Installation & Care
How to treat your tiles right — from day one, for decades.
Before Installation
- Store tiles in a dry, covered area, on pallets.
- Keep tiles face to face as packed. Never stack patterned face against back side.
- Adjust 1–2mm thickness variation with double adhesive method.
Installation
- Use white ACIII adhesive (interior or exterior).
- Install with tight joints (0–2mm max spacing).
- Avoid black rubber mallets; use white or padded tools.
- Clean mortar spills immediately with damp sponge + neutral soap.
Sealing & Grouting
- Wait 48h after install before sealing. Ensure tiles are clean & dry.
- Use short-nap or epoxy roller; apply sealant in one direction only.
- Apply 2 coats of sealant (8h apart).
- Grout after 1st coat. Clean excess grout immediately.
Aftercare
- Wait 72h before covering or placing furniture.
- Clean with water and neutral soap only. No bleach, acid, or alcohol.
- In high-traffic areas: use high-traffic wax monthly.
