  • Plan your layout: Polished tile makes grout lines more visible, so make sure to dry lay your tiles in the layout you desire to see how the pattern flows.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is polished tile safe to use on floors?

It truly depends on the area.On dry surfaces like the floors of living rooms or entryways, polished tile looks amazing and is incredibly durable. However, the shiny surface can become slippery in wet places like a shower or bathroom floor. In wet rooms where slip resistance is a concern, we recommend using polished tile primarily on walls: vanity surrounds, kitchen backsplashes and feature walls are great use cases.

2. What is the difference between polished and honed tile?

They’re both smooth in appearance but the feel is somewhat different. Polished tile has that high sheen and eye-catching reflective surface. Honed tile has a more matte, low-sheen surface that feels more subtle.

3. Which rooms work best with polished tile?

Polished tile looks fantastic on bathroom walls, shower surrounds, vanity walls as well as kitchen backsplashes, entryway flooring, and dry living room floors. Because the shiny surface bounces whatever light is available across the space, it works particularly well in rooms with little natural light.

4. How do I clean and maintain polished tiles?

For routine maintenance, all you need is a moist cloth and a light pH neutral cleanser. Stay away from harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners, especially on polished travertine and marble tiles, as natural stone might etch. To maintain the best appearance of your polished stone tile, seal your marble or travertine design before grouting, and reseal it on a regular basis.

5. Can I use polished tiles in a shower?

Of course. The best use case for polished tiles is on the walls. A shower wall with polished ceramic tile is incredibly beautiful and effectively manages moisture. On shower floors where slip resistance is critical, just stay away from polished finishes. Keep the polished tile limited to wall areas, where it works best and and go with matte or textured variations underfoot.
