Thanks to its waterproof qualities, these tiles are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, patios and all types of floors or walls that are constantly exposed to water.

Find out how to treat your new floor or have a look at our installation guidelines
No, the pieces should be placed untreated and must be dry and clean before the treatment. If the tiles are treated before lay out, the moisture from the cement glue will evaporate and could stain them permanently.
The cleaning and maintenance is as simple as mopping normally with neutral-Ph soaps and adding wax occasionally.
Do not use bleach or abrasives.
The soapstone after successively being mopped, will acquire its lustre and natural character.
Our minimum order is of 0.5 m2 (one box of 13 tiles)
We recommend adding between 10 and 15 percent for trimming and material for future work.
