What you’ll need to install
Tools
Although you don’t need any special tools, there are a few things we think make the job easier when applying the peel and stick wall tiles:
- grease remover: Preparation is key. To clean your wall we suggest you use some form of grease remover: We recommend sugar soap to clean the surface properly before you start.
- craft knife: Use a craft knife with a sharp blade to cut the tiles to size.
- scissors: These will come in handy when cutting the tiles around curved shapes.
- pen: Use a pen or pencil to mark where to cut the tiles and to trace a guideline for your first row of tiles.
- craft mat: Use a craft mat or chopping board to protect your surface when cutting the tiles.
- metal edge ruler: Make sure your ruler has a metal edge to avoid it getting cuts from your craft knife.
- tape measure: Tiling equals a lot of measuring. A tape measure is ideal to have for your project.
- level: Use a level or plain to mark out a guideline for your first row of tiles. If you get the start right, the rest of the tiles will follow in a straight line.
