BEST PRACTICES
Application & Installation
Correct installation is vital to ensuring the longevity and aesthetic integrity of your GVT tiles. From substrate preparation to final grouting, precision is key for both residential and high-traffic commercial environments.
Key Installation Steps
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is perfectly level, clean, and dry to prevent cracking.
- Adhesive Selection: Use high-quality polymer-modified adhesives suitable for large format GVT tiles.
- Leveling Systems: Employ tile leveling clips to achieve perfectly flat surfaces and eliminate lippage.
- Grout Application: Select epoxy or cementitious grouts that complement the tile finish for a seamless look.
- Expansion Joints: Incorporate necessary expansion joints in larger commercial areas to allow for structural movement.
Routine Cleaning
Use a pH-neutral cleaner and soft microfiber mop. Avoid abrasive tools that can micro-scratch the glazed finish over time.
Chemical Safety
Never use hydrofluoric acid or highly alkaline industrial cleaners. These can permanently eth the vitrified surface quality.
Preserving Excellence
Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT) are celebrated for their luxury and resilience. Maintaining their pristine aesthetic requires minimal yet specific care to ensure the artisanal surface remains a highlight of your architecture for decades.
Spill Management
While GVT is highly stain-resistant, acidic spills like wine or vinegar should be wiped immediately with damp cloth to protect grout.
Protect & Polish
Use furniture pads under heavy legs. For polished GVT, occasional dry buffing with a clean cloth restores the original high-gloss sheen.
GVT Surface FAQ
What is a GVT Surface?
Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT) feature a high-quality glaze layer that allows for a wide range of aesthetic textures while maintaining the core strength of vitrified material.
Are GVT tiles suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, especially those with higher PEI ratings. They are excellent for both residential living spaces and moderate commercial traffic areas.
How do I maintain GVT surfaces?
Maintenance is simple: regular sweeping followed by damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner is sufficient. Avoid abrasive pads to preserve the glazed finish.
Can these tiles be used outdoors?
Vitrified tiles are frost-resistant, making them suitable for patios and balconies. Ensure you choose a matte or textured finish for better slip resistance in wet areas.
