If you are covering a single back wall, measure the internal width and height of your enclosure and choose a tile that is slightly larger than required. This allows you to trim the panel for a clean, snug fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more complex builds, such as layered backgrounds, corners, or custom shapes, we recommend using the larger tiles and cutting them down as needed. Larger panels give you more freedom when shaping and planning your layout. In particularly large enclosures, you may need multiple panels to cover the full surface. In these cases, our multipacks offer a more practical option, while ensuring a consistent finish across the enclosure.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHow do I install Natural Cork Tiles?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNatural cork tiles are easy to install and will bond to most enclosure surfaces when used with a suitable sealant. We recommend using a waterproof sealant designed for high-humidity environments, like this Bond It HA6 available \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/corkbark.co.uk\/products\/bond-it-ha6-rtv-aquarium-vivarium-sealant\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eBefore fitting, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Test-fit the tile first, then trim if required. Apply the sealant evenly to the reverse side of the cork and press firmly into place. Allow adequate curing time before introducing substrate, décor, or animals. Once installed, the tiles provide a secure, long-lasting background suitable for both humid and arid setups.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Corkbark UK","offers":[{"title":"1 pc","offer_id":57441711456631,"sku":null,"price":57.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 pcs","offer_id":57441711489399,"sku":null,"price":109.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/6528\/3228\/files\/IMG-9383.png?v=1768255818","url":"https:\/\/corkbark.co.uk\/products\/natural-cork-tile-60-x-45-cm","provider":"Corkbark UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
