Before you begin, repair and clean the floor.
If you recently painted you need to wait for 4 weeks. The surface needs to be clean, smooth, and dry. At the bottom of the post, I have another tile that looks to be similar. You can expect to spend about 2 hours tiling an 8x10-foot floor. Note: Since posting on Instagram this pattern has sold out, hopefully, they will re-stock soon. Wipe previously caulked areas with rubbing alcohol. Thoroughly clean the surface with scouring powder to remove all residue, and then rinse with water. Paint thinner or mineral spirits can be used to soften caulk prior to removal. Don't remove the tile backing until you're ready to set the tile. Preparing the surface is critical to successful adhesion of Magic Peel & Stick Caulk. Place a wastebasket at your side as you lay the tiles. Also, the paper backings on self-stick tile are slippery underfoot. The tile will likely be damaged, but you might be able to find a place for it as a cut tile in a corner. If you misalign a tile, you'll probably have to pull it up and replace it. Consult manufacturer's directions before applying.Īlso understand that once the tile comes into contact with the floor, the adhesive is unforgiving you won't be able to adjust the tile's position. Others do, but only on porous surfaces such as plywood. Our steps do include the application of a primer, but some manufacturers don't recommend a primer.
We'll walk you through the entire installation process for self-stick tile. How straight the remaining installation looks depends in large part on the accuracy of the first row. However, self-stick tile also requires a precise eye when setting the first tile and those in the first row adjoining it. It requires only basic skills, minimal time, and a few tools. Self-stick vinyl tile (also called peel-and-stick tile) is a do-it-yourselfer's dream material.
