Installation Information for BUYSTICKTILES’s Peel & Stick Products

To ensure a successful installation of your Peel & Stick Tile, please read and review these important installation information bullet points, as well as the back of the product’s packaging:

  • Depending upon your product, most Peel & Stick products can be cut with a“sharp” utility knife. Be sure to have extra blades on hand. Some Peel & Stick products do require the use of a wet saw to cut the tiles. Please refer to the product information card on the back of your tile product for details.
  • Make sure that the surface is flat, smooth, clean and free of dust, dirt, oils and moisture;
  • Check all pieces for any undesired characteristics or variations in pattern before installing;
  • Measure each area where each tile is going then mark those cut lines on your tile piece;
  • To cut tiles with a utility knife, use a metal ruler or square, balancing your sharp utility blade against its edge. Press firmly on your knife and score along the same line 3-5 times. Bend the tile at the score mark. Flip the tile over, placing the metal ruler along the score mark. Score 3-5 more times. Snap the tile at the score mark and trim off any excess backing. PRO TIP: Cut your tile in one continuous line;
  • Change the utility blade knife after 2 tiles;
  • Some tile patterns like herringbone, chevron, and hexagon, are difficult to cut because of their shapes. However, using a sharp blade helps prevent frustration;
  • Make sure that the tile is positioned properly before applying any pressure to it;
  • Apply pressure to the middle and the four corners of the tile;
  • Applying pressure to the tile will permanently bond it to the wall. If the tile is installed in the wrong position, removing it may cause damage to the substrate where the tiles have been applied.
