Written By Interior PanelsHi Yvonne, thanks for your query. Yes, using our PU (polyurethane) adhesive you can clad these panels over most surfaces, including tiles. There are a few things to bear in mind though. If your kitchen walls are only partially tiles you'd be best removing the tiles first, as you want a completely flat area for the panels to clad to and obviously any non-tiled sections will be lower. If the tiles are laminated and particularly glossy you should consider sanding them down first to create a key for the adhesive. So long as the area is flat, dry, and has no loose surfaces, you shouldn't have any problems.
