FAQs

Can I apply these tiles over textured wallpaper?

These tiles are best applied to smooth, flat surfaces. Application over textured wallpaper may result in poor adhesion and an uneven finish.

How do I clean the D-C-Fix Jamila tiles?

You can easily wipe the tiles clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.

Are these tiles suitable for a shower cubicle?

No, the tiles are waterproof but not suitable for direct shower areas or continuously wet environments.

How long should I wait after painting before applying the tiles?

Newly painted surfaces must be allowed to cure fully for 4 weeks before applying the self-adhesive tiles.

Can I remove and reposition the tiles if I make a mistake?

It is recommended to apply the tiles carefully to avoid repositioning, as repeated removal and reapplication may affect adhesive strength. However, they are designed to be removable.

What is the thickness of the tiles?

The D-C-Fix Jamila self-adhesive wall tiles are 1.2mm thick.

Can I mix and match different Jamila tile designs?

Yes, the collection is designed to allow you to mix and match different colors and patterns to create a unique look.

Are these tiles sold individually?

No, the D-C-Fix Jamila tiles are supplied as a multi-buy offer in factory-sealed packs and should not be split.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking securely

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. For difficult surfaces or added security, consider using an extra adhesive. Allow tiles to acclimatize for 48 hours before application.

Grout lines showing through from previous tiles

Ensure the existing tiles are flat and smooth. The Jamila tiles are designed to cover grout lines, but significant unevenness may still be visible. Apply firmly to ensure good adhesion.

Difficulty cutting tiles to size

Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for clean cuts. Score the vinyl deeply before attempting to cut through.

Damage or discoloration from heat

Keep the tiles away from direct heat sources like gas hobs, ovens, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause damage or discoloration.

Bubbles or air pockets after application

Smooth out any bubbles towards the edges immediately after application using a soft cloth or a plastic smoother. If bubbles appear later, carefully prick them with a fine needle and smooth down.
