Do tiles fade over time?

No. They are colourfast.

Is there anything to stop grout getting mould?

Most grouts come with a fungicide incorporated in the mix. However these break down over time. We recommend grout is sealed after laying to prolong the protection. We recommend Construction Chemical’s grouts. 

What size joins are used for sizes of tiles?

Typically 1-5mm. Many tiles today are rectified meaning they are cut to exactly the same size allowing a smaller grout joint.

What size trowel is used for size of tiles?

Typically 6-8mm for walls and 10-12mm for floors.

What glue is used for wall and floor?

Many glues are able to be used on the floor and wall, dependant on the substrate. 

There is a haze on my tiles. How do I get it off?

The haze is usually grout residue left on the tile after grouting. It can be removed with a nylon pad but may require further work. For further advice, please check with one of our store staff.

Does stone need to be sealed?

Yes. All stone is porous to some degree. All stone sealers provide a temporary stain barrier and the better the sealer, the longer it takes to penetrate into the stone. To take appropriate care, please ask our store staff about the right sealer for your stone. We recommend the Aqua Mix range of sealers. 

How do I care for stone bench tops or vanities?

Avoid cutting on it and do not place hot pots directly onto the stone. Any spills should be wiped up promptly.
