Ceramic Tile Information

Glazed ceramic tiles are a popular option these days due their durability, water and scratch resistance. Originally tiles were hand-made, thus each was a work of art in its own right. Ceramic tile is used almost everywhere – on walls, floors, ceilings, fireplaces, in murals, and as an exterior cladding on buildings. Today of course most ceramic tiles are automatically manufactured.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Ceramic tiles unlike there forebears Quarry Tiles are fully glazed, even the matt Ceramic tile is fully glazed so this means they won’t need to be cleaned and sealed unless they are textured (see below) however textured tiles can trap dirt in the groves (unless sealed) and thus will need to be cleaned out with Tile Doctor Pro-Clean and rinsed with water afterwards.

Most Ceramic tiles are quite easy to clean with these methods however grout is normally recessed and this can act as a dirt trap on floor tiles when they are mopped leading to a build-up of dirt on the grout, this can be resolved using Tile Doctor Pro-Clean and then once clean and fully dry, seal the grout with one coat of Tile Doctor Ultra-Seal using a pipette.

Sealing Ceramic Tiles

Here at Tile Doctor we often get asked to recommend a sealer for Ceramic Tiles; the simple answer is they don’t usually need one however textured ceramics tiles that simulate the appearance of Slate and Stone often benefit from one coat of Tile Doctor Seal and Go which will prevent dirt from being trapping in the rough surfaceof the tile. Seal and Go is however a satin finish sealer so will leave the tiles with a satin finish.
