FAQs

Can these tiles be used on a kitchen backsplash?

Yes, these tiles are excellent for kitchen backsplashes due to their durable porcelain construction, easy-to-clean gloss finish, and aesthetic appeal.

Are these tiles suitable for a shower enclosure?

While designed for interior walls, they are generally suitable for shower enclosures if installed correctly on a waterproof substrate with appropriate grout and sealant. However, always consult with your installer.

What is the best way to clean the gloss finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry immediately with a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.

How many tiles are in this pack?

This pack contains 108 tiles.

What is the size of each tile?

Each tile measures 6cm x 24cm.

Can I use these tiles on the floor?

No, these tiles are specifically designed for interior wall applications only and are not suitable for floor use.

Does the Forest Green color have variation?

Yes, the tiles feature subtle tonal variations in Forest Green, inspired by traditional handcrafted pottery, giving each tile a unique appearance.

What is the thickness of the tiles?

The thickness of each tile is 10mm.

Troubleshooting

Tiles appear to have significant color differences between them.

This is a characteristic of the handcrafted design. Embrace the natural variation for an authentic look. Ensure tiles are mixed from different boxes during installation for a balanced appearance.

Adhesive is not bonding well to the tile.

Ensure the tile surface is clean and dry. Use the correct type of tile adhesive recommended for porcelain tiles and ensure proper trowel notching for good coverage.

Grout lines are uneven.

Ensure tile spacers are used consistently during installation. If grout lines are already applied, they may need to be carefully re-cut or filled.

Gloss finish appears streaky after cleaning.

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, level, and structurally sound. Use an appropriate tile adhesive suitable for porcelain wall tiles.
  2. Layout Planning: Plan your tile layout, including any pattern (brick bond, vertical stack, herringbone), before starting.
  3. Cutting: Use a wet saw with a diamond blade designed for porcelain tiles for precise cuts, especially around edges and fixtures.
  4. Adhesive Application: Apply adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the tile using a notched trowel.
  5. Installation: Press tiles firmly into the adhesive with a slight twisting motion. Use tile spacers to ensure consistent grout lines.
  6. Grouting: Once the adhesive has cured, remove spacers and grout the tiles using a flexible grout suitable for wall tiles. Wipe away excess grout promptly.

Compatibility:

  • Application: Strictly for interior wall use only.
  • Substrates: Compatible with cement board, properly prepared drywall, and waterproof backer boards.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
  • Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the gloss finish.
