Photo tiles vs canvas, frames and Mixtiles
Canvas is great value for one big statement photo, but every piece needs a nail and lining up several takes measuring. DIY frames are the cheapest on paper, but you still print, cut, measure and drill. Mixtiles is the big international brand, with more sizes and a magnetic system; it ships to South Africa, with prices shown after you upload. Storytiles is made locally, priced in rand upfront with free delivery, and adds planned gallery layouts and AI art sets.

Questions
What are photo tiles?
Your photos printed and mounted in light frames with a reusable adhesive back, so they stick to a smooth painted wall without nails and can be moved later.
How much do photo tiles cost in South Africa?
Storytiles sets start from a pair of tiles and go up to 20-tile walls, with free delivery. The live price for every layout is shown on the shop page before you start.
How long does delivery take?
We make your tiles in Cape Town within 2-3 business days, then delivery takes 3-5 business days anywhere in South Africa.
Will photo tiles damage my walls?
Not on a clean, smooth painted wall - they peel off without marks. Wait 7 days after painting and avoid steamy bathrooms.
Do they work on face brick or textured walls?
Adhesives grip best on smooth paint. On face brick or rough texture, test one tile first or ask us for advice before ordering.
