Questions people ask before ordering tiles

Answered here so nobody has to message first. Anything else: whisper to us.

How many boxes do I need?

Measure the area in m², add 10 % for cutting (15 % for diagonal or herringbone layouts) and divide by the m² per box shown for your format. The calculator above does this and rounds up to whole boxes. Keep one spare box for future repairs — production batches vary slightly in shade.

What do rectified, R10 and V2 mean?

Rectified edges are cut square after firing, so joints can be as narrow as 2 mm. R10–R12 is the anti-slip rating for shoes (R11 and above for wet outdoor areas); A, B and C is the barefoot rating for pools and showers. V1–V4 is how much the faces vary from tile to tile: V1 uniform, V4 every piece different.

Can I use it on the floor, outside, or in a pool?

The “Use” line in the technical data is the answer for this exact format and finish: polished finishes stay indoors; outdoor terraces need an anti-slip finish or a 20 mm version; pools need the barefoot rating and pool-edge special pieces.

How do samples work?

Order a sample of any colour from this page; it is deducted from your order. Samples show one face of the design — check the “all faces” gallery for the full variation.

Lead time and delivery

Quick-ship formats leave our Dubai warehouse first; made-to-order formats are produced in Spain and arrive by sea in the time shown next to the price. Delivery is to kerbside on pallets; carrying to the floor and site storage are quoted on request.

Which grout, adhesive and joint width?

Porcelain needs a C2 adhesive, applied to both tile and floor for formats over 60 cm. A 2–3 mm joint for rectified tiles, 4–5 mm otherwise, with a grout close to the tile colour. The installation & maintenance manual in Downloads has the full guidance.

Can I return unopened boxes?

Made-to-order pieces are produced for you and cannot be returned, which is why the calculator rounds carefully and samples are cheap. For quick-ship stock, whisper to us before ordering and we will confirm what applies.
