Tile films: innovative way to beautify rooms
Tile films are an innovative way to beautify old or ugly tiles in different rooms of the house without the need for expensive renovation work. These self-adhesive films are available in different sizes, shapes and colours and can be applied to almost any tile surface to give it a new look.
Areas of application for tile foils: bathroom, kitchen, hallway and living room.
Tile films can be used on floors and walls in many different rooms, including bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and even living rooms. In the bathroom, they can be applied to wall and floor tiles to give a new look and freshen up the room. In the kitchen, they can help create a new colour palette or to cover old tiles without the need for expensive renovations. In hallways and living rooms, they can help create an attractive and uniform look.
Advantages of tile films over new tiles
The biggest advantage of tile films over new tiles is that they offer a cost-effective and quick way to achieve a new look. Unlike tile renovation, which can be expensive and time-consuming, applying tile foils does not require professional expertise or special tools. It is also easier and faster to apply the foil to existing tiles than to install new tiles. In addition, tile foils can be easily removed and replaced if the taste or look of the room changes, without the need for a new remodelling. Even minor imperfections in the tiles can be ideally concealed by applying a tile sticker.
Another advantage of tile films is that they can provide a long-lasting and water-resistant solution. High-quality tile films are usually waterproof and stain-resistant, which can help extend their durability and appearance.
Overall, tile films offer a quick, cost-effective and long-lasting way to change the look of a room and cover up old or ugly tiles. Their ease of application and removal make them a popular option for homeowners looking for a quick and easy way to achieve a new look.
FAQ's about tile foils / tile stickers
How long does tile foil last?
The durability of tile foil depends on various factors, such as the quality of the material, the application and the environmental conditions. High-quality tile foils can last several years before they need to be replaced. When applied correctly, tile foils can also be water-resistant and dirt-repellent, which contributes to longer durability.
Can tile foil be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, tile foils can be used when underfloor heating is installed. However, it is important to ensure that the tile foil is suitable for this type of installation and to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Is tile foil waterproof?
Self-adhesive furniture films have a transparent adhesive on the back, just like a sticker. This has a backing paper on it, which must first be peeled off a little. The exposed backing is aligned on the surface to be foiled and pressed on piece by piece with a squeegee without bubbles. Any protruding material is then neatly cut off with a cutter knife.
Can you paste over tiles in the shower?
Ja, es ist möglich, Fliesen in der Dusche mit Fliesenfolien zu überkleben, vorausgesetzt, dass die Fliesenfolie für die Verwendung in nassen Umgebungen geeignet ist. Es ist jedoch wichtig, sicherzustellen, dass die Fliesen gründlich gereinigt und trocken sind, bevor die Fliesenfolie angebracht wird, um eine gute Haftung zu gewährleisten.
What can you do with ugly tiles?
There are several ways to deal with ugly tiles. One option is to paint over the tiles or cover them with tile foil to give them a new look. Another option is to replace the tiles with new ones or distract them with decorations or furniture to reduce their visibility.
Can you stick tile stickers over joints?
Yes, tile stickers can be applied over grout joints to create a new look. However, it is important to ensure that the joints are thoroughly cleaned and dry before applying the tile stickers to ensure good adhesion. It may also be necessary to cut the tile stickers to the size of the tiles and joints to achieve a perfect result.
