IN HOMENH2361 Sea Glass Peel & Stick Backsplash Tiles, Blue

I'd like to preface this review by saying 1) I've never used peel & stick tile before 2) I'm not a "DIY-er" / Martha Stewart type. I can barely draw a straight line with a ruler and that's only after concentrating *really* hard.That said, I read a lot of the existing reviews to get a sense of how successful people were with their projects, and gleaned a lot of very helpful tips, which I will also share (because I don't gatekeep).Overall, I found working with these tiles moderately easy. Moderately because finding your 'pattern' and the 'rhythm' for laying the tile down (especially around electric sockets) is a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out, everything 'snaps' into place, and it goes by quickly.There are 4- square tiles per package and it took 4 packages (16 'squares' total) to cover my backsplash. The tiles themselves are beautiful-- with a neat, clean, and classic aesthetic, and a slightly rubbery texture that gives it a 'glassy' gloss and easy to clean surface. There is a protective layer sheet on top that should be peeled off only after you've securely placed the tile in its final position. I got a little coffee splashed on it, and it wiped right off with a damp sponge.They are about 8 sheets of paper thick, and --based on another reviewer's tip--I highly recommend purchasing a tabletop paper cutter (either the guillotine handle or the Fiskars rotary blade version -- I used the latter) to help with the trimming process. This will make your life so much easier, especially if you're tackling a bigger surface area.My apartment was built in the 50's, so nothing was even about my wall, but the cutter came in clutch for cutting tiles to fit in the wonky-little spaces. I'd go mad if I had to do that by hand!Overall, I'm extremely pleased with these tiles, especially for the cost. I felt that it was a good value for a solo-afternoon project to add a little cheerful pop of color that really brightens up a "blah" backsplash.

I put this “tile” up in about 3 hours armed with only a utility knife, metal ruler and a step ladder FOUR YEARS AGO! To this day I love it. Everyone who’s ever seen it has thought it’s real. We call it “safety tile” because it’s kind of like those 3D puffy stickers. 😂 At the time it was only $11.42 a box and I bought 5. $125 for a fully tiled bathroom wall. Amazing. Even at the current $16/box it would be worth every penny.

The media could not be loaded. This is a wonderful product that sticks well, looks like real glass tile, and is beautiful, however you need to be careful because there are two different types with slightly different sizing! One has a thick coated white paper backing and the other has a foil/plasticky silver coating and at first glance they are exactly the same product- that is, until you go to install them next to each other because you are nearing the end of your project and you have to match up what you have. One is jus a tiny bit bigger than the other, making matching them up impossible. I made it work but it was tricky and I had a lot of tile waste. You can avoid this problem by ordering ALL of the product you need in ONE order. I didn’t and got two different types which made for a very difficult install. All in all it’s a wonderful product is you are aware of that one caveat. I used a gel peel stick tile edging piece for my two edges and everyone who sees the new backsplash thinks it’s real!

These tiles are beautiful and easy to install. The adhesion is extremely tacky. Although we did have a few tiles lightly peel but I think it's from handling that edge too much while installing them. The one thing I would recommend is to measure and draw leveled lines on your wall. We found that when installing our tile that one end of the counter was about 1/2 lower than the other end of our countertop. Visually it's not noticeable until you walk right up to it and you are looking for it. It's nothing a little caulk line can't fix. The only thing I wish was that this came with a finishing edge. I got online to look for a finishing edge in this color and they are difficult to find. I found it in white and am waiting for it to arrive. There is one picture of before we moved in the house of the kitchen with no appliances. I haven't found too much of a color variation but did find that where the tiles overlap they seem to be slightly larger in some of the packages. So the grout line is overlapping on the color of the next tile and you can notice it if you look close up. But like another reviewer said, I trimmed a few of those pieces. Overall we are extremely happy and have gotten a lot of compliments on our wall tile. We have an open concept living home and it's perfect for breaking up that long wall and making the kitchen appear as its own space. The tiles are very shiny and look like glass which is what we were looking for. I am going to order more tiles and bring it up the sidewall and above the cabinets as well. One complaint I do have is when I ordered the first batch of tiles they were $18. When I realized that I was keeping these tiles and had to order more they jumped up to $26 and change. Now I get online and they are down to $15.23. I don't think that's fair to the consumer. Why the fluctuating prices? I did see these tiles at Lowe's for $15.35 for 4 (1pkg.) Overall, we're very happy with the look, quality, and installation of these tiles.

Cute tiles but the spacing at the end of the tile is too big (the white area). It throws off the design so it randomly has wider white spacing between tiles. Easy to cut. A little difficult to reposition if it's not straight. The top of the tile is a little tacky which I wasn't expecting but they seem to clean fairly easily.
