Pro Tip - Sanding

If you wish to match the edge of the tile to the rest of its brushed finish, sanding is required. Use 60 grit sandpaper to sand down the edges or any part of the tile you adjusted. This will help in blending the modification seamlessly with the rest of the tile's surface.

  • Tiles may come dusty from the factory.
    - A thorough hosing is required.
  • Do not leave tiles in pooling water for weeks.
    - It may cause deformation.
  • Pressure washing is acceptable.

    - Using a 40-grit sandpaper.
    - Sanding along the grain.
  • For oil stains:
    - Use hot water and detergent.
    - Scrub with a sponge.
