FAQs
How long does installation take?
The mounting plate is available in two variants: 90×60 cm and 180×60 cm. It takes approximately 15-30 minutes to assemble a mounting plate. The duration of installation of tiles is individual. If tiles need to be cut, it takes about 2 minutes per tile, depending on whether you use a cutting box or a miter saw.
How much should I order?
Calculate your area. The small mounting plate is 0.54 m2 (5.8 square feet) and the large one is 1.08 m2 (11.6 square feet). For every square meter (or 10 square feet), you will need 100 10x10 tiles or 120 subway tiles.
Can I attach the backplate with double-sided tape?
You can do this, and double-sided tape can be purchased in our online store. The "weak part" of double-sided tape is not the tape itself, but rather the wall surface. We therefore recommend, when mounting on a painted wall, to also secure the mounting plate firmly in the corners with a staple gun.
How to cut tiles?
With a standard 10 cm exalto. If you need to cut a lot of tiles, you can also use a jigsaw, circular saw or miter saw.
Can the mounting plate be glued to regular tiles?
Yes, the mounting plate can be glued to glazed tiles, raw tiles, wood, profiled boards, painted, wallpapered, felted surfaces and raw walls. The only thing to check is that the support is load-bearing (not loose) and clean. The rougher/uneven the surface, the more glue you will use. Keep in mind that the result will not be better than the support.
What are tiles made of?
The tiles are made from ABS plastic (the same plastic used for LEGO bricks), and as ABS plastic can be recycled, a return system where you can get a deposit for your surplus tiles will eventually be put in place.
How durable are the colors?
In our testing, we didn't observe any color change over time, but theoretically it could happen. Additionally, slight color variations may occur from one production order to another.
What should I do if there is an electrical outlet on the wall?
You remove the electrical outlet, secure the wires, glue the mounting plate on it, then cut the hole. The tiles are cut to the required size before refitting the electrical outlet. A tip: you can attach the socket or switch to the built-in box or front box with switch screws. Otherwise, we recommend watching our video on YouTube. Please note that only a licensed electrician can remove/replace a socket and the socket must be installed outside the tiles.
Can I hang shelves or hooks on the wall with Click'n Tile afterwards?
Yes, of course, you just need to remember to pre-drill a small hole in the tile and the mounting plate. The screw should stick to the back wall.
What if the wall is covered with felt/plaster?
If the wall is felted or plastered, you must first apply a coat of plaster primer. The plaster primer guarantees optimal adhesion and makes the surface evenly absorbent.
What do you do if you want to see color?
Every image in our online store has an NCS code. The NCS code is the color standard in the color industry. If you enter the code at https://www.ncscolorguide.com , you can see the color in a broader perspective. But be careful, because calibrating your screen can change the way color is perceived.
Where can Click'n Tile be used?
Click'n Tile can be used anywhere, as long as it is not in a damp area (for example, in a shower niche), on the floor or outdoors.
How big is each tile and what is the total thickness (including mounting plate)?
Click'n Tile tiles are available in two variations: a 10×10 cm tile (approximately 3.9 inches × 3.9 inches) and the subway tile which measures 13.3×6.6 cm (approximately 5.2 inches × 2.6 inches). The thickness of the tile, including the mounting plate and adhesive, is approximately 8.2 mm (approximately 0.32 inch).
Can I combine 10x10 tiles and subway tile?
You can easily do it. In length, 3 subway tiles correspond to 4 tiles of 10×10, and in height, 5 subway tiles also correspond to 4 tiles of 10×10.
How to wash tiles?
With a regular universal cleaner. It is not recommended to use abrasive agents as they may polish the surface.
In the dishwasher, just make sure the temperature is below 42 degrees
