Wall & Floor Tiles

1. How do I keep grout clean?

Most modern grout contains antibacterial agents to help prevent mould and mildew, but regular cleaning is still necessary, especially in damp environments. To enhance mould resistance, sealing your grout is highly recommended. 

For cleaning: 

• Grout Cleaners: Always test standard grout cleaners on a small, hidden area first to prevent staining. 

• DIY Solution: Mix baking soda and water, apply to the grout, leave for a few hours, then scrub with a nylon brush for a natural, effective clean. 

2. What grouts, adhesives, and trims will I need?

The right grout, adhesive, and trims depend on your specific tiling project. Our team is happy to recommend the best products for your needs. Call us at 01782 533722 for expert advice. 

3. What is a slip rating?

A Slip Rating is a measurement that indicates how slip-resistant a floor tile is. The most common scale is the “R” rating: 

• R10 – Recommended as a minimum for indoor use. 

• R11+ – Ideal for outdoor and high-traffic areas. 

While there are no legal slip resistance requirements, choosing the right rating helps ensure safety in your space. 

4. Can I use the same tiles inside and outside my home?

Yes! We offer a selection of indoor-outdoor tiles for a seamless, modern look. Some popular choices include: 

• Balbi Marengo Black

5. Can these tiles be used on both walls and floors?

Many of our tiles are suitable for both walls and floors, but some are designed specifically for one or the other. Always check the product description for recommended use.
