These tiles are leathery foam, (helps with insulating and soundproofing) and are perfect for covering old paneling or just dressing up a boring wall. They can be cut easily with scissors. I highly suggest you paint the wall underneath with a similar color, because if you get one a little crooked youll see a sliver of wall peeking through. And they are very sticky, so no moving them around after theyre placed. They have breathed new life into my hideous wall!
