FAQs

Can I apply these tiles over existing wallpaper?

It is recommended to apply these tiles only over flat, painted, and smooth surfaces like existing tiles or plastered walls. Wallpaper may not provide a suitable adhesion surface.

Are these tiles suitable for a shower enclosure?

No, these tiles are waterproof on the surface but are not designed for constant exposure to water or immersion. They are best suited for splashback areas and not wet zones like shower cubicles.

How do I remove the tiles if I want a change?

You can typically peel them off slowly. If there is any residual adhesive, it can usually be removed with a mild solvent or warm, soapy water and a cloth. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Can I mix and match different LINA BEIGE tile designs?

Yes, the collection allows for mixing and matching of different colours and patterns to create a unique design statement or a more subtle blend.

What surface preparation is needed before application?

The surface must be clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust, grease, or soap residue. Ensure any existing paint is sound and not peeling.

How do I clean the tiles once they are applied?

Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent and water, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can these tiles be used on a countertop?

While the surface is waterproof, they are designed for vertical wall applications (splashbacks) and may not withstand the wear and tear or heat from a countertop.

Troubleshooting

Tile not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Re-position the tile and press firmly, paying attention to the edges.

Air bubbles under the tile

Gently lift the edge of the tile and carefully re-apply, smoothing out the air towards the edge. For small bubbles, a pinprick may release the air.

Grout lines from old tiles showing through

Ensure the underlying tiles are perfectly flat and smooth. For significant grout line depth, a skim coat of filler might be needed on the wall before application, or consider a tile with a thicker, more opaque design.

Difficulty cutting tiles

Use sharp scissors or a sharp craft knife with a cutting mat for clean cuts. Score the line and then bend to snap for thicker vinyl if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat before application. Remove the backing paper from the tile. Carefully align the edge of the tile with the desired starting point and press firmly onto the surface. Butt the next tile tightly against the previous one, ensuring no gaps. If needed, use scissors or a cutting tool to trim tiles to size before application.

Compatibility: These tiles are compatible with existing flat tiles (of any size) and smooth, plastered walls. They are *not* suitable for textured surfaces, uneven walls, or areas with direct, prolonged exposure to water such as shower cubicles or wet rooms.

Care: Clean the tile surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could scratch the surface. Wipe away spills immediately to prevent staining.
