FAQs
Can these tiles be used on the floor?
The Acantha X1 Tile is primarily designed for wall applications and as a stove surround. It is not recommended for high-traffic floor areas due to potential wear and chipping.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality tile adhesive recommended for wall tiles and suitable for the specific substrate you are tiling onto. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the white marble effect?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner diluted in water. Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaning products.
Are these tiles heat resistant?
These tiles are designed to be used around electric or bio ethanol stoves, which produce moderate heat. They are not intended for direct contact with open flames or extremely high temperatures.
What is the difference between this and real marble?
The Acantha X1 Tile offers a marble effect, providing a similar aesthetic with potentially lower maintenance and cost compared to natural marble. It is a ceramic or porcelain tile with a printed design.
Can I cut these tiles to fit my space?
Yes, these tiles can be cut using a suitable tile cutter. Ensure you wear safety glasses and gloves when cutting.
