Troubleshooting
Tiles do not interlock securely
Ensure the edges are clean and free of debris. Verify that the surface is perfectly level, as any unevenness can prevent a proper lock.
Uneven surface after installation
The underlying surface may not be level. Remove the tiles and use leveling compound or sand to create a flat base before re-installing.
Surface feels slippery when wet
While designed to be slip-resistant, very wet or soapy conditions can reduce grip. Clean the tiles regularly and use caution. Consider a mild, non-slip additive if this is a persistent concern.
Tiles appear to fade over time
While durable, prolonged direct sun exposure can lead to fading. Consider repositioning furniture to avoid constant shading of one area, or protect the tiles during peak sun hours if fading is a concern.
