HELPFUL FACTS
PORCELAIN TILES

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE PORCELAIN TILES
In order to enhance its service life and efficiency, it is necessary to know the nature and specifiactions for a specific floor tile. This will vary according to the form of tile and the characteristics of its surface.
What cleaning methods should be used would be determined by extremely slip-resistant tiles versus matt tiles. For example, for more textured surfaces, specialised cleaning pads or rigid brooms can be needed.
Recommendations for cleaning and potential risks of misuse should be provided to post installation cleaning and maintenance workers. If incorrect chemicals or methods are used, please be aware that harm can happen to tiles.
In general, three levels of tile cleaning are present:
- Washing of installations – Inclusion of elimination of unnecessary adhesives and grout.
- Washing after contruction – Removal of all building dirt, like mortar, paint, etc.
- Regular maintenance – A regimen of cleaning that maintains the cleanliness and protection of the floor while retaining the dignity of the tiles.
BENEFITS OF LARGE FORMAT PORCELAIN TILES
To a large degree, the availability of the tile format depends on the template or theme you are looking for. For example, if we wish to build a rural or antique setting, leaning towards a smaller or more prominent porcelain tile would be more suitable.
The use of large format tiles, on the other hand, is the most recommended choice if you are looking for a contemporary and elegant setting.
The important benefits that large format porcelain tiles offer:
- Sense of Spaciousness: If you wish to visually enlarge an area, that is to say, that gives the impression of being larger than it really it is, leaning on large-scale porcelain tiles is the most fitting and suggested.
- Variety of Uses: Because of its scale, quality and good technological efficiency, it is possible to use porcelain tiles for designing bathrooms, kitchens, countertops, work tables, among many other ideas.
- Build a Continuity Effect: Reducing the grouping of the pieces causes a greater visual continuity, that can only be provided by large-format porcelain tiles.
