FAQs
Can I apply these stickers over existing tiles?
Yes, as long as the existing tiles are smooth, clean, and in good condition. Ensure there is no grout shrinkage or damage that could prevent a smooth surface.
Are these stickers suitable for a shower area?
They are waterproof and can be used in bathrooms, but not recommended for direct, constant water immersion or areas with high steam buildup without proper sealing, as moisture can seep under the edges over time.
How long do the stickers typically last?
When applied correctly to a suitable surface and cared for properly, they can last for several years, resisting wear and tear effectively.
Can I reposition the stickers once applied?
Minor adjustments can sometimes be made immediately after application. However, once firmly pressed down, repositioning can be difficult and may damage the sticker or the surface.
What is the exact size of each sticker?
Each sticker measures 15cm x 15cm.
How many stickers are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 stickers.
Will these stickers work on textured wallpaper?
No, these stickers are designed for smooth surfaces. Application on textured wallpaper is not recommended as they will not adhere properly and may peel off.
Troubleshooting
Stickers not adhering well
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Reheat the sticker slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting and reapply pressure. Make sure you have removed any protective film if present.
Air bubbles trapped under the sticker
Use a fine needle to carefully prick the center of the bubble and then gently press the air out with a cloth or squeegee. For large bubbles, it might be necessary to lift the sticker and reapply.
Difficulty cutting the stickers
Use a sharp craft knife or quality scissors. Score the line lightly first, then make a clean cut. Applying a little heat can sometimes make the vinyl more pliable for cutting.
Stickers peeling at the edges
Ensure edges are pressed down firmly. For added security in high-moisture areas, consider applying a clear, tile-safe sealant along the edges after installation.
Residue left after removal
Gently rub the residue with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn residue, a residue remover suitable for the underlying surface may be used cautiously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Measure the area and plan your layout. Use a level for straight alignment.
- Carefully peel back a small section of the backing paper from one edge of the sticker.
- Align the sticker with your starting point (e.g., a corner or grout line) and press it down gently.
- Slowly peel off the remaining backing paper while smoothing the sticker onto the surface with a dry cloth or squeegee, working from the center outwards to minimize air bubbles.

Care:
