Warranty and validity
- Warranty
- Not stated in the maker’s catalogue. Ask us before ordering and we will confirm it with the brand.
- Shelf life / validity
- Tiles have no shelf life: stored dry and flat in their cartons, they can be laid years later.
How to use it
- Check the application the maker lists (floor, wall or both) before buying: a tile sold for walls only is not made for foot traffic.
- Vitrified tiles (GVT, PGVT, double charge, full body) absorb very little water, which suits living rooms, bedrooms and busy commercial floors.
- For bathrooms, balconies, ramps and outdoor steps, choose a matt, rustic or anti-skid finish rather than a glossy one.
Installation
- Lay the tiles on a level, fully cured base; an uneven screed shows through, and more so with large tiles.
- Use a tile adhesive made for vitrified tiles rather than plain cement mortar, especially for large formats: low-absorption tiles bond poorly to mortar alone.
- Keep the joint width the maker recommends with spacers, and grout only after the adhesive has set.
- Buy some extra for cutting and breakage, from the same batch, so the shade matches across the room.
Care and maintenance
- Sweep or vacuum grit regularly; grit underfoot is what scratches a glazed surface.
- Clean with a pH-neutral floor cleaner. Acid and strong alkaline cleaners dull the glaze and eat into grout.
- Keep a few spare tiles from the same batch, so a cracked tile can be replaced without a visible mismatch.
Buying tips
- Tiles are sold by the carton: read the coverage per carton in the packing details, divide your floor area by it and round up.
- Order a whole room from one batch or shade code; two batches of the same design can differ slightly in tone.
- Large tiles mean fewer grout lines, but they need a flatter floor and more careful laying.
