Questions
What tiles are best for a wet area?
Choose slip-resistant floor tiles for wet areas. Avoid glossy or smooth finishes that can become hazardous when wet.
How do I calculate tile quantities?
Measure your space and add 8-15% for wastage. Contact us for specific advice on tile quantities for your project.
Should I seal my grout?
Sealing grout makes it easier to clean and maintain. We recommend this for long-term durability.
What are tile faces?
Tile faces refer to the number of unique patterns printed on tiles. More faces create natural variation, especially in stone-look designs.
What is a tile rating?
Tile ratings (PEI, V-rating, slip resistance) indicate suitability for specific applications. Consult our team for guidance on ratings.
What is shade variation?
Shade variation describes color and texture differences between tiles. Higher variation creates a natural, organic appearance in installations.
