FAQs

What is the primary benefit of choosing porcelain tile over real wood?

Is this product a full tile or a sample?

This product is a sample tile, intended for you to evaluate its appearance and suitability for your project before purchasing full quantities.

Can this tile be used in a bathroom?

Yes, its porcelain material makes it highly resistant to moisture, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms and other wet areas.

How do I clean and maintain the tile?

Regular sweeping or vacuuming followed by damp mopping with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is professional installation recommended?

What does 'Matt' finish mean?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tile sample is intended for evaluation. For installation, ensure your subfloor is clean, level, and sound. Proper underlayment and adhesive are crucial for porcelain tiles. It is recommended to use a professional tile installer for optimal results. Ensure all tiles are laid with consistent spacing using appropriate spacers.
