peel and stick

No glue needed

Peel and stick describes adhesive products designed for easy application—you peel off a protective backing to expose the sticky surface, then press it into place.

The term appears as an adjective before nouns: peel and stick wallpaper, peel and stick tiles, peel and stick labels.

The format promises simple DIY installation without glue, grout, or professional help.
