10-Sheet Self-Adhesive Tile Backsplash for Kitchen, Vinyl Decorative Marble Tiles, 30 * 30cm

There are a lot of reviews on here, many with some useful info on whether these will be right for you. The sales description is very accurate, so I will just concentrate on what I found with these tiles.... I bought the marbly effect with darker tiles in them.Things note worthy:The darker ones are not black, they are a medium/dark grey, as well as lighter shades.The surface needs to be flawlessly clean or expect problems in the coming hours, days or weeks. I had multiple surface to adhere to, and whilst these will instantly grab any surface, they can peel or bubble if the surface is not properly prepared. I used an IPA spray (alcohol) as it removes greasy marks. If you have a good surface - these stick like sh....They are hard to cut.... not in the sense that you need a power saw to cut through them, but you will need a good Stanley knife blade (or several depending on quantity of tiles needed). You can slice through the grout effect areas like butter, but the raised tiles areas will take 2-6 pass throughs to cut effectively, depending on how hard you press. Don't be a hero, use firm but not arm shaking force to score them for a better finish. TIPS - use new blades for a perfectly clean cut.You can use scissors as well, but a knife blade gives a more accurate, clean cut on intricate areas.I have seen photos of people using these as backsplashes on a hob.....You are idio...... These are made from vinyl and is therefore a fire hazard. Don't lay these behind a hob!I bought various designs of these things from various companies before deciding on these.... I wanted a matt effect, but most were a gloss finish. These are a gloss finish, and in a way I now prefer that as they are easier to clean. There are loads of ads with photos that give an appearance of a matt finish, but they are not - just enticingly good photography - not that I'm a cynic!Corners - So I had inward and outward corners to contend with and tried all methods. By far the simplest is to cut into a corner. If you are not using something like PVC angle or other decorative 'disguises', then it can be a little tricky if your walls are not true. My walls were compulsive liars! They were out in every possible direction making 'cut in' corners difficult. Outer corners - yes you can fold these around corners. I had 4 of these. two I just folded alone, one I used spray adhesive, and another I used lots of spray adhesive! So a common area is the window recess area. a 90 degree bend. The first couple I just peeled and stuck around the corner, but the following day I noticed some minor bubbling right on the edge. I was able to drip some spray adhesive down the gap though. As with the glue instructions, spray it or drip it in a bubble gap and allow to go tacky for a 2-4 minutes before pushing down.... I did have one that persistently kept bubbling and I can only presume that I didn't prepare the area good enough.... NOTE - be careful if you rub hard to get a good clean 'fold' on the corner as you can split the vinyl if done too much... It will take some doing to actually crack though, so you can be quite forceful. Inner corners - again, I had 4 of these. much similar to the outer but you just need to be aware of the remaining tile (the bit going around the corner) Don't peel the protective backing off more than needed as they will grab any surface you accidently touch whilst trying to get a good push in the corner. As an example, if I had a whole tile needing to go around a corner, I would stick the nearest edge up to the corner - that way the tile is bonded and wont move. I then used my finger tips to push into the corner (hard). I then used a block of wood to get a good even and solid push into the corner, before removing the backing off the second half... NOTE - If your walls are not true, just remember that when you go around the corner, the tile may end up with the tile level changing and having a slight slope up or down. So, if your walls are waaaaaay out , I would recommend cutting into a corner. I did mess up in the beginning and started in the wrong corner. This led to coincidentally one of the tiles finishing in a corner.... However, as these tiles are staggered on every row, it meant that I had to fold some of the rows from the next tile around the corner. I was a bit worried that having only approx. 5 cm going around the corner would not be enough to hold it in perpetuity.... This corner was also waaaay out of alignment. It is a mainly hidden corner, so rather than removing a row of about 5 tiles (£15 worth), I actually folded the other tile around the corner and over lapped the other tile by about 10cm, laying one tile on top of the other..... If you can align them well, it doesn't overly show, and sticking these tiles on top of each other is probably the best surface to stick to! This gave me a stronger corner bond which won't be seen anyway and saved removing a whole row...... a learning curve tbh.... I wouldn't ordinarily do this type of thing but as it was out of sight, it didn't matter.Once you have done the tiling (if that's what you can call it)..... I used a tea towel and rubbed over the tiles every day for a couple of days to assist any air bubbling that may have occurred. You could use spray adhesive (carpet glue).... I bought 8 cans thinking that I would spray them all, but didn't need 7 of them as I put a lot of work into the prep. These are extremely grab sticky if the surface is perfect!My final observation/tip - I have OCD.... and when you are up close and personal cutting and sticking these to the wall, you can see every blemish, misalignment, bump bla bla..... (I am being extremely critical of minor issues.....my self-adhesive tiling is not that bad!!!) If you are thinking it is not perfect - step back and look at it. No one is going to be checking your tiles with a spirit level or magnifying glass, and you would have to be some sort of tiling genius to get perfect 'real' tiles, so some imperfections can actually enhance the look. Removing these tiles because it is not quite right is a 70/30 pot luck (depending on the backing surface as to whether the tile comes off clean enough to re-use, or if it has taken any paint or plaster with it..... so think twice before taking off.If you need to remove the tiles, a good way (even if used spray adhesive) is to warm the tiles up using a hair dryer, or steam wallpaper stripper, or if careful - a heated paint stripper. It will leave a residue, but should leave the walls intact!You can drill these. I would suggest that you use a wood/universal drill first (through the tile bit) if going into concrete. Once you have created a hole, then swap to a masonry drill. Just remember, these are essentially stickers, so if you are needing a hole near an edge of a tile, be careful as there is a chance you could snag the tile and pull it if you are using a blunt or slow speed drill.These are water resistant. You can wipe them down with a damp cloth and even spray with a bit of anti bac....... but they are not waterproof to the degree that putting them around a hot steamy shower will stop them peeling off. Invariably, at some point, they are likely to peel. Yes they will look great for a while , but if you want these to last (which they can) then don't put in wet areas.One final comment - every tile is 100% accurate and symmetrical to the next one in every way.... I noticed a darker area on one of my join areas which was annoying, and got me muttering about poor quality tiles..... then I noticed that a small bit of the FRONT protective film had not come off when I originally removed it. Luckily I noticed before ripping the tile off...Oh one more final comment - I can't reiterate enough - don't use this behind a hob.... It's dangerous! Yes, it will look lovely, but even if the kitchen doesn't catch fire at some point, invariably you are likely to ruin the tiles over time with the likes of fat splashing up on them etc.... buy a proper splashback for a hob.Hope that has helped answer some of the questions you have, like I did before deciding to buy these.

Looks really good and super sticky. Easy to work with.

The look is great and had lots of compliments. However 2 months on the corner keep coming unstuck. They are in a downstairs toilet so no steam. We are just going to glue the corners down as they look good.

Its easy to install

These tiles are nothing more than thin film. It has not been cut square and are not fit for purpose.The sizes coverage isn’t correct either as you have to cut so much away the tiles have about 15% less than the 30cm the state. I had no problem with the adhesion like so many others seem to have had.They are cheap for a reason, the look nice from afar but up close they are poor

Take your time to position these tiles, they are super adhesive. But, don’t panic if you don’t get it right first time, you can reposition them fairly easily and they still stick to the surface of old ceramic tiles really well.I thought that covering old tiles would be a nightmare, especially with a sheet that could show the lines of the old tiles, but amazingly, they covered them and I have managed to transform the kitchen that I hated, into a nice little space that I enjoy cooking in, with minimal effort and on a budget.Really impressed with this product and after recommending to friends that came over to see the end result, they are doing the same! 😁

Much admired by visitors. Easy for me to cut with scissors and stick on wall, even around the fiddly wall sockets . Went on flat, no bubbles . A quick and easy way to get a great splash back .

After taking our time and looking at various options we bought these for our kitchen. They were so easy to fit and they look brilliant.Would fully recommend

Looks good sticks really well. Awkward to install at first but you get the hang of it after the first piece.

Super cute and easy to install! Perfect for spicing your kitchen up without spending so much.

This went up quick. Cuts well with scissors and sticks great. Nice 3d texture. Great product.

Se ve bien el diseño, es un poco brilloso lo cual refleja mucho.Me cobraron gastos de envío, tardo en llegar, el precio la subieron y la adherencia a la paredes un nueve de 10, en ocasiones se despegó

Beautiful look, adhesion is not bad but could use a little more. Some tiles need to be pressed in place several times. Easy to install love the finished look
