FAQs
How long should I let the tiles acclimatize before use?
You should let the tiles acclimatize in the room where they will be applied for 48 hours prior to installation to ensure optimal adhesive performance.
Can I apply these tiles over existing wallpaper?
It is best to apply these tiles to smooth, clean painted walls or over existing flat tiles. Wallpaper may not provide a sufficiently smooth or stable surface for proper adhesion.
Are these tiles safe to use near a stove?
No, these tiles should be kept away from direct heat sources, such as gas hobs, as high temperatures can damage the material.
What is the warranty period for these tiles?
The D-C-Fix Wall Tiles come with a 1-year guarantee.
How do I clean the tiles?
The durable, scratch-resistant surface can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Can these tiles be removed without damaging the wall?
Yes, the tiles are designed to be removable. You can lift them carefully from a corner. Some residue might be left on certain surfaces, which can typically be cleaned off.
Are these tiles suitable for a shower cubicle?
No, these tiles are not suitable for shower cubicles where they would be exposed to direct and constant water spray. They have a water-resistant surface but are not waterproof for immersion.
Troubleshooting
Tile not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Allow tiles to acclimatize for 48 hours. For older installations, clean the surface thoroughly. For repositioning, ensure water is used on the adhesive side.
Bubbles appearing under the tile
Slowly peel back the tile and reapply, smoothing out from the center to the edges. If bubbles persist, you may need to carefully prick them with a fine needle and smooth down.
Difficulty cutting tiles
Use a sharp utility knife or craft knife. Score the tile firmly and then snap along the score line, or cut through completely. A cutting mat is recommended.
Tile appears uneven after application
Gently lift the tile (using water on the adhesive side if needed) and reapply, paying close attention to alignment with adjacent tiles.
