FAQs

Are these tiles suitable for a shower enclosure?

Yes, the porcelain material is highly water-resistant and durable, making it suitable for shower enclosures when installed with appropriate waterproofing membranes and grout.

Can I use these tiles in a kitchen?

Absolutely. They are ideal for kitchen floors and backsplashes due to their durability, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning (with appropriate methods for the textured surface).

What is the best way to clean the textured surface?

Use warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. A soft brush or textured cleaning pad can help dislodge dirt from the relief areas. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

Porcelain tiles are inherently non-porous and generally do not require sealing. However, the grout lines may benefit from sealing to prevent staining.

Can these tiles be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, they are compatible with underfloor heating systems when installed correctly according to the heating system manufacturer's instructions.

What is the size of each tile?

Each tile measures 15x15cm, designed to create dynamic light and shadow effects.

Can I use these tiles on exterior walls?

Yes, these tiles are designed for both interior and exterior use, offering durability and weather resistance.

Troubleshooting

Uneven grout lines

Ensure consistent tile spacers are used during installation and that the substrate is perfectly level. If the issue persists after installation, it may require professional correction.

Tile chipping during installation

Handle tiles with care, especially at the edges. Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for any necessary cuts, and ensure the tile is well-supported during cutting.

Surface appears dull after cleaning

Ensure only pH-neutral cleaners are used. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to remove any residue. Stubborn residue might require a specific porcelain tile cleaner.

Dirt accumulation in textured areas

Use a soft brush or a textured cleaning pad with a mild detergent to gently dislodge dirt from the relief areas. Rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: These porcelain tiles are best installed by a professional tiler using appropriate tile adhesive and grout suitable for porcelain and the intended environment (indoor/outdoor). Ensure the substrate is level, clean, and dry before starting.

Compatibility: Suitable for walls and floors in all interior areas and exterior applications. Compatible with underfloor heating systems, provided the system is installed correctly according to manufacturer guidelines.

Care: Clean regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and warm water. For tougher dirt, use a mild, pH-neutral tile cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the textured surface. For grout cleaning, use a dedicated grout cleaner and a brush, rinsing thoroughly afterward. Due to the textured surface, a stiff-bristled brush may be needed to clean the relief areas effectively.
