Installation Tips
Arrange all tiles on a flat surface before installation to ensure design alignment. Use white thin set mortar and maintain 3–4 mm grout joints. Choose non sanded grout to protect glazed edges, seal cement grout after curing, and caulk perimeter seams for a clean, durable finish.
Maintenance
Wipe gently with a soft sponge and neutral cleaner. Avoid acids, bleach, or abrasive pads. Reseal grout annually and check for stability to preserve color and shine over time.
