Tips for Installing Peel and Stick Wall Tiles

Peel and stick tiles are easy-to-use, self-adhesive tiles that you can apply on any indoor wall – be it bathroom, kitchen, entryway, or living room. However, they are not as easy as that.

To make sure that your peel and stick wall tiles perform to your expectations, you will need to install them the right way and most importantly, on the right surface, in the right condition.

This blog will give you a few useful tips on DIY installing peel and stick wall tiles by yourself. Check out the following pointers –

• Dress up the surface on which the tiles will be installed. It should be in a perfect condition for peel and stick wall tile installation. There should be no dust and loose debris on the substrate.
• In addition, the substrate should be free from uneven areas. If you can notice craters and bulges on the surface, use a stable solution to level them up.
• If there is a wax coating on the wall, you will need to remove it before tiling. Use ammonia (¼ part) and water (1 gallon) to wash the wax coating. Let the surface dry before next step.
• If there is paint or varnish on the wall, then also it would be wise to remove these coatings from the wall. It helps the tile achieve a good grip on the substrate.
• Once the surface is in the right condition for tiling, wipe it with a moist cloth to remove loose dust and debris off it.
• Use tin snips or heavy-duty scissors to cut peel and stick tiles to fit around the edges and obstructions. Cut the tiles without removing their protective backing.

There you have it. Hope these tips help with your DIY peel and stick tile installation.
