Frequently Asked Questions about Nikea Sephia Grey patterned tiles
Can I use this tile outside?
This tile is frost-resistant and technically suitable for outdoor use, but we recommend carefully considering its application specifically for the Dutch climate. It performs exceptionally well in covered outdoor areas such as verandas. For fully open patios or garden paths, we recommend tiles with a higher anti-slip rating (at least R11) due to Dutch rainfall and potential slipperiness during frosty conditions. Our advisors are happy to help you find the right tiles for your specific outdoor project.
How do I ensure a nice distribution of the different patterns?
For optimal results, we recommend mixing tiles from different boxes and laying them out before installing. This allows you to create a nice distribution of patterns and prevents unintended clusters of the same design. Because each box contains a random selection of the 27 patterns, you'll achieve a balanced result across the entire surface.
Do I need special maintenance products for these patterned tiles?
No, that's precisely the advantage of these modern porcelain pattern tiles. Unlike traditional cement tiles, they don't require any special treatment or impregnation. Regular vacuuming or sweeping and wiping with a neutral, acid-free all-purpose cleaner is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the matte finish, and never use bleach or acidic cleaners that can damage the glaze.
Are these tiles suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, Nikea Sephia Grey tiles are perfectly suited for underfloor heating thanks to their frost resistance and thin 7 mm thickness. They conduct heat efficiently and are resistant to the temperature fluctuations that occur with underfloor heating. However, always follow the guidelines for your underfloor heating system regarding gradual start-up after installation to prevent thermal shock.
