Q: Which size is best for porcelain wall tiles?

Depending on the dimensions of your kitchen or bathroom, the size of your porcelain wall tiles will contribute to the overall look of your kitchen/bathroom. Common sense prevails, larger kitchens/bathrooms tend to look better with larger porcelain wall tiles to minimise grout lines. Example large sizes are 800x800, 600x1200, 600x900, 1200x1200 and slabs. These dimensions are in mm (millimetres) Smaller kitchen/bathroom floors tend to look better with medium size tiles such as 600x600 and 600x400.

Q: Will my porcelain wall tiles look like the sample?

Your sample is an excellent guide for the general look, feel, finish, and thickness of your eventual porcelain wall tiles. With that said, we advise against using it as a guarantee of colour, veins, or fossils. Porcelain wall tile samples may not always show the full variation of a tile. We advise a combination of looking at photos of the porcelain wall tile 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.

Question 1

Do porcelain wall tiles require sealing?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain wall tiles do not require sealing as they are hardly absorbent. Porcelain wall tiles are resistant to water and permanent staining.

With that said, the grout lines for porcelain wall tiles should be sealed. This can be done with FILA grout protector (porcelain tiles)

Question 2

What other items do I need for porcelain wall tiles?

Accepted Answer

We recommend Tilemaster, Fugabella, and Bostic grout and adhesive for porcelain wall tiles. Your builder can provide the levelling kit, spacers, and anti-crack mats. Enjoy money off when bought together with your porcelain wall tiles. Adhesive is used for sticking the porcelain wall tiles to the wall.
Grout is used for the gaps between the porcelain wall tiles
Levelling kits are used to prevent lipping in porcelain wall tiles Spacers are used to ensure all your porcelain wall tiles are evenly spaced
Backer boards might also be required for plaster board but your builder will advise

Question 3

Should I seal grout in porcelain wall tiles?

Accepted Answer

Grout lines between porcelain 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 porcelain 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 porcelain wall tile purchase
