While designed for fireplaces, they can be used in bathrooms if installed correctly and in areas not subject to constant direct water exposure. Ensure proper sealing and ventilation. Consult a professional installer for suitability in wet areas.

Troubleshooting

Tiles appear inconsistent in color

This can be due to the natural variation inherent in the concrete effect. Ensure tiles are sourced from the same batch. Mix tiles from multiple boxes during installation to achieve a balanced overall look.

Adhesive not bonding properly

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. Use the correct type of tile adhesive recommended for the tile material and application area. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

Surface appears dull after cleaning

Harsh cleaning chemicals may have been used. Always use mild detergents and a soft cloth. If the finish has been affected, consult a professional installer for advice on restoration.
