Design & Planning Tips
-
Lighting matters: Position wall-wash lights or directional fixtures to enhance the 3-D and fluted textures, creating shadows and depth.
-
Grout strategy: Use matching grout colour for seamless effect, or choose contrasting grout for retro-graphic grid look.
-
Balance the gloss: Pair glossy walls with matte or textured flooring and furnishings to avoid an overly reflective look.
-
Full-wall vs zone cladding: For smaller rooms, consider cladding just one major wall. For spacious living rooms, full-wall works well — just ensure proper substrate preparation.
-
Colour coordination: If using strong colour tiles, keep nearby furniture and décor minimal to let the wall stand out. For neutral tiles, you can add bolder accessories.
Installation & Maintenance (India-Ready)
- Prepare a flat, firm wall substrate; ensure priming if necessary and use good quality wall-tile adhesive compatible with ceramic tile.
- Dry-lay a row to check alignment of the 12×12 tiles; plan around openings and ensure consistent texture orientation for fluted/3D pattern.
- Use non-staining grout; for gloss surfaces choose epoxy or high-performance grout to maintain shine and prevent darkening over time.
- Routine care: Wipe down with a microfiber cloth and mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh abrasion or chemical scrubs on the high-gloss surface.
