Self-adhesive floor tiles, also known as peel-and-stick tiles, offer a simple yet effective solution for transforming any space. These tiles come with a pre-applied adhesive backing, making installation a breeze. 

At CTM, we provide a wide range of top-quality self-adhesive floor tiles that combine convenience, durability, and aesthetic appeal. We also stock a wide range of laminate floor tiles, and vinyl floor tiles in self-adhesive options too.

Benefits of Self-Adhesive Floor Tiles

#1 - Easy Installation Process

One of the main advantages of self-adhesive floor tiles is their user-friendly installation. You don't need professional help or specialised tools—simply peel off the backing and stick the tile to a clean, smooth surface. This makes it an ideal DIY project for homeowners looking to upgrade their floors quickly and efficiently.

#2 - Cost-Effective Flooring Solution

Self-adhesive floor tiles are an affordable option for those on a budget. They provide a cost-effective way to achieve stylish and durable flooring without the high expenses associated with traditional tiles or professional installation.

#3 - Versatility in Design and Application

Available in a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures, self-adhesive tiles can mimic the look of natural stone, wood, or ceramic tiles. This versatility allows you to customise your floors to match any décor style. They are suitable for various applications, from kitchens and bathrooms to living rooms and bedrooms.

Types of Self-Adhesive Floor Tiles

  • Vinyl Floor Tiles: Vinyl self-adhesive tiles are known for their durability and water resistance, making them perfect for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. They are also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring long-lasting beauty and functionality.

  • Peel and Stick Carpet Tiles: For a softer, more comfortable underfoot feel, peel-and-stick carpet tiles are an excellent choice. These tiles are great for creating cozy spaces such as bedrooms or living areas. They offer the added benefit of easy replacement in case of stains or damage.

  • Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Tiles: Luxury Vinyl Plank tiles provide the high-end look of hardwood flooring without complicated installation and maintenance. LVP tiles are designed to be durable and water-resistant, offering a sophisticated aesthetic that is easy to install and maintain.

 

Installation Guide for Self-Adhesive Flooring

Step 1 - Preparing the Surface

Before installing self-adhesive tiles, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old flooring, debris, or dust. Fill in cracks and sand down any uneven areas to create a perfect base for the tiles.

Step 2 - Measuring and Cutting Tiles

Measure the area where you plan to install the tiles and calculate the number of tiles needed. Cut the tiles to fit around edges and corners using a utility knife. Make precise measurements to ensure a seamless fit.

Step 3 - Applying Tiles

Start from the centre of the room and work your way outward. Peel off the backing and press the tile firmly onto the surface. Use a roller or a flat object to smooth out any air bubbles and ensure full adhesion. For a seamless finish, align each tile carefully and avoid gaps.

Maintenance of Vinyl or Self-Adhesive Tiles

  • Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to remove dirt and debris. Clean the tiles with a damp mop and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that can damage the surface of the tiles.
  • Place mats at entryways to reduce dirt tracked onto the floor. Use furniture pads to prevent scratches and dents from heavy furniture. Regularly inspect the tiles for signs of wear and replace any damaged tiles promptly.
  •  
  • If tiles start to lift, apply a small amount of adhesive to the back and press them back into place. For stubborn stains, use a specialised vinyl cleaner to restore the tile's appearance.
