Product Information

Full details

The Ca’Pietra Linear White Gloss Metallic Effect Porcelain Wall Tile is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to add a contemporary, tactile element to their indoor spaces. Featuring a slim, kit-kat inspired aesthetic with a reactive crystalline glaze, this tile offers a sophisticated, modern look that elevates kitchen backsplashes and bathroom features alike. While its versatile design allows for application on curved surfaces, users should note that the high-gloss metallic finish requires careful cleaning to avoid water spots and streaks in moisture-heavy environments.

FAQs

Can I use these tiles in a wet room or shower?

Yes, they are suitable for indoor wet areas, provided they are installed with appropriate waterproof adhesive and properly sealed grout.

Are these tiles suitable for flooring?

No, these tiles are specifically designed for wall applications and are not rated for floor traffic.

How do I cut the tiles to fit corners?

Use a diamond-tipped tile saw for clean cuts. Because of the linear design, measure twice to ensure you cut along the grout lines for the most natural transition.

Do these tiles require sealing?

The tile surface itself is glazed and does not require sealing, but the grout lines should be sealed to prevent staining.

Are these tiles compatible with under-tile heating?

While generally compatible with standard wall-based heating, they are not designed for direct contact with heavy-duty electric floor heating mats.

What is the size of each individual tile piece?

The tiles feature a slim kit-kat format; please refer to the sheet dimensions of 295mm x 284mm for layout planning.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty keeping grout lines consistent between sheets

Use tile spacers specifically designed for mosaic sheets to ensure uniform spacing between the edge of one sheet and the start of the next.

Tiles peeling away from the mesh backing

Handle sheets with care during transport and installation; if a tile detaches, re-adhere it to the mesh using a small amount of silicone sealant before installing the sheet onto the wall.

Dull appearance after grouting

Ensure all grout haze is removed promptly with a damp sponge during the installation process to prevent residue from drying on the gloss surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile application on flat and curved surfaces
  • Sophisticated, high-end visual aesthetic with metallic sheen
  • Time-saving pre-assembled sheet format
  • Distinctive tactile finish

Cons

  • High-gloss surface may highlight streaks or water spots
  • Requires professional-grade adhesive for best results
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty flooring or external use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, use a high-quality flexible tile adhesive compatible with porcelain. Before installation, ensure the substrate is level, dry, and free of dust. Given the sheet-mounted design, use a fine-toothed trowel to apply adhesive, pressing the sheets firmly to ensure the grout lines remain consistent between individual mosaic sections. For care, avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the reactive glaze. Instead, clean with a soft microfiber cloth and a pH-neutral glass or ceramic cleaner. Keep the surface wiped down after exposure to steam or direct water to maintain the metallic clarity.
