HOW TO CUT PORCELAIN TILE?

You can cut any type or thickness of porcelain tile with a standard tile cutting tool. This works by scoring a cutting line the full length of the tile with assistance from a jog, before applying a small amount of force over a very narrow contact area. 

DOES PORCELAIN TILE NEED TO BE SEALED?

HOW TO INSTALL PORCELAIN TILE?

A clean, smooth and secure substrate will serve as the base on which to position your tiles. Apply the correct type and thickness of tile adhesive or mortar and then apply uniform downward pressure until you have got the tile level. 

HOW TO LAY PORCELAIN TILE?

You can lay porcelain tile as a flooring solution by prepping and cleaning the substrate to make sure it is free from loose debris and dirt. This will ensure the correct adhesion between substrate and tile, making sure the fit is secure and snug. You can wipe away any excess and leave to dry before finishing with an appropriate choice of grout.

Mild soap solution and a light abrading cleaning pad will take care of grout haze in the majority of cases. Applying a slight and uniform pressure will remove the haze while also protecting the surface of the tile.
