Product Information
Full details
The Top Ceramics Metro Wall Tile in light blue is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers seeking to add a classic, airy aesthetic to kitchen splashbacks or bathroom walls. These tiles excel at brightening smaller spaces due to their high-gloss finish, which reflects ambient light effectively; however, users should note that the high-gloss surface may show water spots or smudges more prominently than matte alternatives, requiring regular maintenance.

FAQs
Can I use these tiles on the floor?
No, these are specifically designed as wall tiles and are not rated for the foot traffic or pressure of flooring.
What is the best way to clean these glossy tiles?
Use a microfiber cloth and a mild detergent or specialized glass cleaner for a streak-free shine.
Are these tiles suitable for a shower area?
Yes, they are suitable for shower walls, provided that a waterproof adhesive and moisture-resistant grout are used.
Do I need to seal the tiles themselves?
No, the high-gloss glaze acts as a sealant; only the grout lines require sealing.
How much extra should I order for wastage?
A standard recommendation is to order 10% extra, or 15% if you are planning to use complex patterns like herringbone.
Troubleshooting
Tiles seem uneven or lipped after installation
Ensure the wall surface is perfectly flat before tiling and use a leveling system during the curing process.
Grout lines appearing discolored or dirty
Apply a high-quality grout sealer once the grout has fully cured to prevent moisture and dirt absorption.
Surface appears dull after cleaning
Check if your cleaner is too acidic or abrasive; switch to a gentle, non-abrasive glass or tile-specific spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and primed appropriately for tile adhesive.
- Installation: Use a high-quality tile adhesive suitable for ceramic wall tiles. Always use plastic spacers to maintain consistent grout lines.
- Cutting: Use a manual tile cutter for straight edges and a diamond-blade wet saw for more complex cuts around sockets or plumbing fixtures.
- Maintenance: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the high-gloss finish over time.
- Grouting: Apply a water-resistant grout to ensure longevity in wet areas. Wipe away excess grout immediately before it hardens to prevent surface scratching.
