WHY CHINA?

You will be happy to know that our self-adhesives are superior in every way and made in the USA. Our self-adhesive is exported to China to make our DIP Self-Adhesive products. However, to get the best cost-effective high-quality production China is, without a doubt, the leader in this kind of manufacturing. 

WHAT IS PVCLV?

Thank you for asking about our product. PVC is the world's third-most widely produced plastic polymer. It’s used to manufacture anything from construction pipes, doors, windows, imitation leather, and flooring. LV stands for Luxury Vinyl, which uses digital image technology and embossing to recreate the look and feel of natural wood and stone in realistic ways. Ours PVCLV wall planks come with an exclusive Matte Finish that makes the depth of our colors and patterns super gorgeous! Our metallic tiles are an aluminum composite PVC. We meet all the requirements to sell in California, which has the strictest laws concerning environmental products. This includes Prop 65, which requires products to provide “clear and reasonable warnings” about a chemical’s ability to cause cancer, reproductive harm, or birth defects on packaging or labels. Which we are happy to report, there's nothing to report. none.

MORE EXPENSIVE THAN REAL WOOD?

Not all real wood cost the same. Real wood costs depend on wood styles, hardness, installation materials, finishing costs, and labor. When you compare us to high-quality beautiful, finished, installed wood planks, we look and feel not only just as real, we are a real deal in terms the value proposition we offer for your time and money!

• Placement - An excellent place to pre-plan the layout of your backsplash pattern is right on the counter in front of where you will place the backsplash. It will help you see the center and where the lines will fall quickly and evenly. 
• Cuts - Cutting can be done with scissors or an Exacto knife. You can also use tin snips or a Dremel if the material is thick. Create a template with a piece of paper, then use the cut lines to trim and fit tiles around outlets or windows. 
• Wall Condition. As long as a textured surface is reasonably level—meaning no big bumps, high peaks, and valleys, flagstones, or rock our DIP Self-Adhesive Wall Planks and Tile Backsplashes will stick beautifully onto existing mirror, brick, wallpaper, paneling, tile, acoustic ceiling tiles, orange peel and troweled textures like stucco. However, they will not work on crumbly surfaces like crumbly textured popcorn ceilings or unsealed, unpainted cement and cinder blocks. 
• Before installation - wash the surface and grout lines with a powerful grease remover and dry. After this, take your time as you stick the self-adhesive backsplash.
• Tips - Fill a small spray bottle (between 12-24 oz) with water and add 1-2 teaspoons of mild dish detergent. The mixture can be sprayed on the protective coating and directly on the adhesive back of your tiles. This gives you greater flexibility when planning or placing your tiles, so they end up exactly where you want them! You may use a waterproof caulk at the edges to seal the base and sides of your project if you wish. It's not required for everyday use. Use this along the bottom of the tiles, or the edges where they meet other surfaces/corners, not between the tiles themselves.
