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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation is Key:

  1. Acclimatize: Allow the tiles to acclimatize in the room for at least 48 hours before application.
  2. Surface Check: Ensure the surface is smooth, clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or soap residue. For newly painted walls, allow them to cure for a minimum of 4 weeks.
  3. Test Adhesion: If applying over existing tiles, ensure they are flat and well-adhered. The product can cover existing grout lines.

Application:

  1. Measure & Cut: Measure the area and cut tiles to size using scissors or a suitable cutting tool.
  2. Peel & Stick: Carefully remove the backing paper from one tile.
  3. Align & Apply: Position the tile onto the prepared surface. Press firmly from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
  4. Butt Joints: For subsequent tiles, butt the edges together firmly, ensuring they are level with the previous tile. No grouting is required.
  5. Sealing Edges: If using in areas prone to moisture, consider sealing the edges with appropriate sealant.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for smooth, clean painted walls or existing flat tiles.
  • Not suitable for use in shower cubicles or areas with constant water exposure.
  • Keep away from direct heat sources such as gas hobs.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
  • Durable and designed for regular cleaning.
