FAQs
Can I use these tiles in a shower?
No, these tiles are not suitable for installation inside shower cubicles or areas subject to direct, constant water spray.
Are these tiles heat resistant?
They are not suitable for direct heat areas, such as behind a gas hob, as extreme heat may cause the adhesive to fail or the vinyl to warp.
Do I need to apply grout?
No, these are designed as butt-joint tiles to provide a seamless modern finish without the need for grout.
Can I apply them over old ceramic tiles?
Yes, as long as the existing tiles are flat, stable, and have been thoroughly cleaned and degreased.
How do I remove them if I move house?
They can generally be peeled off, though you may need a hairdryer to gently warm the adhesive to make removal easier.
What is the recommended cleaning method?
Wipe with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges.
Troubleshooting
Tiles are peeling at the edges
Ensure the surface was completely clean and degreased before application. If the surface is porous or dusty, apply a primer first.
Air bubbles trapped under the vinyl
Smooth the tile from the center outwards toward the edges using a soft felt-edged squeegee or a dry, clean cloth during installation.
Tiles won't stick to a painted wall
Verify the paint has cured for at least 4 weeks. If the paint is old or peeling, sand the surface and prime it before attempting re-application.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Easy to clean with standard detergents
- Effective at covering existing flat tiles
Cons
- Not suitable for use directly behind gas hobs
- Cannot be installed inside shower cubicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, unpack your tiles and allow them to acclimatize to the room temperature for 48 hours to ensure optimal adhesive performance. Ensure the installation surface is completely flat, dry, and free of dust or grease. If applying to a newly painted wall, you must wait at least 4 weeks for the paint to fully cure.
To install, peel the backing paper and press the tile firmly onto the surface, starting from a corner or a central point for alignment. Butt the tiles edge-to-edge for a clean appearance. For long-term care, clean the tiles with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh scouring pads or chemicals that may damage the vinyl finish.
