FAQs
Can I install these tiles over existing floor tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are smooth, well-adhered, and level. Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of grout haze.
Are these tiles suitable for bathrooms?
They can be used in bathrooms with light moisture. Avoid areas of direct water contact or prolonged dampness, as this can affect adhesion and material integrity over time.
How long do these tiles typically last?
With proper installation and maintenance in a low to moderate traffic area, they can last several years. Lifespan varies based on usage and environmental conditions.
Can I reposition a tile if I place it incorrectly?
It's best to peel and reposition immediately after placement. Once firmly pressed down, repositioning can be difficult and may damage the adhesive or the tile.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
No special tools are typically required for basic installation. A sharp utility knife or scissors may be needed for cutting around obstacles or edges.
How do I remove the tiles when I want a change?
Gently lift a corner and slowly peel the tile back at a sharp angle. Using a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the adhesive can make removal easier. Residue can be cleaned with a suitable adhesive remover.
Troubleshooting
Tiles not sticking well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and smooth. Reheat adhesive slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting and press firmly. For stubborn areas, consider a vinyl flooring adhesive.
Bubbles or air pockets forming
Carefully lift the tile just before the bubble and smooth it out towards the edge. Use a pin to prick small bubbles and press flat.
Edges lifting after installation
Gently lift the edge and reapply with firm pressure. If the adhesive has lost tackiness, apply a small amount of vinyl flooring adhesive along the edge.
Scratches or scuff marks appearing
Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. For minor scuffs, rubbing gently with a pencil eraser may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or grease.
- For best results, acclimate the tiles to room temperature for at least 24 hours before installation.
- Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
- Carefully align the first tile and press it firmly into place, working from the center outwards.
- Continue applying tiles, overlapping edges slightly if recommended by the manufacturer (check packaging for specific instructions).
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use on smooth, sealed surfaces such as existing vinyl, linoleum, or concrete.
- *Not recommended* for use on textured, uneven, or newly laid (unsealed) floors.
- Avoid installation in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations or direct, prolonged sunlight, which can affect adhesive and material.
Care:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes that can scratch the vinyl surface.
- Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage.
