Wall tile calculator

  • Divide the area you want to cover in rectangular sections as pictured. Make all measurements in mm.
  • We recommend to add a minimum of 10% wastage to your order. Select your wastage from the drop down menu. As a rule of thumb larger tiles and a more geometric look (e.g. the hexagon tiles that overlaps both horizontally and vertically) require a higher waste percentage.
  • The calculator base the calculations on the tiles being applied in the direction as pictured of the single tile sheet. If you intend to position your tiles in the opposite direction, simply swap width with height.

Where to install

Important:If your installation surface is not listed below, please contact us for advice before you purchase.

Recommended surfaces

Self-adhesive tiles can be installed on smooth and undamaged surfaces like:

  • painted gib (after a 21-day curing time for fresh paint)
  • smooth ceramic tile
  • wall panel (acrylic)
  • wall linoleum
  • mirror
  • wallpaper

Not suitable surfaces

It is not recommended to install self-adhesive tiles on the following surfaces:

  • porous wood
  • relief ceramic tiles
  • textured wallpaper
  • unpainted gib
  • inside shower
  • floors
  • bench tops
  • ceilings
  • brick
  • stone

Tools Required

For a successful installation you will need:

  • grease remover (e.g. sugar soap)
  • cutting mat
  • metal edge ruler
  • tape measure
  • craft knife
  • pen
  • level

Save time and order from our carefully selected tools.

If you are installing the tiles behind a gas hob without a back control panel we strongly recommend to install our Smart Panel first. You may also want to complete your tiling project with a thin Smart Edge border.

If you would like to know more about these tiles we recommend that you read our FAQs and check out our installation tutorials.

Watch this short video for more details about the tiles and how to install them.

Application

This is how you install the self-adhesive tiles. Make sure that you follow all the instructions carefully:

  1. Cleaning: Wash the surface with a powerful grease-remover such as sugar soap. Make sure you allow enough time for the surface to dry properly.
  2. Guideline: using a level or chalk line, trace a guideline to ensure perfect alignment using a tile sheet to mark the height of your guideline on the lowest side of the bench top
  3. Measuring & Cutting: use a utility knife and a metal ruler to trim and shape your tiles around electrical outlets or other irregularities. Measure and mark your tiles and then lay it on a cutting mat to cut off the unwanted portion.
  4. Peel: Fold back half of the protective paper in the back without touching the adhesive portion with your fingers. We strongly recommend you wash your hands before you start the installation to ensure no dust particles or greasy residue are transferred to the adhesive.
  5. Align & Stick: Now align the adhesive portion with your guideline and apply a light pressure. This will allow you to validate the positioning of your tiles. Once you are satisfied with it's placement and alignment, you may remove the rest of the protective paper and apply a firm pressure across the entire surface.
  6. Overlapping: Once you've successfully installed the first sheet of tiles, you may continue the process making sure you overlap all the grout lines as you go. This will result in a continious and even layout of the entire project.

Maintenance

Smart Tiles® will stick on your walls for as long as you wish them to. That's our guarantee! We offer replacement of defective Smart Tiles following file investigation and depending on certain conditions. Smart Tiles® also guarantee the products for a period of thirty (30) days starting from the date of purchase and applies only to design or manufacture defects, excluding any hue or colour change and labour expenses. For the warranty to be valid, the manufacturer installation recommendations must be followed.

  • Wait a period of three weeks before affixing Smart Tiles on a freshly painted wall to allow the paint to penetrate and dry thoroughly.
  • The surface must be smooth and undamaged.
  • The surface must be clean and dry.
  • You should clean the surface with a degreaser such as sugar soap.
  • During installation, the ambient temperature must be at least 18°C and should not exceed 35°C.
  • Smart Tiles should not be exposed to direct steam, or be in direct contact with a heat source and should not be submerged in water (do not install in the shower).
  • To install behind a gas range without a protective rear panel, allow a height of 20 centimetres above the surface to prevent the tiles from coming in contact with open flame and we recommend installing our Smart Panel. If there is a wall to the right or left side of the range, Smart Tiles must be installed at least six centimetres away.
  • Keep a distance of at least six centimetres between an oven toaster grill and wall covered with Smart Tiles.
  • If you decide to remove the Smart Tiles once they have been firmly applied, they cannot be reused.
  • Smart Tiles are not designed to cover floors, countertops or work surfaces, or to serve as a trivet.
  • For maintenance, you should only use a mild non-abrasive product.

Avoid cleaning products containing bleach. Avoid food with strong colouring like turmeric and curry spices, grinded coffee, food colouring and tomato sauce as they may stain the surface

Basin backsplah

This product is a great option for a simple backsplash for a bathroom hand-wash basin. When choosing this product I was looking for a simple and quick solution. It went on fast and could be adjusted for alignment purposes then 48 hours later it was hard on the wall.
The only criticism I would have of it would be that they are a little thin and up close they look it. I have ordered a Smart edge to try and hide the thinness of it, but I had to return the one I ordered for a different colour which hasn't arrived yet.

Overall I am happy with the Subway tiles.

Sprucing up the shower

We had wall paper in our en suite, had started peeling around the shower so was looking for something economical and stylish to tidy this up. Super easy to fit to size and apply. Miscalculated size and am waiting on an extra pack to finish the edges. The edging finishes it off nicely. Very happy with product
