FAQs

Can these slabs be used around a swimming pool?

Yes, their low water absorption and textured surface make them suitable for poolside areas where water resistance is critical.

Do these tiles need to be sealed?

No, porcelain is inherently non-porous and does not require sealing to protect against stains or moisture.

What is the weight per pack?

Due to the 20mm thickness, these slabs are heavy. Please ensure your delivery site is accessible for heavy pallets.

Can they be installed on grass?

It is not recommended to lay them directly on soil or grass; a stable, prepared sub-base is required for long-term durability.

How do I calculate how many packs I need?

Measure your total area in square meters and divide by 3.24. We recommend adding 10% extra to account for cutting and wastage.

Are these tiles frost-proof?

Yes, their low porosity makes them highly resistant to freeze-thaw damage.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the tiles

Ensure you are using a high-quality diamond-tipped blade designed for porcelain and maintain a steady water flow to cool the blade.

Stubborn surface marks

Use a soft nylon brush with warm water and a non-abrasive household cleaner to lift dirt from the textured matte surface.

Uneven surface levels

Check the sub-base for consistency. Ensure the mortar bed or pedestal height is adjusted correctly to keep all slabs flush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to staining and scratching
  • Fade-resistant colors maintain appearance under direct sunlight
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor application
  • No periodic sealing required unlike natural stone
  • Heavy-duty 20mm thickness ensures structural integrity

Cons

  • Requires specialized diamond-tipped blades for precise cutting
  • Heavy material handling requires physical effort or mechanical assistance
  • Surface may feel cool to the touch in interior settings
  • High-density porcelain is more brittle than concrete if incorrectly installed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a level sub-base to prevent uneven tiles. For outdoor patio projects, it is recommended to use a high-quality mortar or a dedicated paving system. When cutting, always use a water-fed diamond saw to prevent dust inhalation and ensure a smooth, chip-free edge.

For ongoing care, the tiles only require simple cleaning with water and a mild, pH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid harsh acid-based cleaners which, while unlikely to damage the porcelain, can dull the finish over time. Periodically check for any buildup in grout lines to maintain a pristine aesthetic.
