Smart Tiles one year update and installing some more

[RVcircus]

Well, it's been a year since we've installed our Smart Tiles back splash and wanted to give an update. When Sandie came home with "Tile Stickers" I must say I was more than a little hesitant. My initial reaction went something like "There's no way I'm putting these fake a** tiles on the wall", but after reading up on them I decided to give them a shot. At about $10/sheet I was also put off by the price, but considering there's no need for thin set, grout, floats, sponges and a messy cleanup they all of a sudden start to look like a great value. Plus they won't chunk off the wall while we're bouncing the trailer down the road. Checkout the below video to see our Smart Tiles update and watch us install them in the bath:

Now having them installed for a year I must say that I'm a believer. If you know us, we're not exactly easy on anything we own and these Smart Tiles are holding up wonderfully so far. There's absolutely no signs of wear and the adhesive (which I wasn't all that confident in) shows no signs of quitting. I must say I'd recommend these tiles to anyone looking to improve the looks of their RV without breaking the bank or sweating too much.

Since I installed the original back splash I've been squirreling away some scraps to add to the bathroom at some point. Around the bathroom counter we have some shoddy plastic trim that's cracked and broken and I've wanted to do something to make it look nicer for a while. Now that our back splash has made it a year I guess it's about time to do the bathroom and finally throw the rest of my scraps away.

Ours is stored for weeks at a time. It has probably been over 100 at times and under 0 at other times so temperature swings don't seem to hurt them.

Installed ours 2 years ago and they look as good as new. Don't know how they would hold up in a seasonly stored RV as we full-time.

I'm quite impressed with how well they've held up. I'm not sure that I've ever installed something that has shown no sign of use after a year...especially with me and the kids around.

Could they be applied to/in the shower stall? Mine is hideous and I want to fix a couple of little areas where the vinyl paper tore leaving small spots of bare board that I'm sure isn't waterproof.

From the Smart Tiles website:

It is highly inadvisable to submerge peel and stick Smart Tiles in water. Therefore, it is not recommended to install them in the shower where they will be in direct contact with water.

However, since peel and stick Smart Tiles are resistant to the humidity of bathrooms, you can place them above the shower walls. At this height, the Smart Tiles will not be in direct and continuous contact with water. If you do install them above the shower wall, and the wall is painted or gypsum, make sure that the surface is completely dry and not at all damp or else the tiles will not remain stuck to the wall.

Thanks for checking it out! So far we love the new tiles and have no complaints. They make my wife happy and that's good for me in the long run.
