Yes. I’m a strong believer in the saying “You get what you pay for”. Thank you for the review. I’m looking at backsplash options for our kitchen renovation, your review is helpful.
I have been pondering to figure out which brand to use because I didn’t want to be bothered with the lifting so thank you for your honesty!
I love your honesty, calm nature and the effort you put in all your videos. ✨
Christina, thanks so much for doing this video. I have been wanted to put up a peel and stick backsplash but, I was hesitant because usually they don't work . So it's true, you get what you pay for. I totally guessed wrong. I thought for sure you'd shock us all and say the dollar store tile. Again, thanks.
We have Smart Tiles as our kitchen backsplash and years later they are still looking great. People think they are glass!! We are redoing out countertop and will definitely get Smart Tiles again. Quite a savings from glass type backsplash. 👍
Honestly, I was impressed with all of them. Of course depending on the situation, one would be more appropriate than another. But, if someone has an ugly wall and no money, the Dollar Tree tiles would be a huge improvement! It's a super cheap way to cover sins, add texture and give a clean look.
I agree! I am updating my apartment and I wanted something cheaper because I don’t know how long I’ll be there. As well, the dollar tree tiles seem like the easiest to remove
@@montanaelise23 How fun! I wish you could share an "after" pic! But, no can do on TH-cam. Hope it works out. 🙂
Sins😂
Thank you so much for this video, your timing is perfect! I'm getting my tiny rental ready for the upcoming holidays, and Winter, by painting EVERYTHING brilliant white. But I couldn't decide one which peel'n stick tile to choose. Now I know, I just need to choose the pattern. Stay safe, and I'll see you in the next video!🤗
As a newbie Peel and stick remodeler, very informative! Thank you
Ty so much for an honest opinion I’m low income n so dang tired of wasting what lil money I hav bc some influencer wants to lie to me about an item they r reviewing jus so they can make $$ off of a good review n so u will use their affiliate link!!!!!!
Same here. I only have a handful of influencers I trust, but I still read reviews on products and check the return policy
Thanks for watching! I think it's extremely important to share honest opinions on products.
@@thediymommy Any updates on how that Amazon tile has held up?
JUDGE FOR YR SELF THE DOLLAR TREE ONES ARE JUST AWFUL
AND AWFUL TO LOOK AT
I
WOULD NEVER PUT THEM UP ON MY WALL...ILL SPEND MORE FOR BETTER QUALITY 👏👍ONES THAT LOOK GOOD
@@thediymommy
How did the Amazon Tiles work out for you...?
Thanks 😊 so much for this video. I am adding backsplash in my kitchen and I really learned a lot today!!
I have just begun watching this but hands down Roomates from Amazon!!!!!! I did the mini subway tile white with grey grout! Very forgiving on horrible rental walls. 1 year no bubbling tons of repositioning got the info from another youtuber in Canada!
Great to know; thank you!
Hi Amy is the brand roommates ? Looking to buy on amazon , except looking for the Moroccan style for my boho caravan makeover 🥰 Thanks
Great comparison! Thank you so much for posting this.
I currently Bought some from wall pops so appreciate this video. Thank you.
I've used several brands in different homes, rooms, etc and I've had the same experience. 6 years after installing, my Smart Tiles still looked as good as when I put them up. Others I've used, not so much. I have a white hexagon ones in my kitchen currently from Amazon (slightly bigger than the ones you put up), and, although they look great, they started coming up in spots within several months of putting them up.
I’ve used several peel and stick products. I will always pay extra for the Smart Tiles. It is still holding in my Master bath. WalMart version has failed in bathroom 2!!
was thinking about doing bathroom accent... good to know! thanks
You have to know what to use that will stick any tile for centuries.
@@patrickarchuleta9594 what should we use?
lol
You sure did a great job on all projects. Once again, quality counts.
Thank you Christina, that was very informative and helpful. 💖👋🇿🇦
I’m so glad you did this video. Thank you.
I discovered you today n am binge watching your videos... love them
I bought my white subway tile from Rona. Expensive brand name. Package of 4 (12x12) for over $40.00. Put some tiles on months ago and noticed them peeling away and every so often I have to push the lifting. I applied the balance of the wall last week. For the older parts lifting, I added some glue to areas to stop the titles that lifting. Glad I won't be here in 10 years if pick and stick tiles need replacing. But they are beautiful over my counter and behind the stove looks great. Totally added beauty to my home.
Thanks for your honesty 🙂
I have tic toc subway tiles with commercial adhesive in my camper. They were more $ but after about 18 months they are still perfect. Makes my kitchen look and feel like a kitchen in my small space. I also have the marble look contact paper you recommended for a table top we made. It is also still perfect.
That's great!
I figured you get what you pay for when it comes to peel and stick. Thank you for this video and for always being honest in your videos.
I’ve been subscribed for a while but don’t comment often. Now that I know how much it helps your channel I’ll leave more comments.
Thanks; I appreciate it!
So happy I found you because Ive cleaned my wall thoroughly now waiting for them to dry then I'm putting up Tic Toc subway peel and stick! I'll post before and after
The dollar one looks so nice!
Looks great. Quick question..could I peel and stick tile over existing real tile? Appreciate your answer. Thanks much.
Sometimes its just best to spend the extra dollars for something that lasts longer. You can always cut back on other things to make up the difference.
Very useful info,thanks so much😁
Muito obrigada 🇧🇷😁
Thank you so much for your review of the peel and stick tiles. I will check out smart tiles. I just saw this video come up in my suggested videos.
I really appreciate your honesty it helped me a great deal 🌻 and thanks for sharing
Thank you Christina... Smart Tile it is!!!
Hi, It also depends on the quality of tiles that you're buying from amazon, I bought my tiles there, and it looks amazing!
do you remember what brand you got from amazon? I'm browsing 😃
Thank you for this info. We are getting ready to install a peel and stick tile in a home we are updating to sell. Hopefully it will turn out.
Why would u put something temporary up for someone who is paying a lot for something long term. I hope u let them know their tiles are peel and stick
This was very helpful. I didn’t even know dollar stores carried tiles. I was quite impressed with how your Smarttiles held up and went to their website. Unfortunately all they have is black, white and gray. I need color! Do you have any other recommendations?
Great job, I live in Michigan, not quite as cold!! Lol Gonna try, thank you!
I used the Amazon pile and stick tile. I had issues of it not sticking and it was more difficult to put up than I thought. I used it in my bathroom, but it is pretty and I’ve had a lot of nice comments. I just use stick glue. It’s been up for about three years now, so I think I have glued my last edge.
Lyn, what kind of glue did you use?
Probably a glue stick
Good to know. Will check on other "name brands" here.
Great info, thanks! One thing no one ever addresses is what you do to cap off the tile at the ends of each row. Do you put some type of trim there to finish off the edges?
Some manufacturers have matching trim, or you can use a plastic or metal trim from the hardware store.
I guessed Amazon, so glad to know there is a difference!
Smart tiles! I’ll have to remember that.
Thanks sooo much for this video!! Question: will these smart tiles work well in a bathroom with lots of moisture? I will be doing a renter-friendly reno when i move to canada and i am in search of good quality tiles for walls and floors!
I think they'd be fine by a sink, but not around a tub or shower.
Omf. No. No. No. NO!
Thank you! Very nice explanations.
Its really good to know, I ordered some from Amazon and never installed them becuase somebody mentioned it will always peel off. So I bought very similar subway tiles ( I do like big one but its over my budget so this, small tiles still beautiful and affordable from Home depot)
I just bought dollar tree peel and stick today, it looks great! I hope it works for a while
What about adding ur own adhesive to the cheaper ones, just a thought
The glue gets very tight as time passes and very difficult to remove later. After leaning my lesson once, I only peel and stick the corners and not the whole sheet.
@@carolevans5285 I agree. I use an adjustable spray adhesive that you can now find in hardware stores. Used to only find in art supply stores.
Any updates on the amazon tile during winter?
I wonder if you take a hair dryer and activate the glue again on the places that are popping up if that might solve that problem?? I have had to do that with floor tiles.
Thanks for the rating!
I’m consider peel and stick tiles for a backsplash in a small camper that I’m re-doing but I’m concerned about the heat and humidity since it will be left unattended during the week and I’m afraid the heat might play havoc on it. Any chance anyone has had this experience and what success or failure have you had? Thanks
I saw a smart tiles at home depot. Is it the same one? Or do they only sale it online on their website? Thank you.
Where did you get the first subway tile? Where can I buy them?
I would have thought the most expensive. Adhesive is probably stronger.
Do you have a spray product to recommend to spray my glass panels on my balcony for more privacy ? I used a spray in a bathroom window once but inside. I wish to do the same with the right product outside now. I also live in Canada (Québec) with very cold temperatures. Thanks
I was watching this thinking... ugh... but no one knows cold.... then you said ALBERTA CANADA!!!! I'm in EDMONTON!!! Thank you so much xo
Oh, I KNOW cold! HAHA!
Does it ruin the camper walls when you remove it, say you want to change the whole thing out?
Is the dollar store one still sticking well in areas further away from the stove? Could it be being affected by heat and steam etc from regular cooking on the stove?
Hi can you use peel and stick tiles on a bathroom wall that has been previously decorated with ‘wet wall’ material?
Hi Christina....thanks for the update on your tiles...It's snowing up north in Ontario as of yesterday, it's not here yet in North Bay but it won't be long...ugh....Take care....stay safe...
Maybe I missed it . What was the verdict on t he tile we are waiting for?
I picked up Dollarama metallic tiles for my boler trailer. They are thicker than the regular peel and stick, it will be a permanent fix. Do you think I will need additional adhesive for them to stay stuck ? I picked the Smart Tile as probably holding up the best. thank you.
Can I stick these to existing tile backsplash tile in my kitchen?
What peel and stick dd you use for cabinet renovation? Do you mean instead of painting?
Hi Christina, can you place the Smart tiles right over top of existing old tiles? Thanks for the video.
You usually can!
Thank you for the update on the tiles!!!
I enjoy watching your videos ;) planning to paint my camper kitchen cabinets and got a question.. was your kitchen (in the latest camper u renovated) part wood and part vinyl covered? And you sanded it and used the behr WATER BASED primer and it worked really great???
Just worried about the vinyl part..
Yes, I used the primer on everything!
@@thediymommy thank you so much!
Can you please tell me if I can stick this over very old dark cranberry wallpaper ? I am using a light tile
I'm in Alberta Canada too. So happy to find your channel
Thanku for the great information..I said the expensive one was the best cause u pay for what u get....tyfs♡
Good Guess!
Can you put peel and stick over existing tile and grout?
Oh my gosh! I live in the same province as you. I freakin love your work. I watch your videos and never do any of it because I'm so not crafty 🤦♀️ I'll have to call you one day for help haha
I love your kitchen curtains! Where did you buy those?
Can I please ask the link for adhesive tiles as am about to do behind my caravan sink with Moroccan style but am unsure of a good supplier / link to buy them from preferably posting to Australia..love your videos ..🥰🥰 from Melbourne
Thanks for watching! All products are linked in the description below the video.
Bad thing that not all of dollar store. worth even a dólar, I heard that is not the best to buy there, for example shampoo, microfiber towels, and so on, just cleaning products are good. Thanks for the honesty Kristina😊🤗
Good review, thanks
Thank you!
They all look great but the quality difference seems to be in adhesive. I wonder if any product exists that would enhance the poorer quality tiles that would be reasonably priced and easy to apply? Otherwise buying the more expensive tiles may be the way to go. Great info!!
I'm not too sure, but if I find anything I'll share!
Would you use this product on counter tops?
can we use these stick tiles for bathroom too ??
How about adding extra adhesive before installing? Perhaps it would devert the lifting.
Hi, thanks for the comparison. I've heard the dollar store peel n stick doesn't remove cleanly. Does the Snart Tile remove cleanly? I am in a rental, so that's important.
Hi there, Enjoy this vid. I also have some dollar store tile that I put on my wall. And like you, it's starting to lift and so I'm going to replace it with a better brand.
How did it hold up being by the stove/range??? Whooo Canada I hope Ontario doesn’t get snow this week
I've had it by my camper's stoves and it's fine so far!
Just wondering if you can use peel and stick tiles over your existing ceramic tiles?
I think you can on most!
Peel and stick wall can only be used to what surface?
Are you installing this over tiles??? Ty
YHANK YOU!!! 🙏🏾
Is this easily removable after a year ? I don't want mess up a rental property.
Have you used some from Hobby Lobby? I like the way it looks what they have there but no idea how it would hold up
ThNk you 4 sharing
I’m late to the video and less than a minute in lol but you are stunning!!
Great information. 👍❤️🇨🇦
Can you put these over existing ceramic tiles
could these tiles be used on a counter top?
Would the Command brand poster tape work for the lifting tiles?
Maybe? Worth a try!
This was very informative! Appreciate you doing this compare.
how many packs were needed for the amazon one
I looooove that it's CAD budget
I have some dollar store tile in our new to us travel trailer that was installed by the previous owners that I want to replace. Is hard to remove it? Anything I need to do to make it easier or not wreck anything?
I would guess just like wallpaper, steaming helps to loosen the adhesive and cause less damage.
I’m wondering do you think smart tiles would work on light textured walls?
I've never tried but I would sand first :)
Would adding caulk make the tile stick better or would that mess up the adhesive?
I'm not sure; I've never tried!
I’ve tried peel & stick in my rental kitchen and the first humid summer and boiling food in the area cause peeling and curling after 8 months 😳😫
Hey fellow Albertan! I'm curious as too how it will come off? Will it rip the layer below it or is there a product you recommend to remove said peel & stick tiles?
You should just be able to gently peel it off. It's going to depend what's underneath, but if it's well cured paint, there shouldn't be much damage (if any).
Hi! We removed some stick on tiles from our powder room that the previous owner installed and they did peel off paint and damage the dry wall paper. We had to patch it before we could paint. I supposed it would depend on the brand of sticky tiles as well.
In the camper about how many title pieces did you use to complete that look?
I actually have two campers in this video but it was one per square foot :)
