Product Information
Full details
The Cheshire Floor Tile in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking the natural aesthetic of oak timber with the resilience of porcelain. Its key benefit is offering a warm, wood-like appearance suitable for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, while its one caveat is that unopened boxes must be returned within 30 days, and opened or part boxes cannot be accepted. This tile mimics traditional English oak with subtle mid-grey tones and fine grain detailing, available in a versatile 90 x 15 cm plank format for various installation styles. It's made from durable porcelain, compatible with underfloor heating, and suitable for both floor and wall applications.

How many tiles are in a box?
Each box contains 9 tiles.
What is the coverage area per box?
Each box covers 1.22 m².
What is the return policy for unopened boxes?
Unopened boxes can be returned within 30 days of delivery, provided they are in their original packaging and condition. Opened or part boxes cannot be returned.
Are these tiles suitable for DIY installation?
While DIY installation is possible, professional installation is recommended for optimal results, especially for underfloor heating compatibility and achieving precise patterns.
What is the typical lifespan of these tiles?
When properly installed and maintained, porcelain tiles can last for 20-30 years or more.
Troubleshooting
Tiles appear uneven after installation
This may be due to an uneven subfloor or improper adhesive application. Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared and adhesive is spread evenly. If the issue is minor, it may require professional re-leveling or adjustment of surrounding tiles.
Grout lines are inconsistent
Use tile spacers during installation to maintain uniform grout lines. Ensure spacers are removed before the adhesive fully cures. Uneven grout lines may need to be re-grouted for a cleaner finish.
Underfloor heating not working efficiently
Verify that the UFH system was installed with the correct substrate preparation and a flexible cement-based adhesive and grout, as recommended. Consult the UFH manufacturer's guidelines and a qualified installer.
Tiles chipped during cutting
Use a high-quality diamond blade tile cutter and ensure proper technique. Wet cutting can help reduce chipping. Always cut tiles away from the visible surface where possible.
