Full details

FAQs

Can I apply these tiles over textured wallpaper?

These tiles are best applied to smooth, flat surfaces. Textured wallpaper may prevent proper adhesion and create an uneven finish. It's recommended to remove the wallpaper or apply to a smooth surface underneath.

Are these tiles suitable for a shower cubicle?

No, these tiles are waterproof on the surface but are not designed for constant immersion in water or direct shower spray. They are suitable for splashbacks and walls that may get damp but not wet.

How many tiles are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 6 self-adhesive wall tiles.

Can I remove the tiles later?

Yes, the tiles can be removed. Gently heat the tiles with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel them away from the surface. Some adhesive residue may remain and can be cleaned with a suitable adhesive remover.

What is the size of each tile?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's specifications for the exact dimensions of each LINA GREY tile.

Do I need any special tools to apply them?

You will need sharp scissors or a utility knife for cutting, and a soft cloth or plastic smoother for application. Ensure the surface is clean and dry beforehand.

Can I paint over these tiles?

These tiles are designed with a finished surface and are not intended to be painted over. Painting may affect the adhesion and the durability of the finish.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking well

Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before application. Remove any dust, grease, or moisture. If applying over old tiles, ensure they are not loose or uneven.

Air bubbles visible after application

Gently lift the edge of the tile and reapply, smoothing outwards from the center with a soft cloth or a plastic smoother to push out air. For small bubbles, a pinprick can sometimes release trapped air.

Grout lines showing through

This usually indicates the underlying grout lines are too deep or the original tiles are not perfectly flat. Ensure tiles are applied with firm pressure. For very deep grout lines, a thin layer of filler might be needed on the original surface before application.

Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly

Use a sharp pair of scissors or a new, sharp utility knife blade. Score the tile firmly along your cutting line before attempting to cut through. Measure twice and cut once.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy installation process.
  • No mess or grout required.
  • Cost-effective alternative to re-tiling.
  • Can be applied over existing tiles, saving removal time.
  • Waterproof surface is practical for splashbacks.
  • Allows for creative design combinations.

Cons

  • Not suitable for direct shower areas or constantly wet environments.
  • Requires a flat, smooth surface for best adhesion.
  • May not completely cover deeply textured or uneven existing tiles.
  • Long-term durability compared to real tiles may vary.
  • Potential for adhesive residue if removed improperly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to apply the tiles to is clean, dry, smooth, and free from grease or dust. If applying over existing tiles, ensure they are flat and firmly adhered. Peel away the backing paper from the self-adhesive tile. Carefully align the tile with your surface and press firmly from the center outwards to eliminate air bubbles. Butt the edges of the tiles together for a seamless finish; no grout is required. Tiles can be easily cut to size using sharp scissors or a craft knife.

Compatibility: These tiles are suitable for application over existing flat tiles, glass, painted plasterboard, or other smooth, non-porous surfaces. They are *not* suitable for use in shower cubicles, on floors, or in areas that are constantly exposed to water.

Care: Clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads, as these can damage the finish. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
