FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes the Aphrodite Beach mosaic unique?
Unlike standard monochromatic tiles, the Aphrodite Beach mosaic uses a specific blend of light-reflecting materials and matte stones. This "mixed-media" approach creates a surface that looks different as the light changes throughout the day, much like the tide on a beach.
What color grout is recommended for the Aphrodite Beach collection?
To keep the look airy and natural, we recommend a Warm White or Sand-colored grout. Avoid dark or cool-gray grouts, as they can create a harsh contrast that breaks up the natural flow of the beach-inspired palette.
Can I use this tile on a shower floor?
The Aphrodite Beach mosaic is highly popular for shower walls and niches. If using on a shower floor, ensure the specific material blend is rated for wet-foot traffic. The natural texture often provides inherent slip resistance, but always check with your installer regarding local building codes.
How do I clean natural stone mosaics?
To preserve the delicate colors of the Aphrodite Beach series, use only pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid harsh acidic chemicals (like vinegar or lemon-based sprays) which can dull the natural luster of the stone and shell elements.
Does this mosaic need to be sealed?
Yes. Because it contains natural stone components, we recommend applying a high-quality penetrating sealer upon installation. This protects the light-colored stones from absorbing moisture, oils, or pigments.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
• Pre-Seal: Apply a sealer before grouting to make the cleanup process easier and prevent grout haze.
• Gentle Care: Use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth for cleaning to avoid scratching any iridescent elements.
• Immediate Cleanup: Wipe away spills from coffee, wine, or oils immediately to maintain the pristine "Beach" aesthetic.
