How To Use Our Adhesive Strips (for reusing your tiles)

• Firstly you need to seperate the two layers ensuring the adhesive stays on the white strip, once separated you will see a blue strip & a white strip.
• The most important part here is to make sure the adhesive stays stuck on the white strip, the blue strip should be clean and can be disposed of once removed.
• Next you can begin sticking the strip onto the first side of your tile. Use a squeegee to really get it stuck onto your tile and then remove the final white strip exposing the strip of adhesive.
• Now you can continue the process until each side of the tile has an adhesive strip on. You can also apply one in the centre to help it stick more effectively.  
• We use a peel/perm adhesive which means one side is permanent and one side is removable. Ensuring the adhesive is applied the right way is very important as if you apply the permanent side down to your surface  it will struggle to remove cleanly.

TOP TIP - When cutting around awkward edges like curves, toilets, sinks etc start by using paper templates to save wasting tiles. Once you have perfected a paper template you can trace this onto your tile.

• Ceramic flat tiles (with bevelled or uneven tiles the peel & stick tiles may struggle to stay adhered, test a sample)
• Wood flooring (some wood surfaces may need a layer of primer first)
• Most painted surfaces (please test & ensure a sample sticks well prior. Some paint types will repel the tiles adhesive)
• Lino flooring  
• Concrete & untreated wood (with these surfaces you will need to add a layer of primer so that the adhesive bonds & stays stuck)
• If you are unsure about your area please get in touch & we will advise.
• Please ensure you have tested samples on your surface first to ensure they bond together.

• Preparing the area! -
  Firstly you need to make sure your area is completely clean & dry! We recommend using sugar soap to really get rid of any dirt & grime! 
  ^{If the area below is very uneven you may need to use extra adhesive to really bond the peel & stick tiles to your area.}
• Start applying!-
  Now you are ready to go! Simply begin 1 by 1 peeling the tiles backing paper off the tile & sticking it into position. Make sure you stick the tile as close to the edge as possible to avoid anything getting underneath. 
• Continue applying! -
  Now you can continue applying each tile by peeling & sticking, its as easy as that! did you know you can also re position the tiles if you place them slightly off!
  ^{Make sure each tile is placed as close together as possible when applying, no gaps should be visible.}
  
• Finishing touches!-
   Once all your tiles are stuck down we recommend either using a squeegee to ensure they are all fully stuck down or patting them down securly. If any tiles need trimming use a sharp blade or scissors to cut away any excess.

HELPFUL TIP! -
If you are using the peel & stick tiles in rooms with moisture it would be good to use some silicone around any open edges where moisture could get in!
