Troubleshooting
Tiles appear to have significant color differences between them.
This is a characteristic of the handcrafted design. Embrace the natural variation for an authentic look. Ensure tiles are mixed from different boxes during installation for a balanced appearance.
Adhesive is not bonding well to the tile.
Ensure the tile surface is clean and dry. Use the correct type of tile adhesive recommended for porcelain tiles and ensure proper trowel notching for good coverage.
Grout lines are uneven.
Ensure tile spacers are used consistently during installation. If grout lines are already applied, they may need to be carefully re-cut or filled.
Gloss finish appears streaky after cleaning.
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.
