Ceramic tiles will generally not require sealing (unless stated by the manufacturer). It is essential that the correct products are used for both the initial clean after fitting and to maintain them throughout their life.

PREPARE: For an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue. Sometimes, particularly on a textured surface, after using residue removers there is still some residue which may be due to the polymer within the grout. This needs to be softened with an alkaline detergent. Use Tile and Stone Stain Remover in the same way as the residue remover.

CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted.

Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they will damage the life of the sealer .

Please ask in store for care information.

Although granite is one of the hardest substances known to man, polished and unpolished Granite tiles will require sealing to prevent staining. Care should be taken not to use acid based cleaners as these will tarnish the shine of polished granite.

PREPARE: After grouting for an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue. Sometimes, particularly on a textured surface, after using residue removers there is still some residue which may be due to the polymer within the grout. This needs to be softened with an alkaline detergent. Use Tile and Stone Stain Remover in the same way as the residue remover.

PROTECT: 2 coats of polised protector are required. Apply with either a brush or a roller, allow each coat to dry thoroughly.

CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted.

Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they can damage the life of the sealer.

PREPARE: Diluted First Wash 1:30 covers 50m2. Allow the solution to sit on the tile for 5 minutes and work residue off with a suitable pad or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. The preparation should be done before and after grouting.

PROTECT: Apply in total 3 coats of Unpolished Protector using a brush or a roller, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. A 1ltr bottle will cover approx. 10m2. The first coat should be applied after the inital cleaning but before grouting as a pre-seal, to help prevent absorption of grout into the tile. The second and third coats should be applied after the grouting and cleaning process.

CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted at a ration od 1:200. Using the correct cleaning product ensures the life span of the protection.

ENHANCE: Unpolished Limestone can be enhanced using Colour Intensifier and in this case one coat of Unpolished Protector should be applied before grouting, and after cleaning apply 2 coats of Colour Intensifier once the limestone is dry.

PLEASE NOTE: Acidic or Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for use on limestone. Contrasting grouts can cause staining, so it is advised to test the grout on a small area before grouting commences.

PREPARE: Diluted First Wash 1:30 covers 50m2. Allow the solution to sit on the tile for 5 minutes and work residue off with a soft white emulsifying pad or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Sometimes after using a First Wash, residues may be left behind, this may be due to the polymer within the grout. In these instances use Tile and Stone Stain Remover diluted 1:5 in the same way as the First Wash.

PROTECT: If using Polished Protector, apply 1 coat using a brush or a roller, allow to dry thoroughly. A 1ltr bottle will cover apprx. 30m2. If using Unpolished Protector, apply 2 coats using a brush or a roller. Ensure you apply the second coat within 4 hours of the first coat. A 1ltr bottle will cover approx. 20 m2.

CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted 1:200.

PLEASE NOTE: Acidic or Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for use on marble. Marble does not require pre-sealing. Contrasting grouts can cause staining, so it is advised to test the grout on a small area before grouting commences.

Porcelain in its natural form is textured in order for it to have a polished finish the tile needs to be grinded down and then buffed to a highly polished finish, this creates micro pours that will require sealing. All Polished Porcelain tiles sold by Topps Tiles are micro sealed at the factory unless otherwise stated on the box. This sealer will last approximately 12 months providing the correct cleaners are used. In most cases polished porcelain will also have a transit wax on to prevent damage during transportation, this will need to be removed with extra strong residue remover before grouting.

PREPARE: After grouting for an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue.

CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted.

Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they will damage the life of the sealer .

*PLEASE NOTE: All of our Polished products have a protective micro sealer applied to them during the manufacturing process which protects against staining. This sealer will, depending on usage, last for 12-18 months at which point we recommend reapplying our Polished Protector to ensure that the tiles stay in top condition. Apply 2 coats with either a brush or a roller, allow each coat to dry thoroughly.

For more information on whether specific products will require sealing please speak to a member of store staff or contact us via our Web Chat.

Most slate will vary in thickness. (This is an inherent property of slate and adds to the rustic look.) To obtain a finish with all the tiles at the same level the tiles will need to be examined and laying should begin with the thickest tile, the remainder tiles should then be brought up to the same level..

PREPARE: After grouting for an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue. Sometimes, particularly on a textured surface, after using residue removers there is still some residue which may be due to the polymer within the grout. This needs to be softened with an alkaline detergent. Use Tile and Stone Stain Remover in the same way as the residue remover.

PROTECT: Use an unpolished protector, 2 coats are required. Apply with either a brush or a roller and allow each coat to dry thoroughly. A colour intensifier may be used after the initial coat if desired.

Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they will damage the life of the sealer .

Travertine and Marble are very soft stones and should be maintained using PH neutral products as acid and alkaline will damage the stone and reduce the effectiveness of any sealers that have been used on the stone.

PREPARE: Diluted First Wash 1:30 covers 50m2. Allow the solution to sit on the tile for 5 minutes and work residue off with a suitable pad or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Sometimes after using a First Wash, residues may be left behind, this may be due to the polymer within the grout. In these instances use Tile and Stone Stain Remover diluted 1:5 in the same way as the First Wash.

PROTECT: If using Polished Protector, for polished travertine, apply 1 coat using a brush or a roller. A 1ltr bottle will cover approx. 30m2. If using Unpolished Protector, for unpolished travertine, apply 2 coats using a brush or a roller. Apply the second coat within 4 hours of the first coat. A 1ltr bottle will cover approx 30m2.

CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted 1:200. Using the correct cleaning product ensures the life span of the protection

ENHANCE: Unpolished travertine can be enhanced using Colour Intensifier. After using First Wash and when the travertine is dry, apply 2 coats of Colour Intensifier.

PLEASE NOTE: Acidic or Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for use on travertine. Travertine does not require pre-sealing. Contrasting grouts can cause staining, so it is advised to test the grout on a small area before grouting commences.
