Yes the tiles are heat resistant once applied. Allow sufficient time for the tiles to bond with the surface before use - generally 48 hours. They are not easily damaged by hot oil.
The tiles are not fire resistant! Peel-and-stick wall tiles should not be installed directly behind a gas cooktop without a protective back panel. For safety, our manufacturer recommends to use a back panel that is at least 600mm high and 300mm wider than the cooktop. Ensure there is a minimum of a 20cm gap between the tiles and any open flame.
Important: Avoid placing air fryers, toasters, or other high-heat appliances too close to the wall or directly in front of peel & stick tiles. These appliances can release intense heat from rear or side vents, which may cause discolouration, bubbling, or lifting of the tiles. We recommend allowing at least 10–15cm of space for ventilation between the appliance and the wall.
Please note that the tiles needs to be out of reach for direct steam (e.g. from the oven) as they are not steam resistant. Always refer to your stove top installation manual regarding correct safety clearance.
While our adhesive vinyl tiles are heat- and humidity-resistant, they are considered a cosmetic solution and do not substitute for the structural or fire safety requirements mandated by the building code.
