Dollarama Stick Tile Review

We bought a “fixer-upper” 3 years ago. I love the house, as it has a huge backyard, backs onto a park, and has a lot of potential. Well, as it turns out, it was a bit more of a fixer-upper than anticipated. We first needed new windows and a new roof before we could even think about tackling the cosmetic changes we wanted.

So, we have had to be creative. A lot of the flooring in the house was in disrepair. And a lot was downright gross! So, given that we would be renovating, I did not want to replace the flooring with anything too expensive as it would just be removed in a year or two (or three, or ten… ahem).

The solution? Dollarama stick tiles!

I first put the flooring down in the kitchen, as I knew that the kitchen renovation was going to be done first. I was very impressed. It held up beautifully and was very simple to install. No fancy tools, simply a pair of scissors (that will get very sticky and likely ruined), a ruler, and a pencil.

I then tackled our very, very yucky bathroom floor. I wasn’t sure how slippery the tiles would be, or how well the glue would hold up with the humidity and moisture, but guess what? Not one single problem - and it has been a full year!

My latest project was the basement laundry room. This room, truthfully, I was just going to leave be. It has cement flooring and will remain unfinished. But it was just so icky, so I knew I had to do something.

This tile was only 3/$1 at Dollarama. I used 26 tiles in our laundry toom, so my cost was only $9 to do the entire floor!

I wondered how these stick tiles would hold up around the drain and thought I’d give them a try. Now, I know the floor is supposed to be level, so my plan was to lay down the tiles the best I could and then super glue any parts that wouldn’t stay down.

I don’t think you will see this plan in very many home repair books, but for my purpose - it worked! This picture is from when the flooring is done, but before the super glue:

The Dollarama stick tile is so easy to use. I started with the drain and easily cut out a hole in the middle of a tile simply by tracing the drain with a pencil onto the tile and cutting with scissors. The tiles stuck very well to the bare cement.

I would highly recommend considering these tiles for many rooms. Home repair and renovation can be very costly, but with a little work, and smart purchases, you can save a bundle.

Have you ever used these Dollarama tiles? What did you think of them?
