FAQs
1. Is the mother of pearl, shell tile non-porous?
Yes, mother-of-pearl, shell tiles are highly non-porous. It does not absorb moisture in wet areas and is suitable for bathrooms and shower areas. They also avoid the growth of bacteria and germs, which is the reason why they are preferred in public places like restaurants and hospitals.
2. Is grouting required for mother-of-pearl, shell tiles?
Yes, grouting helps secure the tile to the substrate, filling the gaps between the uniform squares and helps you to enjoy a seamless look. But ensure you use an unsanded grout because sanded grouts may harm the delicate shell tile surfaces. We recommend Laticrete Permacolor Unsanded White for these mesh-mounted tiles, which supports and aligns them and protects against potential damages.
3. How to remove grout haze from shell tiles or mother-of-pearl tiles?
When you go ahead with DIY tile installation, there are chances that excess grout is left out in certain areas. This grout haze can be cleaned easily using a sponge dampened with water until moist but not overly wet.
4. Do we need to use spacers while doing shell tile installation?
Yes, generally it is recommended to use spacers for all types of tile installations including shell tiles. Using spacers ensures even grout lines and helps you attain a clean and professional finish. You can pick a T, U or X shaped spacer as per your requirements. Get in touch with your contractor who can give more information.
5. Can a mother of pearl tile be used in outdoor fireplaces?
Yes, they are suitable for use in fireplace surrounds both indoors and outdoors, say for example in a covered patio. These shell tiles can bear heat up to 150 degree Fahrenheit. They are easy to clean and maintain. Just a wipe with damp cloth dipped in a mild pH cleaner will help you preserve the natural beauty and ensure durability and longevity.
