Tin tiles................

[Andy Allen]

Got a customer that wants these tin tiles in her kitchen....

Has anyone fitted this kind of tile..?
If so how do you cut them, what adhesive did you use, I assume you don't grout them..?
Cheers...

I'm pretty certain that @ISOMAT UK AK22 will stick them as will Kerakoll Bio Gel. Haven't had the pleasure of fixing any of those tiles myself though

Are they actually made of tin Andy, or an alloy??

The first link is to a uk company who supply them Andy, they should be able to help.

It seems it’s very much an American thing, the second link is to a tutorial site
I’m sure you’ll find it enlightening

Basically lay them out dry on the floor, and pre cut with tin snips to the areas measurements, and then stick em. Various methods suggested

But at worse I’d say prime backs with a grit primer, and stick with an S2. Like sticking to metal.
