FAQs

How many tiles are in a pack?

Each pack contains 6 tiles.

What is the total coverage area per pack?

A pack covers approximately 0.56 square meters.

Can these tiles be used in a shower cubicle?

Yes, they are fully waterproof and can be used in shower cubicles, provided that all edges are properly sealed with silicone sealant to form a waterproof membrane.

Do I need grout for these tiles?

No, these are self-adhesive tiles and do not require grout.

What surfaces can I apply these tiles to?

They can be applied to plastered walls or over existing flat tiles. Avoid textured or uneven surfaces.

How do I cut the tiles?

The tiles can be easily cut to size using sharp scissors or a craft knife.

What is the purpose of the clear film around the edges?

The clear film around the sides should remain in place after application to help form a waterproof membrane behind the tiles, especially important for wet areas.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust or grease. For painted walls, ensure the paint is fully cured. For best results, apply to smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Bubbles forming under tiles

When applying, smooth out from the center of the tile towards the edges to push out air. If bubbles appear after application, you may be able to gently prick them with a fine needle and smooth the area down.

Water seeping behind tiles in wet areas

Ensure silicone sealant is applied generously and correctly along all edges, especially where tiles meet walls, fixtures, and each other in shower cubicles or around bathtubs. Reapply sealant if necessary.

Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly

Use sharp scissors or a craft knife and a straight edge for clean cuts. Score the tile first with the craft knife for more precise cuts, especially for detailed shapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Remove the white backing paper completely, but leave the clear protective film around the edges intact. Align the tile and press firmly from the center outwards. For wet areas like shower cubicles, apply a silicone sealant around all edges to create a waterproof barrier.

Compatibility: These tiles adhere best to plastered walls or existing smooth, flat tiles. Avoid application on textured, unpainted, or uneven surfaces.

Care: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing that could damage the surface or adhesive.
