FAQs
Are these tiles suitable for a shower cubicle?
No, these tiles are waterproof on the surface but are not recommended for direct use inside shower cubicles or wet rooms where they will be constantly exposed to water.
Can I apply these tiles over existing wallpaper?
It is best to apply them over smooth, painted surfaces or existing flat tiles. If applying over wallpaper, ensure it is flat, smooth, and very securely adhered. Otherwise, the wallpaper texture may show through, or the adhesive may not hold.
How do I clean the tiles?
The tiles can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools.
What is the warranty period for these tiles?
The D-C-Fix Lina Grey Self-Adhesive Vinyl Wall Tiles come with a 1-year guarantee.
How many tiles are in a pack?
This pack contains 36 tiles.
Can I remove these tiles later?
Yes, the tiles are designed to be removable. You can lift them from a corner. Some adhesive residue may remain, which can typically be cleaned off.
Do I need to grout these tiles?
No, grouting is not required. The tiles are designed to be butted up against each other for a seamless finish.
What are the dimensions of each tile?
Each tile measures approximately 15.3 x 15.3 x 0.1 cm (H x W x D).
Troubleshooting
Tiles not sticking properly
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. For older installations, consider applying extra adhesive to the edges or back of the tile. Ensure the surface isn't excessively porous.
Bubbles forming under the tile
Peel back the tile slowly and reapply, smoothing from the center outwards with firm pressure. Use a pin to gently prick and release trapped air if necessary.
Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a fresh blade in a craft knife. Score the vinyl first if using a knife for a cleaner cut.
Grout lines still visible
Ensure tiles are butted together as tightly as possible. If applying over very deep grout lines, consider a skim coat of filler on the wall first for a truly flat surface.
Tiles lifting at the edges
Ensure edges are clean and dry. Apply a thin bead of strong tile adhesive (like Bostik or similar) along the edges for extra security, especially in areas with potential moisture.
