This guide is for homeowners and designers seeking a durable and aesthetically pleasing tiling solution for both interior and exterior applications. The Kale Bodo tile offers the look of natural stone with the practicality of porcelain, providing a versatile finish for walls and floors. A key caveat is that natural variations exist within each pack, requiring careful planning during installation.

Yes, these porcelain tiles are suitable for use on shower walls due to their low porosity and water resistance. Ensure proper sealing of grout lines.
The matt stone effect finish generally provides good slip resistance. However, as with any hard flooring, caution should be exercised in wet conditions. Using an anti-slip grout can further enhance safety.
Each pack contains 2 tiles.
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information for Kale Bodo tiles, as warranty periods can vary.
It is recommended to mix tiles from different packs during installation to achieve a more uniform appearance, as natural variations will exist between batches.
Porcelain tiles themselves are generally non-porous and do not require sealing. However, it is recommended to seal the grout lines to prevent staining and moisture absorption.
The thickness of the tiles is typically around 10mm, but specific product details should be confirmed with the retailer.
Ensure the subfloor was perfectly level before tiling. Unevenness is usually due to adhesive application or an uneven subfloor, not the tile itself. Re-level subfloor or adjust adhesive application if possible.
Ensure proper handling during transport and installation. Use appropriate cutting tools and techniques. Minor chips can sometimes be concealed with colored grout or repair compound.
Use a high-quality, stain-resistant grout. Clean spills promptly. If discoloration occurs, consider using a grout cleaner specifically designed for your grout type.
Verify the subfloor is adequately strong and stable. Ensure the correct adhesive is used and fully covers the back of the tile (back-buttering may be necessary for large format tiles). Check for any impact or stress points.
Setup: Proper substrate preparation is crucial for optimal performance. Ensure the subfloor is level, clean, and dry. Use an appropriate tile adhesive recommended for porcelain tiles and large format applications. For outdoor installations, ensure adequate falls for drainage. Cutting large format tiles requires specialized tools such as a wet saw for precision.
Compatibility: Compatible with underfloor heating systems. Suitable for use with most standard tile grouts and sealants. Always check adhesive and grout manufacturer recommendations for porcelain tiles.
Care: Clean regularly with a soft cloth or sponge and warm water. For stubborn dirt, use a mild, pH-neutral tile cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acidic/alkaline cleaning agents, as these can damage the tile surface over time. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
