How to Install BUYSTICKTILES 3D Peel and Stick Wall Tiles

Transform your space effortlessly with BUYSTICKTILES's 3D Peel and Stick Wall Panels. Follow these simple steps for a seamless installation:

🧼 Step 1: Clean the Surface

  • Preparation: Thoroughly clean the wall surface using a powerful grease remover, such as TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate), to eliminate any dust, grease, or residues.
  • Drying: Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
  • Freshly Painted Walls: If your walls have been recently painted, wait up to three weeks before applying the tiles to allow the paint to cure fully.

✏️ Step 2: Plan and Cut

  • Layout Planning: Use a pencil and ruler to lightly mark on the wall where each tile will be placed, ensuring a precise layout.
  • Cutting Tiles: Utilize a box cutter and a metal ruler with a cork backing to accurately cut the tiles to fit your design requirements.

🔗 Step 3: Peel and Stick

  • Peeling: Gently fold down the protective backing of the tile, being careful not to touch the adhesive side, as oils and dirt can affect its strength.
  • Placement: Align the first tile with your guide marks and press lightly to position it correctly.
  • Adhering: Once satisfied with the placement, remove the remaining backing and press the tile firmly against the wall. Use a plastic smoother to ensure optimal adhesion, paying special attention to grout lines and concave areas.

🎉 Step 4: Finish and Enjoy

  • Repeat: Continue the process, repeating the above steps to cover your desired area.
  • Final Press: After 24 hours, press the grout lines firmly again with a plastic smoother to reinforce adhesion.
  • Curing Time: The adhesive typically achieves full bonding strength within 48 hours.

🧱 Suitable and Unsuitable Surfaces

✅ Recommended Surfaces

  • Smooth ceramic tile backsplashes
  • Smooth glass tile backsplashes
  • Acrylic wall panels
  • Painted gypsum walls
  • Wall linoleum
  • Stainless steel

Note: If the wall surface is not ideal or for enhanced adhesion, consider using 3M Purpose 45 spray glue.

📏 Tips for a Successful Installation

  • Tile Quantity: Measure your space accurately and consider purchasing an additional 10% to account for cutting and waste.
  • Batch Consistency: Ensure all tiles come from the same production batch to avoid slight color variations.
  • Adhesion Check: After installation, especially after 24 hours, press the tiles again to reinforce the bond.
