Yes and no. If the tiles are in a "working" area where water or other liquid is likely to be splashed against it (e.g. Behind the sink, behind the stove) then it is recommended to grout the tiles using the caulking method described in the installation literature. If the tiles are in a purely cosmetic area ? then there is no reason to grout the tiles except for aesthetics. See similar questions...

Cementitious grout, as you may have observed, is porous - it can absorb a stain. Looked at under a microscope, there is a large surface area to absorb stains. For this reason, many owners choose to seal their grout … usually the better the sealer, the more the grout joint is protected. Even better, if epoxy grout is used, it is virtually as stain proof as the tile. Removing stains from cementitious grout is similar to removing stains from clothing. See similar questions...

In most cases hand painted tiles are as durable as factory made tiles and can be cleaned using general kitchen or bathroom cleaning products. However, the use of acid based cleaners (lime scale removers) and abrasives is not recommended. We find that most of our clients use washing up liquid and a sponge. See similar questions...

Flush Sinks in Granite Top - Granite counter top sink cutouts are not as I ordered. I ordered the sink cutouts on counter tops made for our kitchen to be made FLUSH with the sink bowls.The sink manufacturer specified this on the prep sink cutout for accessories but not on the two bowl sink. I ordered the two bowl to be flush as well to match.They had both sinks in house and I provided them detailed drawings for reference.The tops were delivered with a 3/16 reveal on both sinks.

For practical reasons tiles need to be grouted. This doesn't detract from the over all visual impact as the panel is designed taking account of the grout joints. Hand made tiles are more irregular in shape than machine made tiles and therefore require a larger grout joint. (So a rustic hand made tile would not be suitable for a geometric design.

You clean the copper tiles using any standard copper cleaner ? the copper tiles are not coated in any way, so you are dealing with true copper. Experiment with the cleaners readily available from local department or hardware stores - most people prefer the liquid cleaners versus the paste or cream cleaners (due to the mess). Do NOT use abrasive cleaners. Do NOT use copper cleaners on the "Cognac Copper" tiles ? please see #6 below. See similar questions...

The same way you would clean your kitchen counter. Using any regular house hold cleaner should do the trick. However, using a harsh or abrasive cleaner isn't suggested as it can scratch the coating. See similar questions...

We base that statement on the fact that UniBond PVA is the only PVA to be independently audited and rigorously tested at least twice a year. It is the only PVA to hold BS Kitemarks and BBA Certification in the UK. Yes, you may remember using PVA as a child at school. It is safe to use hence schools often use it within their art departments for young children to use. See similar questions...

With closed joint (or butt-jointed) installation, adjacent tiles are in contact. The thickness of the joint is minimal so it has a very low visual impact. Installation is quick since each tile placed in position provides an immediate reference for the subsequent tile. But this is where the advantages end. The risks (which correspond to the advantages of open joint installation) are certainly more significant. See similar questions...

For the initial cleaning, wipe the tiles off after you have removed excess grout by drawing float diagonally across tiles at a 90 degree angle. Simply wring out a damp sponge thoroughly and wipe tiles using a circular motion. For final cleaning/haze removal, allow grout to cure for 24 hours. See similar questions...

You can install our tiles without grout lines. You may choose to seal the tiles with nonsanded grout. See similar questions...
