FAQs

How long should I let the tiles acclimatize before applying?

You should let the tiles acclimatize in the room where they will be installed for at least 48 hours before application to ensure optimal adhesion.

Can I apply these tiles over wallpaper?

These tiles are best applied to smooth, painted walls or over existing flat tiles. Application over wallpaper is not recommended as the adhesive may damage the wallpaper or fail to adhere properly.

Are these tiles safe to use behind a gas hob?

No, these tiles should be kept away from direct heat sources like gas hobs, as high temperatures can damage the material.

How do I remove the tiles if I want to change them?

You can lift the tiles from a corner and peel them off. If there is any adhesive residue, it can typically be removed with a mild adhesive remover.

Can I use these tiles in a high-humidity area like a bathroom?

Yes, they are water-resistant and suitable for areas with humidity, but they are not suitable for use inside shower cubicles. It is recommended to seal any edges if using in very wet areas.

What is the thickness of the composite wall tiles?

The tiles have a thickness of 3mm, which provides a textured and authentic finish.

Do I need grout or glue for installation?

No, grout and glue are not required. The tiles feature a strong PE adhesive on the back, and you simply peel and apply.

Troubleshooting

Tile not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, smooth, and dry. Re-apply with firm pressure. If repositioning, use a light water spray on the adhesive.

Difficulty cutting tiles to size

Use a sharp utility knife or craft knife and a ruler for precise cuts. Score the surface multiple times for cleaner edges.

Bubbles appearing after application

Carefully lift the affected tile edge and re-apply, pressing out air bubbles. A pinprick can release trapped air if re-application isn't feasible.

Appearance of moisture damage or peeling at edges

Ensure edges are properly sealed, especially in areas with potential moisture. Avoid direct water contact in these areas.
