Description
Ceramic is not only the blanket term for any product made from clay and fired in a kiln to harden, but also the term for tiles which are fired at lower temperatures than porcelain and have greater water absorption. These ceramic tiles are usually glazed with either high-gloss, colourful or patterned surfaces and usually for wall use only, although some ceramics can be used for flooring.
Installation
- Adhesive: For optimal results, use a suitable adhesive formulated for ceramic tiles.
- Grout: We offer a wide range of Ardex tile grouts that are flexible, water-repellent, and available in various colours, ideal for coordinating or contrasting with your chosen tiles.
- Sealing: Ceramic tiles generally do not require sealing. However, we recommend applying a grout protector to help maintain the appearance of the grout lines over time.
Maintain your ceramic tiles with a pH-neutral cleaner such as Fila Cleaner Pro. Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals, which may damage the surface or affect the grout.
Please note: This is general guidance. For more complex installations, we recommend visiting our Advice & Support section or contacting our team for expert help.
