Cleaning and Maintenance of Unglazed Porcelain Tiles
Many porcelain tiles arrive with a protective coat of transit wax to prevent scratching during transportation. It is best to clean this off once the tiles have been laid but before grouting. This is because some unglazed porcelain tiles can be susceptible to staining by coloured grouts and wax will not protect the tile from this.When using cleaning products on your tiles, be sure to carry out a patch test first, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance on the packaging.To remove the wax you will need a mild abrasive cleaning product such as Microscrub, which will clean but not harm the surface of the tiles. Apply this to the wet tiles and rub with a scrub pad or a rotary machine. Avoid rubbing too hard or using anything that could damage the porcelain, especially on polished tiles which could become dull if scratched. Once you have managed to get rid of the wax, remove all the residue from the tiles, including any that is caught in the gaps between them. Then rinse with clean water. Finally, dry the floor, either using a wet-vac or a towel.
Some of our porcelain ranges need to be sealed. This should be carried out before grouting to prevent the grout staining the tiles. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer and allow the sealant to dry before grouting. Once grouted and cleaned, it is a good idea to reseal the tiles. This will also seal the grout. The
Removing Protective Wax Coatings
Sealing
majority of our polished porcelain ranges arrive pre-sealed from the factory, but they will need resealing at regular intervals. You can do a simple test by placing a small amount of water on to the tiles and waiting to see if it is absorbed by the tile or not. If it is, you need to reseal the floor.
If you spill anything, remove it promptly. Many household chemicals, tea, coffee and wine are all acidic and can etch the porcelain tiles if left unattended. Clean floor tiles regularly, sweeping or vacuuming first, then mopping with a mild household cleaner or one specifically manufactured for use with unglazed porcelain tiles. Be sure to rinse with clean water at regular intervals. Once you have finished the process, dry the tiles off to avoid water spots.Textured tiles, by their very nature, will require more effort when cleaning, as you will need to make sure to remove all foreign residue that might get caught in the texture.
Tiles are produced in batches in the same way as wallpaper, and a degree of shading is inherent in the manufacturing. Please examine the tiles and make sure that there is an acceptable blend of shades BEFORE starting to tile. We will not accept any claims or returns for shading purposes once the tiles have been fixed to the wall or floor. We cannot guarantee that subsequent batches will be exactly the same shade, so please ensure that you purchase enough tiles for the job.

Technical Information
Porcelain is actually a type of ceramic, the main characteristics of which are low porosity (absorption rates of less than 0.5%) and colour that penetrates the entire body of the tile, rendering it very durable. Porcelain can be either glazed or unglazed depending on the desired look and intended use.
Grade 1 - Light domestic use - barefoot or soft footwear, i.e. bathrooms and bedrooms.
Grade 2 - Moderate domestic traffic - tiles suited to use in the home except in areas where there is direct access to outside such as hallways and kitchens.
Grade 3 - All domestic use - Suitable for all areas of the home including kitchens and hallways.
Grade 4 - Tiles suitable for domestic and public use where moderate to heavy traffic occurs, i.e. Hotel lobbies, restaurants and supermarkets.

What is Porcelain?

These tiles are extremely durable and frost proof. The initial tile is matt in finish. The same tile can then be either semi or fully polished. Polishing unglazed porcelain results in a high gloss finish. Unfortunately, polished porcelains are more susceptible to staining because dirt gets trapped in the opened surface pores. Sealants or other pre-surface treatments can prevent this problem as a routine re-application of the protective treatment is maintained.
These tiles have a glaze applied over the porcelain body and it is therefore the glaze’s hardness that determines where the tile can be used, in the same way as normal ceramic tiles. Some glazed porcelain can be used outside as the body is frost resistant.
There are various ways of measuring slip resistance. Two of the most commonly seen in this country are the pendulum test and the ramp test. We have used ramp test ratings throughout the brochure where available.The dry ramp test measures slip resistance for areas of wet shoe traffic. The R value is greater in areas of higher resistance to slipping.The wet ramp test measures slip resistance for areas where people will be walking with wet bare feet. It is measured in values of A to C. A is suitable for mainly water splash areas for example bathrooms, B is for pool surroundings, shower areas etc and C is for walk through pools, ramps into pools etc.
