Peel and stick tile problem

[cerumen]

We have redone the majority of our bathroom floor but did not accurately calculate how much of these tiles we would need. The problem is the tile we are using were purchase many months ago (with good intentions) and have now been discontinued. We have found tiles that are the same pattern but slightly thinner. Do you think this will be a problem give the tile will be a single row up against a wall?

I might be able to help, but can you be more specific. What is the thickness of the new tile? What is the new tile made out of?

I'd suggest trying to compensate for the difference in thickness between the two groups of tiles.

We had some ceramic tiles "professionally" installed in our bathrooms and had to have some replaced because of corners not being flush. Small imperfections can be annoying after the job is done.

Good luck.

I agree with Taggart. We did our kitchen floor with the peel and stick tile, but were getting aggravated because the floor underneath wasn't even. We ended up doing it just to get it done and it wasn't the greatest floor. (Fortunately, we've moved since then.) But I'd imagine it might be worse in your bathroom, depending on where the unevenness would be, since you're barefoot in there more often.

Well, if this is something that can not be eradicated and you have to keep it. Just a suggestion, why not place something there in that area that would camouflage it. Such as a stand with plants around the base, or a piece of furnishing that would fit the decor of your bathroom. It is always a way to bring something good out of a difficult situation. You may possibly find out that it will work out for you and you would like it inspite of the mishap. Try a few things and see what works.

Alternating your old tiles with the new should give an acceptable illusion to the problem you describe or as suggested bathmats to cover much of the area.
