# How to Move a Refrigerator on a Newly Laid Peel and Stick Tile
Peel and stick tile are commonly used for their ease of application. Though the floor appears ready to use with the last tile placement, the tile adhesive isn't fully cured for several weeks. Dragging a refrigerator across the tiles can pull them up. You can prevent this by using furniture skids on the refrigerator feet. The skids, once in place, allow you to push the refrigerator along the top of the tiles without disturbing the joints.
Things You'll Need
