Caliza Gris Indoor Porcelain Tiles

Grey Porcelain Tiles and Slabs have been a popular choice in modern homes for a number of years and we can understand why. Grey flooring has become synonymous with a minimalist, modern design that goes well with a range of designs and aesthetics. The Caliza Gris is a classic, light-grey porcelain perfect for creating that magazine-worthy look in your home. 

Once properly installed, Caliza Indoor Tiles are long-lasting and durable, making them a wise long-term investment. You can trust that your flooring will remain intact for many years, regardless of the amount of foot traffic it endures.

Porcelain Tiles are inherently stain-resistant due to their manufacturing process. This quality makes them perfect for high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms, where spills and stains are common.

Furthermore, these tiles require minimal maintenance. After installation, the only upkeep needed is regular sweeping to keep dirt and debris at bay, ensuring your tiles stay pristine with minimal effort.

Caliza Gris Outdoor Porcelain Slabs

As stated above Grey Porcelain paving slabs are a much sought-after colour for homes and gardens. Grey Slabs are ideal if you are looking to create a more contemporary vibe which will look great no matter the season. We think Grey slabs look fantastic with black garden furniture for a more sophisticated look or even white furniture if you prefer a brighter atmosphere.

These Grey Porcelain Slabs are expertly crafted to withstand both frost and high temperatures, making them ideal for England's unpredictable weather.

Their impermeable nature prevents water absorption, ensuring that any spilt liquids can be easily wiped away without leaving stains. This feature makes them exceptionally low-maintenance and perfect for outdoor settings.

These slabs integrate seamlessly with other garden features like fresh turf, artificial grass, and decorative stones, allowing you to create a cohesive and visually appealing outdoor space.

Additionally, these slabs are resistant to grime, mould, and stains, making them an excellent choice for family homes where spills are common. They are also suitable for gardens with trees and pets, as they can be easily cleaned.

Finally, these grey pavers are rated R11 for slip resistance, ensuring safety during rainy seasons and around swimming pools. This slip-resistant feature adds an extra layer of security, making them a practical choice for any garden.

How to Install Caliza Gris Indoor Porcelain Tiles

Installing indoor porcelain tiles can be a meticulous task, so we recommend hiring a professional for the best results. However, if you are an experienced DIY enthusiast looking to tackle a bigger project, our guide will help you get started.

Materials and Tools Needed:

• Porcelain tiles
• Tile adhesive (thin-set mortar)
• Grout
• Tile spacers
• Tile cutter or wet saw
• Notched trowel
• Grout float
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Rubber mallet
• Sponge and bucket
• Chalk line
• Safety gear (gloves, safety glasses)

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Repair Any Damage: Fix any cracks or uneven areas in the subfloor. For wooden subfloors, ensure they are sturdy and free from rot or damage.

Install a Tile Backer Board: For added stability and moisture protection, consider installing a cement backer board over the subfloor. Secure it with appropriate screws and tape the seams with fibreglass mesh tape.

Step 2: Plan Your Layout

Dry Layout: Lay out the tiles on the floor without adhesive to determine the best arrangement and minimize cuts. Use a chalk line to mark the center of the room and create a reference point for laying the tiles.

Check for Level: Use a level to ensure the surface is even. If necessary, use a self-levelling compound to even out any low spots.

Step 3: Apply the Adhesive

Spread the Adhesive: Using a notched trowel, spread the adhesive over a small section of the floor, starting at the center. Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle to create ridges in the adhesive.

Step 4: Lay the Tiles

Use Tile Spacers: Insert tile spacers between tiles to maintain even spacing and straight grout lines.

Continue Laying Tiles: Continue laying tiles, working in small sections. Check periodically with a level to ensure the tiles are even.

Cut Tiles as Needed: Use a tile cutter or wet saw to cut tiles to fit along the edges and around obstacles.

Step 5: Grout the Tiles

Mix the Grout: Prepare the grout according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Apply the Grout: Using a grout float, spread the grout over the tiles, pressing it into the joints at a 45-degree angle. Remove excess grout with the float.

Clean the Tiles: After the grout has set for about 15-30 minutes, clean the tiles with a damp sponge to remove grout residue. Rinse the sponge frequently.

Final Cleaning: Once the grout has fully cured (typically 24 hours), do a final cleaning to remove any grout haze from the tile surface.

Step 6: Seal the Grout (Optional)

Apply Grout Sealer: To protect the grout from stains and moisture, apply a grout sealer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

Caulk Edges: Apply caulk along the edges where the tiles meet walls, cabinets, or other surfaces to create a clean, finished look and provide flexibility.
