FAQs

Can I use these tiles on my shower floor?

No, these are ceramic wall tiles and are not rated for the load-bearing requirements or slip resistance needed for floor applications.

What is the best way to clean these tiles?

Use a damp microfiber cloth with a mild, pH-neutral household cleaner to preserve the satin pearl finish.

Can these be installed in a herringbone pattern?

Yes, the 65x260 mm elongated format is specifically designed to work well with herringbone, vertical, or horizontal layouts.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

As ceramic tiles with a glazed finish, they do not require surface sealing, though your grout lines may need a sealer depending on the grout type chosen.

Are these tiles suitable for outdoor use?

These tiles are manufactured for interior wall use only and should not be exposed to outdoor elements or freeze-thaw cycles.

Troubleshooting

Tiles are cracking during cutting

Ensure you are using a high-quality wet tile saw with a diamond blade suitable for ceramic materials.

Visible gaps in the tile pattern

Use consistent tile spacers and ensure your wall surface is perfectly plumb before beginning the installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated ocean blue color adds a refreshing aesthetic
  • Versatile design suitable for both vintage and modern interiors
  • Easy-to-clean surface ideal for high-splatter areas
  • Elongated shape allows for creative installation patterns

Cons

  • Requires professional tile cutting tools for complex patterns
  • Not intended for floor use due to ceramic wall-grade material
  • Textured surface may require more grout attention in high-moisture areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure your wall substrate is flat, clean, and primed before applying thin-set mortar. Given the 65x260 mm format, always plan your layout dry before applying adhesive to avoid awkward end cuts. We recommend using a high-quality grout that complements the ocean blue tones. For care, use a neutral pH cleaner and a soft cloth to maintain the satin finish; avoid abrasive pads or harsh acidic cleaners which can dull the pearl texture over time.
