Adhesive floor tiles - Immediatile Patented Technology

Adhesive floor tiles

Can I fit Immediatile directly onto tiled floors and walls?

Yes, but the tiling must have been cleaned first to remove residues and contaminants. This is because pressure-sensitive adhesive only grips the surface if there are no contaminants between the adhesive agent and the substrate.

On top of what kind of surfaces can Immediatile be fitted?

Immediatile must be laid indoors on top of surfaces which are flat, clean, dry, and dust-free, and on which water does not pool. Immediatile can be installed on top of existing tiling, plasterboard, wallpaper, plywood panels, and concrete/cement

What kind of surfaces are not suitable for fitting Immediatile?

Immediatile cannot be fitted on oily surfaces or on plastic laminate materials. Surfaces painted with high-gloss or oil-based, or which are flaking may need to be sanded slightly.

Is a primer necessary?

A primer is needed for surfaces with absorbency problems, such as concrete, cement, plaster, and wood. When laying on top of tiled surfaces though, it is not necessary.

Can I use other brands of primer and grout?

We cannot provide a guarantee for other grouts and primers.
The use of other grouts and primers may affect the performance of ImmediaTile.

What happens if I remove the non-stick paper from the tiles before use?

The non-stick paper can be repositioned, however, we recommend you do not remove it until necessary as the adhesive bonds with most surfaces and could be hard to clean off.

What happens if I position the tile badly?

Gently positioned tiles can be removed and repositioned. Permanent grip is only achieved when pressure is applied. Badly positioned tiles can be removed using either a lever or a screwdriver for the smaller tiles or crowbar for larger sizes.

What should I do if adhesive sticks to something other than the intended substrate?

You can heat it up with a hairdryer in order to soften and remove it.

What should I do if I want to cut an Immediatile?

If you wish to use a wet-cutter, cut the tiles positioned upside down, with the paper facing upwards. The tiles must be dried immediately with a cloth. We recommend you do not remove the backing paper before cutting the tile. Use a cutter to cut the paper after cutting the tile.

Is there a guarantee?

Immediatile products all meet the requirements of EN 14411:2012 Annex L Group BIII and UNI EN 14411:2012 Annex G Group BIa.
