Tivoli Ivory 12 x 24 Porcelain Tile

Description

Tivoli Ivory 12 x 24
Full Polished Porcelain Tile

The Tivoli Ivory 12 x 24 Porcelain Tile comes with a luxurious full polished micro-crystal surface finish that simulates polished marble. These large format tiles come with rectified edges to minimize the grout lines up to 1/16th of an inch and achieve a real marble tile look. Designed in Italy by Primi Ceramiche, and manufactured in China under strict quality controls; these tiles are the perfect marriage between premium design and value. These tiles are carefully inspected to reduce the bowing rate that is inherent to porcelain tile manufacturing. With a PEI Class III rating, this floor is more than adequate for high traffic areas in residential applications. The rectified edges provide an even surface look on the joints or grout lines. The manufacturer recommends installing the tiles on a square or diamond pattern with 1/8th of inch grout line. A smaller grout line can be achieved with minimal “lippage” with a leveling-spacers installation system. Never install porcelain tiles on a “brick pattern” or 50% offset pattern.

Maintenance

Guidelines

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are extremely durable under normal use. Porcelain tiles are non-porous which makes them highly stain resistant. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are very low maintenance; common household spills are easy to clean with the use of a mop, warm water, and a pH neutral cleaner. Do not use acidic cleaners on porcelain or ceramic products. Grout is easily stained. We recommend the use of a grout sealer or a polymer based grout material during installation for the highest stain resistance. Mop your floors at least every other week to prevent grout stains and dirt buildup.
