Product Information
Full details
The Top Ceramics White Gloss Metro tile is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh kitchen or bathroom interiors with a clean, timeless aesthetic. Its standout benefit is the reflective high-gloss finish, which bounces light to make smaller rooms feel noticeably brighter and larger; however, potential users should note that the glossy surface requires regular wiping to maintain its streak-free shine, particularly in high-splatter zones like near the kitchen hob.

FAQs
Are these tiles suitable for floor use?
No, these are wall tiles and are not designed to withstand the foot traffic or weight requirements of flooring.
Can I use these in a shower enclosure?
Yes, their moisture-resistant properties make them perfect for shower walls, provided they are installed with water-resistant adhesive and properly grouted.
Do I need to seal the tiles?
The tiles themselves do not require sealing, but the grout lines should be sealed to prevent staining and moisture ingress.
How do I calculate how many boxes I need?
Measure your total wall area in square meters and divide by 0.84. Always add 10% extra to your total to cover cuts and potential breakage.
What type of grout should I use?
A standard cement-based wall tile grout is suitable. Always check the grout manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate color and finish.
Troubleshooting
Tiles are cracking during cutting
Ensure you are using a sharp, high-quality wet tile saw or a score-and-snap cutter specifically rated for ceramic tiles.
Grout appears dull or discolored shortly after installation
Ensure all excess grout is cleaned off the face of the tiles before it fully cures, and consider applying a grout sealer once the installation has dried for 48 hours.
Tiles are not sitting flush with each other
Check that the wall surface is level; use a leveling system or shims if the wall has undulations, and always use consistent spacers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and flat. Use a suitable wall tile adhesive compatible with ceramic substrates. When planning your layout, remember to account for a 10% wastage factor for cuts and breakages during the installation process. Use tile spacers to ensure consistent grout lines; a 2-3mm gap is recommended for a balanced aesthetic. For maintenance, keep the tiles looking pristine by using a non-abrasive household glass or multi-surface cleaner. Avoid using harsh scourers or steel wool, as these may scratch the glossy finish over time. For regular care, simply wipe down with warm soapy water and dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
