Question 1

Are Fired Earth tiles suitable for bathroom floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many Fired Earth tiles are
suitable for bathroom floors, but the right choice depends on the specific
tile. Natural stone tiles in a honed or matt finish offer a good slip
resistance for wet areas. For bathroom floors in shower enclosures or wet rooms,
we recommend checking the PTV (pendulum test value) slip rating with our team
before ordering. Stone effect porcelain tiles are often the most practical
choice for wet room floors.

Question 2

Do Fired Earth tiles work with underfloor heating?

Accepted Answer

All Fired Earth porcelain tiles including
stone effect, wood effect and large format ranges are compatible with
underfloor heating systems. Natural stone tiles are also generally suitable,
though we recommend allowing longer for the floor to heat evenly due to the
thermal mass of stone. Handmade ceramic tiles may require specific adhesive;
contact us before ordering if you have an underfloor heating system.

Question 3

Do Fired Earth natural stone tiles need sealing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Fired Earth natural stone
tiles including limestone, marble, travertine and slate require sealing
before use. This is because natural stone is porous and will absorb water, oils
and stains without a sealer applied. We recommend using an impregnating sealer
appropriate to the stone type. Our team can advise on the correct sealant for
your chosen Fired Earth natural stone tile contact us at
thetileemporium@mail.com before installation.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

once your order is placed. If you need tiles by a specific date, please

Question 11

Sealing various products

Accepted Answer

A number of tiles require sealing.

- Natural stone & encaustic tiles require sealing due to their porous nature.

- Crackle glaze tiles must be sealed, especially if being used in a wet area or behind a cooker. This is because the crazing can allow liquids to pass through.

- Some porcelains can be sealed to aid cleaning

If you need any advice on what sealants to use for your purchased products, please get in touch with us before the tiles are installed: thetileemporium@mail.com

Question 12

Do we physically stock and ship your tiles?

Accepted Answer

We are retail partners for all of the brands we showcase, meaning we have a dedicated showroom with tiles on display. All branded tiles are only stocked at each brand's own facility, meaning they are packed and shipped out by that specific brand with insurance on damages in transit. This allows for a seamless customer experience when ordering with us as we can manage your orders from multiple brands.
