FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a measuring tape, utility knife or tile cutter, a straight edge, a pencil, a damp cloth, and silicone sealant (for wet areas).

Can I use these tiles in a shower?

Yes, but it's essential to seal the edges with silicone sealant to prevent water from seeping behind the tiles.

How do I remove the tiles?

Carefully prise away the tiles with a flat-headed screwdriver. Clean any remaining residue with hot soapy water.

Are the tiles heat-resistant?

While the tiles are durable, prolonged exposure to high heat sources, such as directly behind a gas hob, is not recommended.

Can I apply these tiles over existing tiles?

Yes, but ensure the existing tiles are clean, dry, and flat before applying the D-C-Fix tiles.

How long will the tiles last?

With proper installation and care, these tiles can last for several years. The lifespan depends on factors like usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions.

What is the best way to cut the tiles?

Use a sharp utility knife or a tile cutter for clean, precise cuts. Score the tile multiple times before snapping it along the score line.

Troubleshooting

Tiles are not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. Press firmly on the tiles to activate the adhesive. If necessary, use a primer for non-smooth surfaces.

Water is penetrating the tiles in the shower area.

Check and re-seal the edges with silicone sealant to ensure a waterproof barrier.

Difficult to cut tiles.

Use a sharp utility knife or a specialized tile cutter. Measure accurately and score the tile before cutting.

Residue left after removing tiles.

Use hot soapy water to clean the residue. A plastic scraper can also help.
