FAQs
Can these tiles be applied over wallpaper?
It is best to apply these tiles over smooth, flat, and securely adhered surfaces. If the wallpaper is peeling or textured, it may not provide a suitable base and could affect adhesion.
How many tiles do I need for my splashback?
Measure the height and width of your splashback area in centimeters. Multiply these two numbers to get the square meterage. Divide your total square meterage by the area covered by one tile (15.3cm x 15.3cm = 234.09 sq cm or 0.0234 sq m) and round up to account for cuts and waste.
Are these tiles suitable for a fireplace surround?
These tiles are waterproof but not designed to withstand direct heat. Keep them away from direct heat sources like gas hobs or fireplaces, as heat can damage the material.
How do I remove the tiles when I want a change?
To remove, gently warm the tiles with a hairdryer on a low setting, which can soften the adhesive. Carefully peel them off starting from a corner. Clean any residue with a mild adhesive remover.
What is the thickness of the tiles?
The tiles are approximately 1.2mm (0.1cm) thick.
Can I paint over these tiles?
These tiles are designed with a printed surface and are not intended to be painted over. Painting may affect their adhesion and finish.
What is the warranty period for these tiles?
The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Tiles not sticking well
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth. Re-apply pressure. Consider using extra adhesive if needed, especially on textured surfaces or edges.
Air bubbles appearing under tiles
Gently lift the edge of the tile and re-apply, pressing from the center outwards. A pinprick can release trapped air, then smooth the area.
Tiles lifting at edges
Press down firmly on the edges. If persistent, a small amount of suitable adhesive can be applied to the edge.
Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly
Use a sharp craft knife or sturdy scissors. Score the vinyl first for a cleaner cut. A cutting mat can help with accuracy.
Grout lines from old tiles are still visible
Ensure the previous tiles are completely flat and smooth. If grout lines are deep, a thicker adhesive or a smoothing compound might be needed before application.
