to use a professional cork adhesive. Apply the adhesive evenly to both the back of the tiles and the wall surface according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Allow the adhesive to become tacky before carefully pressing the tiles into place.
Cutting: Tiles can be cut using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge. Measure and mark lines carefully before cutting.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls in residential and commercial spaces. Not recommended for areas with constant high humidity or direct water exposure.
Care: Clean the tiles periodically with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the cork material. Regular dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment is also recommended.
