Wash the tiles with a cloth and soap and water, and be sure to dry them completely. If there are cracks or damaged areas, fill them with tile putty. Also fill the joints with putty and let them dry for 24 hours.

What should be taken into account when choosing wallpaper?
Choose a wallpaper that is resistant to moisture and heat, especially if you are going to place it in the bathroom or kitchen. The wallpaper we sell at ALF&Mabi meets these characteristics. Opt for a design that complements the existing decor of the room and reflects your personal style. Make sure to buy enough wallpaper to cover the entire area of the tiles. On our website, you have a roll calculator available that calculates the number of rolls you need depending on the measurements you enter for your wall.
How do you have to measure and cut the wallpaper?
Measure the height and width of the tiles you want to cover with wallpaper. Add an additional margin of 2-3 centimeters to the measurements to have enough paper. Mark these dimensions on the wallpaper (gently) and use a ruler and a cutter to cut it according to the precise measurements.
Is it difficult to apply wallpaper on tiles? How is it applied?
Use a glue for wallpaper that is suitable for humid areas like the glue Bartoline. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to prepare the glue and apply it evenly to the back of the wallpaper. Make sure to completely cover the paper with the glue, but avoid applying too much to prevent wrinkles.
Start by placing the wallpaper in a top corner of the tiles and carefully align the edges. Use a roller to gently press the wallpaper against the tiles and eliminate any air bubbles. Continue placing the wallpaper on the rest of the tiles, making sure that the patterns or designs fit perfectly, that is, pay special attention to the placement of the paper especially if the paper has match so that the designs match.
Once you have placed all the wallpaper, smooth the paper with a wallpaper brush. Cut off the excess with a cutter and then, clean the excess glue with a damp cloth. To ensure that the paper is well adhered, roll the roller over the entire surface again.
