Q: Will my wall tiles look like the sample?

Your sample is an excellent guide for the general look, feel, finish, and thickness of your eventual wall tiles. With that said, we advise against using it as a guarantee of colour, veins, or fossils. Wall tiles samples may not always show the full variation of a tile. We advise a combination of looking at photos of the wall tiles in other customer projects, artist impressions, and scanning the QR code behind the sample for a video demonstration. The illustration shows a comparison between a sample and a full-size tile. Please do not hesitate to call, email, or chat with us if you need further information on your chosen wall tiles samples

Question 1

Do wall tiles require sealing?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain wall tiles do not require sealing as they are hardly absorbent. Natural stone wall tiles such as limestone, travertine, and marble stone require sealing to make them waterproof and resistant to permanent staining. We recommend FILA products for sealing natural stone wall tiles

With that said, the grout lines for porcelain and natural stone wall tiles should be sealed. This can be done with grout protector (porcelain tiles) or FILA sealer products (natural stone)

Question 2

What other items to I need for wall tiles?

Accepted Answer

We recommend Tilemaster, Fugabella, and Bostic grout and adhesive for wall tiles. Your builder can provide the levelling kit and spacers. Enjoy money off when bought together with your wall tiles.

Adhesive is used for sticking the wall tiles to the wall.
Grout is used for the gaps between the wall tiles
Levelling kits are used to prevent lipping in wall tiles
Spacers are used to ensure all your wall tiles are evenly spaced

Question 3

Should I seal my grout in wall tiles?

Accepted Answer

Grout lines between wall tiles are most likely to get dirty and stain so yes! Porcelain wall tiles do not normally require sealing because of their low absorbency rate but the grout lines (gaps between the wall tiles) need to be protected. Sealing the grout lines will protect them from permanent staining. FILA has specific grout sealer products that you can select when making your wall tiles purchase

Natural stone wall tiles are porous so they require sealing and the FILA sealer for the tiles can also be used to seal the grout lines

Question 4

Are wall tiles durable?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our handpicked, curated selection of porcelain wall tiles are made in Italy and Spain, the leaders in porcelain manufacturing tiles in Europe. This is a conscious decision based on our trust in the industry leaders in porcelain and ceramic tile manufacturing. Please search “Ceramics of Italy” and “Tiles of Spain” for more information. Being made in Italy and Spain means that the wall tiles are made in state-of-the-art factories, and by companies heavily invested in using the highest quality of raw materials, and latest technologies. Italian tile design has been setting the trend for wall tiles design for decades

When it comes to natural stone, we source our limestone and travertine wall tiles from the regions with the highest quality of that stone. Some from Portugal, some from Italy, and some from Egypt and Turkey.

Please do not hesitate to call, email, or chat with us if you need further information on durability of your chosen wall tiles

Question 5

Are wall tiles porous?

Accepted Answer

Wall tiles made from porcelain are not porous so do not require sealing. They have a low absorbency rate (<0.5%) You can easily perform a “water test” on your sample to see how long a drop of water lasts on the surface.

Wall tiles made from natural stone such as limestone, marble, or travertine are porous by nature so they require sealing. We recommend FILA products for sealing which you can purchase together with your wall tiles

Please do not hesitate to call, email, or chat with us if you need further information on absorbency of your chosen wall tiles
