What kind of grout should I use?

Use a grout specifically designed for ceramic tiles. The grout joint width and type (e.g., sanded or unsanded) will depend on the tile's size and your desired aesthetic.

How do I clean the tiles?

Regularly sweep or vacuum the tiles to remove loose dirt and debris. Clean with a mild detergent and water, and avoid abrasive cleaners.

Are these tiles suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, these tiles are compatible with underfloor heating systems. However, ensure that the heating system is installed correctly, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for tile installation.

Troubleshooting

Tile adhesive is not setting properly.

Ensure the adhesive is suitable for the tile and the surface. Check the expiration date of the adhesive. Make sure the environmental conditions are within the adhesive's specified range (temperature, humidity).

Use the correct grout for the tile and the application. Ensure the grout is mixed properly, and allow it to cure correctly. Check for any movement in the subfloor, which can cause cracking.
