This prevents the use of traditional tile adhesives and grout which can be messy and difficult to install without professional help.. Though the amount of preinstalled adhesive is sufficient for proper installation, some homeowners prefer adding an extra layer of glue to ensure the peel and stick tiles remain on the walls for a very long time.
