Hello Carlo, you may install our peel and stick Smart Tiles directly over an existing backsplash such as ceramic or glass, as long as the tiles have been properly cleaned with a degreaser. Please ensure that the existing surface is sleek and smooth without any texture in order for our Smart Tiles to adhere properly. Also, you must take into account the width and depth of the existing grout lines as this might affect the outcome.
I did not try but I don't think it will be a goof material for high heat area. It is very similar material to high quality vinyl floor.
Hello, thank you for your question. They can be installed on a surface whose temperature does not exceed 49 °C (120 °F). Above all, it is important to avoid any direct contact with a heat source or direct exposure to an open flame. We also do not recommend installing a on the fireplace hearth. Our tiles would easily get damaged if used on the hearth due to walking, placing items on them or possible sparks or embers falling if the protective screen was removed. Doing so will damage the tiles and void the warranty.
You can screw through the tile but it is advisable to wait until the tile had completely bonded to the surface. Also, do not screw too tighlty to prevent a risk of warpping. Keep in mind , if you do drill or use nails, it will permenantly damage the tile and the warranty will probably no longer apply.
As these are self adhesive tiles, I recommend drilling as otherwise the shelf would be only help by two lots of self adhesive
Hello Rosa, you may drill holes or use mounting tape however, this would damage the tile and void all warranty.
Hello, Thank you for your interest in Smart Tiles. They are guaranteed not to yellow over time. The warranty applies to manufacturing and design defects. Certain conditions do apply and all warranty situations are evaluated case by case.
I believe in the warranty section it states will not crack or yellow over time.
I’ve had them about six months and so far, so good.
So far mine stays white, but it has only been a bit over a year
No. Not at all. I've had them in my kitchen as counter back and two sides of my cook-top for 2+ years and they look as good as when I put them up.
You can put them on depending on the state of the ‘old’ tiles They need to be clean, dry, and offer a firm base for the new tile.

Sure. Depending on the size and application of the old tiles, you might want to 'level-off' with a quick job of grout or not. I'm not even sure it's necessary - that would depend on their width of grout line and whether the new tile joints will fall very much on those old ones.
Hello, Thank you for your interest in Smart Tiles. You can install peel and stick Smart Tiles directly over your existing backsplash, whether it is glass or ceramic provided that your surface is smooth, sleek and without texture. You must also take into consideration the width and depth of your existing grout lines as this might affect the outcome.
Yes. They stick very well.
Yes, most definitely ! A quick quick cleaning with Simple Green, or whatever, to de-grease maybe. Then, no problem with formica at all.
Hello Nick, I do not think that you need any extra adhesive. The adhesive that is on the back of the tiles are enough. I installed them in my bathroom over 7 months ago and have not had any problems. I hope that this was helpful!
I did not need to use extra adhesive.
No! The adhesive on the tiles is really very good and nothing else is needed, or even a good idea.
Hello Nick, Thank you for your question. Smart Tiles are guaranteed to stick for as long as you need them too provided that all the installation guidelines were followed. The is no need for any extra adhesive, Just position, peel and stick!
Hello, thank you for your question. We recommend using Smart Edge Brillo SE1076 with Metro Campagnola to give a finished look.
I didn’t see one available. I put silicone around the edges.
I just cut a row and lay it vertically to cap the end to make a clean straight line
