Troubleshooting

Tiles appear uneven after installation

This is often due to an uneven subfloor or inconsistent adhesive application. Ensure the subfloor was properly prepared and that adhesive was spread evenly. Minor unevenness may be addressed with appropriate grout fill.

Matt finish seems dull or streaky after cleaning

This can be caused by using the wrong cleaning products. Switch to a pH-neutral tile cleaner and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid waxes or polishes.

Underfloor heating is not as effective

Verify that the correct type of adhesive and grout were used, and that the UFH system was installed according to manufacturer specifications. Ensure there are no air pockets beneath the tiles.

Chipping occurs during cutting

Ensure you are using a sharp diamond blade on your wet tile saw and that the tile is properly supported during the cut. Avoid excessive force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Compatibility:

  • Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is level, clean, dry, and structurally sound before installation.
  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a flexible, cement-based adhesive and grout suitable for porcelain tiles and underfloor heating systems.
  • Underfloor Heating (UFH): If installing with UFH, follow the UFH manufacturer's guidelines for substrate preparation and tile installation. Ensure correct adhesive and grout are used.
  • Cutting: Use a wet tile saw with a diamond blade for accurate cuts. Always wear safety glasses.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Daily Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt and debris. Wipe down with a damp cloth or mop using warm water.
  • Deeper Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a mild, neutral tile cleaner diluted in water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the matt finish.
  • Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Grout Maintenance: Grout lines may require periodic sealing to prevent staining, depending on the grout type used.
