Sticker tiles
are an easy and inexpensive way to renovate walls. It looks attractive and
serves its purpose, but the question is whether glued tiles are always the best
option.Steps to install
sticker tilesInstalling peel
and stick tiles begin with a smooth, clean surface.The first step
in installing peel and stick tile floors begins with a clean, flat, and dry
surface. It is possible to lay new sticker tiles on top of old tiles or
linoleum, but the old surface must be ground and completely clean, dry, and
smooth. This is a time-consuming process, but it needs to be done if you are
using nails. Remove the formwork along the wall so that the tiles can be
attached directly to the wall.Find the room's
focal point.Find the room's
focal point in Step 2 of installing peel and stick tiles. To do this, a tape
measure and chalk line are required. Measure the width of both sides of the
room, divide the edges of the room in half and mark exactly in the middle of
the room. Divide the length of the room in half, break the throttle line that
divides the length of the room exactly in half, and perform the exact same
process. Regardless of the size of the room, you need to use this throttle process
because you need to start the first time in the middle of the room and practice
from there. This process should result in a clean, dry, and flat surface with
two throttle lines separated by 90 °. Or, you can easily say that it
comfortably fits the corner of the first piece.Start Installing
tilesThe third step
in peel and stick tile installation is to begin installing the tiles on the
floor. Take the first tile and flip it over on a thin piece of paper. All cards
have arrows pointing in the same direction. The reason is that all tiles are
pointing in the same direction during installation. When installing each
square, remember to first check the direction of the arrow and rotate the tiles
accordingly before peeling the paper off the back. Laying the first tiles is
very important, and at this point, you can move it around a bit to fit the
throttle line perfectly. Take the rolling pin of a wooden bakery and roll it
up, turn the tiles over and fix it on the floor. Be careful not to move the
tiles when doing this. Then take the new tiles one by one, observe the arrow's
direction, place them firmly on the first tiles on the floor, and lay them
carefully. Rotate each tile with a roller that secures the tiles to the floor
and aligns all edges tightly. Do not rush the process; the tighter the fit, the
better the finished work.Cut the edgesThe fourth and
final step in installing sticker tiles is
cutting the edges to fit the wall perfectly. For this purpose, it is
recommended to have a large, fluffy board to use as a cutting board, sharp
construction knives, straight metal edges, and all the odd angle bar
measurements that you may encounter around furniture and doors.Conclusion:Adhesive tiles are much easier to
apply to walls than ceramic tiles.
Using ceramic means using tile glue, grout, and lots of skills to get perfect
results. Sticker tiles do not require such treatment.
