Art3d 100-Pieces Peel and Stick Tile Kitchen Backsplash Metal Wall Tiles, Brushed Aluminium Subway

I have looked at many comparable items at Home Depot, Lowe's and all over the web. For the exact same thing you can easily pay $20 per square foot. This is by far a better bargain. It is almost half the cost and similar quality. This cut my cost and install time in more than half. I'm very particular and OCD. There are some subtle imperfections to a few tikes, but would not be noticeable to most people. I'm just picky. The tiles are very easy to cut. I suggest cutting them from the back so you do not damage the surface or face of the tile. If you have a sharp razor and score it a few times, the you simply bend it until it makes a pop, then you just bend the metal back and forth until It separates and it leaves a perfectly clean line. I even suggest taking a light grit sandpaper to dull the edge a little more, but it isn't sharp in the first place. A grinder worked well for some more intricate cuts. As for the other comment referring to them being slightly bowed. Some of them are ever so slightly bowed but it is very very simple to straighten out. As with any tile or finishing material, you should inspect it before you install. That's anything you do 101. Lol. Most of them are perfectly straight but as with anything else you will get some subtle variances. The adhesive on the back is very strong. As it states it is pressure-sensitive so the more you push on it the tighter the bond. I only had to remove a couple and I had to use a putty knife to get behind it and really work to get it off of the wall once it was secured. The overall installation and finished look is beautiful. I am a pretty Advanced DIY but any novice or beginner can conquer this job and make it look professional. I went with a standard layout for a simple clean look.

Love these tiles. I'm a novice DIYer and I'm just discovering that I can do an entire kitchen makeover just by sticking everything I need on! We decided to use these for a feature wall in our kitchen instead of as a splashback and am so far loving the look. The adhesive is very strong, as some other reviewers have mentioned. I took their advice and was very careful about placement but still made a few mistakes and the tiles are very very difficult to remove. An Exacto knife cuts through them easily. Just score on the steel side slowly with lots of cuts until you are through the steel and then you can be more aggressive to cut through the foam backing and adhesive. You'll want to sandpaper the cut edge for a smooth finish. Leave the protective plastic film on while you do this cos the tiles will scratch easily from the sanding, I ruined a few tiles this way. Took me about 3 hours to do about 6 SQ feet and I had to cut about 12 tiles. One thing to note, there will be a very slight gap/space between the tile edges, especially the corners which are rounded, even if you line them up perfectly since you're not using grout. I would suggest ordering 4 or 6 single tile samples to see how they look up close. We love the overall look and the way the natural light reflects on the layout pattern which changes through the day for us. But with close inspection, some may not like to non-grouted finish. This also makes it very unforgiving in terms of achieving perfect alighnment and a completely flush surface. I can see all of my many mistakes but plan to hide them with a strategically placed floating shelf and other kitchen items. That being said, it's an amazing improvement and totally modernizes our old kitchen without spending thousands.

I liked the ease of use. I disliked my flubs. Once up-pretty hard to get off again, especially the cut ones. But, worth the money and like the look.

I bought these to installing my trailer for the kitchen area of an overland trailer. They look really sharp. They're super sticky. Some of them have a little bit of a they don't seem to be perfect I should say but you can work with it. Some seem a little bit thicker or a tad bit wider but not really noticeable unless you're looking directly at it. I use my miter saw to cut them. It worked fine. They are stainless whether they're aluminum or stainless steel I'm not quite sure. But when you cut them with the saw you realize that they're real metal they're not fake. Just alter thin layer. Again I'm very pleased and it looked absolutely dynamite. They're easy to work with simple to install. I wish I could add pictures but Amazon doesn't do that anymore. But I'm very happy

Where my wall is flat and straight, the tiles went on fast and look great. Where my wall isn't, they stuck for a few minutes then one or more corners pulled up noticeably. The solution was to first place the tile on the wall with the backing still on, hold it with one finger and tap around the tile to look for uneven spots. If it doesn't lie flat, bend the tile by holding it at the edge of a counter and lightly tapping the unsupported edge and try again. Keep doing that until it lies flat. If all else fails, use PowerGrab caulking to hold it. Also, I found some very affordable, quality matching trim on home depot dot com. Search for "Alexandria Moulding Lustre". See my pictures for example - 3/4" version. Works great to hide uneven corners on an imperfect wall or trim an outside corner.

Pros: 1. Very easy to install, very easy to cut - just score the back and then crack it. Very clean. However, you will notice a cracked edge against a formed edge, so orient your cracks to be against the corners and not in the field. 2. Price - there's really nothing comparable. Cons: 1. The tiles come with a slight warp to them, and tend to bow out, no matter how you install them. If you're OCD, this will drive you insane. If you have under cabinet lighting, it will really highlight the bows. If there's a reason to not use this product - this is it. You will not have a 'flat' surface - you will have consecutive tiles with a slight bow to them. 2. The back cutting of the tile sheets (sheets of 8 tiles) is extremely sloppy - the cuts wander, don't always go through the foam. You'll need to check and cut the edges of every single tile to make sure extra foam won't interfere with your edge placement. 3. Doesn't stick very well to glossy paint (ie: the bows will be really bad) - be certain to sand your painted surface if it's semi-gloss or gloss. 4. If you have mud-finished corners, sand down to the tape to get your corner as close to 90 as possible - the slight warp-out from a standard gypsum mud corner will change the reflective orientation and highlight all of the edges (ie: it'll look bad if you don't do this). 5. If you mess up a placement, it will rip the paper right off the gypsum board. If you're careful, you can contain the tear and get another piece right in there without it looking out of place. 6. Shipping tends to knock these things around - check your tiles for bends/crumples/squishes. You can usually use them anyway for the cut pieces, but you don't want to put one of them in the field and have to replace it. The % of damaged wasn't too bad in the 3 boxes I used, even the one where they forgot to put in the corner protectors. PRO-TIP If the bow gets so bad you start seeing a ledge of the black backer-foam, grab a rubber mallet and beat it back into the wall. You won't dent or ding it if you're careful and hit with the flat of the mallet. Takes some of the bow out, and re-adheres the glue. At least for a little while.

It's been 3 years and the tiles still look great. Love this product. My home was built in the 1950's and the kitchen has that ugly wood paneling. Coverage is great, no extra glue needed and easy to cut with the right cutters.

I first ordered a box of these tiles on 8/18/17. They arrived in a plastic bag (provided by UPS) in a split box with some tiles in the box & some tiles loose. They were a mess!! I was promptly issued a return authorization by Amazon and $$ refund. I then immediately re-ordered another box of the tiles which arrived without damage. However, assuming since the box was in fine shape, that the tiles would be also, I didn't immediately inspect the tiles. Due to unforeseen circumstances I wasn't able to install the tiles until a couple of days ago. I did my online research on installation and assembled my tools. I then opened the box of tiles & started laying them out on a table in the pattern for the wall. I noticed some scuffs on the tiles and thought they were on the protective film covering the tiles. I partially peeled back some of the film and the scuffs & GOUGES were on the tiles......NOT the film!! Some of them looked like a screwdriver had been scraped against them. Fewer than half of the tiles in the box were usable. I really like the look of these tiles installed, but quality control is seriously lacking. Not sure of return policy after several months, but product is defective and Amazon still has product at same price. Will try......
