Installation Tips and Considerations

• Substrate Preparation: Ensure the surface is level, dry, and free of dust or contaminants. Porcelain tiles require an extremely flat substrate to avoid lippage.
• Adhesive Selection: Use a flexible cement-based adhesive suitable for porcelain tiles. A slow-set adhesive allows for repositioning during the laying process.
• Grout Joint: For rectified tiles, a minimum 2mm grout line is recommended to accommodate slight variations and prevent edge chipping.
• Tile Layout: To achieve a professional finish, plan your layout ahead of time, beginning at the center of the space or from the most visible focal wall/floor area.
• Cutting: Use a wet tile saw with a diamond blade for clean, accurate cuts, especially for visible edges.
• Underfloor Heating Compatibility: This tile is compatible with electric or wet underfloor heating systems when installed using appropriate methods.

Maintenance Guidance

• Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral tile cleaner or diluted detergent for regular cleaning. Avoid acidic or abrasive products.
• Sealing: Porcelain tiles do not require sealing, though you may consider sealing the grout lines to prevent staining in high-moisture areas.
