Troubleshooting
Uneven color or texture when tiles arrive.
This is an intentional design feature mimicking handcrafted pottery. Minor variations are expected and contribute to the unique aesthetic. Inspect a larger area before installation to confirm if variations are within acceptable parameters.
Tiles chipping during cutting or handling.
Ensure you are using the correct tile cutting tools (e.g., a diamond blade wet saw) suitable for porcelain tiles. Handle tiles with care, supporting them fully during transport and cutting.
Gloss finish appears dull or streaky after cleaning.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or too much detergent. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry immediately to prevent streaks.
Grout lines appear stained or discolored.
Ensure grout lines were properly sealed after installation. Use appropriate grout cleaners and avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage the tile surface.
