    Default I'm SORRY to have to tell professional tilers that your days are numbered. Oh dear...

    Professional Tilers.

    Your days are numbered. Prepare to retrain as this career ending product is bought to the market.

    Still you had it good for a while.




    Prepare to move over to scissors and sticky transfers.

    You didnt think tiling was a lifetime career choice did you?

    Best pack up now.

    I saw this in Homebase in about 2004 and thought hmmmmmmmm, might work, might not. I think it's as mad as painting existing tiles, along with the grout joints. Craaazzzyyy stuff.

    Good find R. Where do we go on a course for this?

    i wouldn't be surprised if it's in the pipeline john,at the end of the day it's a bit like the old pine panelling,looks good for the first few days then really cheap and tacky after that!
    the minus points far outway the plus points,corners unsticking due to moisture,not waterproof,getting torn like wallpaper,staining behind cookers with splashes etc etc

    Just a re- marketed old product, my Mum had tiles on a roll in the seventies in the bathroom, I can remember her words to every visitor, "let me show you the way to the bathroom, just in case you need it, we have had it decorated in the latest fashion don't you know."
    When superglue came out my Dad was convinced it was divine intervention to save his sanity from the constant nagging words of my Mum "that tile on a roll is peeling up and the Murphys are due here at 7, get it fixed!"
