FAQs
Are these tiles suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, these porcelain tiles are water and stain-resistant, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas prone to moisture.
Can I install these tiles myself?
While DIY installation is possible, professional installation is recommended, especially if you are incorporating underfloor heating or aiming for complex patterns. This ensures optimal results and longevity.
How do I clean these tiles?
Regular cleaning involves sweeping or vacuuming, followed by wiping with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the format of the tiles?
The tiles come in a 90 x 15 cm plank format.
How many tiles are in a box?
Each box contains 9 tiles, covering an area of 1.22 m².
Can I return part of a box if I ordered too many?
No, opened or part boxes cannot be accepted for return. Tiles must remain factory-sealed. Please measure your space carefully before ordering.
Are these tiles slippery when wet?
The matt finish provides a degree of slip resistance. However, like most hard flooring, they can become slippery when wet. Proper care and prompt cleaning of spills are advised.
Troubleshooting
Tiles appear uneven after installation
This may indicate an uneven subfloor or incorrect tile setting. Check the substrate for levelness and ensure consistent adhesive coverage. Minor unevenness might be addressed with careful grouting, but significant issues may require re-tiling.
Grout lines look inconsistent
Ensure consistent spacing during installation using tile spacers. If the grout itself is uneven, it may need to be carefully scraped out and re-grouted. The quality of the grout and the application technique are crucial.
Surface appears dull or has faint marks
This could be residue from cleaning products or minor scuffs. Try cleaning with a mild, pH-neutral tile cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For scuffs, a non-abrasive scrubbing pad might be needed.
Underfloor heating is not working effectively
Ensure the correct UFH-compatible adhesive and substrate preparation were used during installation. Check the UFH system itself for faults. The tiles themselves should not impede UFH if installed correctly.
