Linox Stainless Steel 12.09 in. x 11.97 in. x 5 mm Brushed Metal Self-Adhesive Wall Mosaic Tiles

I just repainted my kitchen and wanted to do a backsplash behind my range, as paint tends to get funky-looking from occasional grease spatters after a while. It's not the easiest material to cut, and takes more time than I expected. I used a utility knife with a brand-new blade, and a metal ruler, to get a clean, straight line. I found that you have to make a dozen or so passes, and then you can carefully snap it on the edge of your work surface. Not the worst thing in the world, just time consuming. You have to be careful, so you don't accidentally slip and scratch the surface of your tile! Wetting the tiles with soapy water, as recommended by the manufacturer is a great idea, but use sparingly, or your tile will fall off the wall! Most pictures show these tiles placed horizontally, but I decided to go vertical, and am very pleased with the results. I have copper knobs and drawer pulls on my cabinets, so the copper color of these tiles compliment that look very well. I used the vinyl self-adhesive Smart Edge product made by Smart Tiles in Ambra (also sold by Home Depot), as it was the closest match to the copper color of the tiles. In short, a little harder to work with than I expected, but overall, very pleased with the look and quality of this material.

This was the worst decision of buying these tiles, I wasted my money and my time. I would recommend to stay away from this crap. Look for better brand who stand behind their product. I purchased 24 tiles and installed about 3 weeks ago. As Directed I thoroughly cleaned the wall with recommended TSP cleaner prior to install tiles. Majority of the tiles are coming off from the edges already. I had very high hope from this product and am very disappointed that this product didn't even last one full month. I contacted manufacturer and Here is the response I received from Speed Tiles. Response: The only solution that comes into mind would be to take them off and apply another adhesive behind the tiles. Unfortunately we do not have any specific recommendation as of what adhesive to use. Sorry not to be able to help you more, Marie SPEEDTILES TEAM

There was no way to cut these with a blade or scissors! I want those people to come to my house. We’re talking mitre saw! Not even ten snips because they leave marks on the delicate metal. I got my saw fir 100$ on sale and I will use it on other projects but don’t be fooled. You cannot cut this easily!

So easy to cut and install.

The tiles look gorgeous as a backsplash in my kitchen. Even though they are stick on tiles I would not have been able to do them perfectly myself so I had my handyman install them. If someone is handy and has some experience than I think they can install them easily

The speedtiles were amazing! All you need to cut it is a razor blade! They are much easier to work with than expected. You might have to score it a couple times and push down firmly as you do it but then it snaps apart for you. Now if you're going between the squares it's super easy. That's only for you if you have to cut through one of the squares. We watched a video through the company speedtiles.com. One suggestion they had is to use a tablespoon of dish soap in a spray bottle with 1 quart of water and spray the sticky part of the tile before putting it on the wall. This will help you maneuver it and get it into the position you want before it locks down for good. Thank God we knew this little trick cuz we had to do that for some smart tiles we got that were terrible to work with! They were thin and flimsy ripped easily and the finished product wasn't that great either for the price. The price of these are amazing as well!! They are sturdy they lock together and are firm. These will last forever. I do not suggest getting the J trim they recommended to go with it. It's got a funny cross-hatching and it's too dark of a color it's almost a grey silver. We returned it and got just silver with no cross hatching. Sorry if this write-up isn't that good I wrote I whole thing and then it disappeared. If you look at the pictures I put in you're probably wondering what's behind the stove. We decided not to do the speedtiles the whole way through because we wanted a shelf above our stove. So the silver that you are seeing is just a sheet of metal that we got from Shenango who also bent it for us and we screwed it into the wall. It's not as pretty as the speedtiles but it's more practical we cook a lot!! But before you order think about doing behind the stove and make sure you get enough. Especially if someday you are going to get a nice stove that has no back. Because I think these will stand the test of time!

Have not installed this yet. Their were no installation instructions in the box. Their website was not very helpful , and the phone contact was limited in there hours of operations. I have a very old hood that the edge needs to slide up and behind , and i have a corner and two edges to consider. I hope i can install it directly on sheetrock (purple board) and the taping compound. I have a level line for the bottom of the top tile run. I will have a base board and b-board the a transition (chair type) board that is adaptable beneath it. I think that i have it figured out. Ask me later this week to see how it went.

They work and look great. We learned to wet the back less so that you can get a tight fit against the previously olive section. Otherwise we have no complaints

I was able to cut this product with a utility blade and scissors (only if cutting one piece of the tile). Install was easy. I did not have to put soapy water on the back for repositioning. I just took my time. The adhesive back is very sticky. You will not get an entire 12x12 tile off (without destroying it). I advise to silicone the edges to prevent moisture from getting to the adhesive back and if water sits on the metal long enough, it could possibly rust. I wouldn’t recommend this on rental property. I can see a grease build up getting in the tiny cracks if not constantly degreased with a soft cloth. It took me approximately 2 hours to install. This is exactly what I thought it would look like. It is a beautiful polished look for a small cost. I am a Professional contractor of 25 years. I believe a homeowner will be able to successfully install this product.

Interesting pattern on bathroom wall. Irregular edges on border . Reflects light beautifully! Easily installed.
