CARE & MAINTENANCE

Caring for crackle glazed tiles

Customers sometimes worry that a crackle glazed tile might absorb more water or stain more easily than other glazes. However if the tile is correctly installed you have nothing to worry about. Once properly sealed, a crackle glazed tile can be used in virtually any space, even a wet room. To protect your crackle glazed tiles from unwanted staining, you will need an appropriate sealer. Our proprietary Crackle Glaze Sealer forms a clear odourless barrier that helps protect porous tiles from penetration by water, dirt, oil, grease, limescale and other commonly found household contaminants.
