At Lonix Ceramica, we believe that high-quality tiles deserve equally high-quality installation. As a leader in floor tile manufacturing, we not only craft premium tiles but also support our customers with expert advice on how to install them properly. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or working with a professional, following the right installation steps can ensure lasting beauty and durability.

1. Start with a Smooth, Clean Surface

Before installing any floor tiles, make sure the subfloor is level, dry, and free from dust and debris. Uneven or dirty surfaces can lead to tile cracking or poor adhesion over time. Lonix Ceramica recommends using a good leveling compound if required.

2. Plan Your Layout

Planning the tile layout before applying adhesive can save time and avoid awkward cuts. Dry-lay tiles to visualize the final look and ensure symmetry, especially in high-visibility areas. This step is vital in achieving the refined finish Lonix Ceramica tiles are known for.

3. Use the Right Adhesive

Not all tiles and surfaces require the same adhesive. Based on our experience in floor tile manufacturing, we suggest using polymer-modified thin-set mortar for better bonding, especially for large format tiles. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's guidelines for mixing and application.

4. Maintain Proper Spacing with Tile Spacers

Tile spacers help ensure uniform grout lines. Proper spacing isn’t just about looks—it also helps prevent shifting or cracking. Lonix experts recommend a minimum grout width of 2mm for floor tiles to accommodate natural expansion.

5. Cut Tiles with Precision

Use a quality tile cutter or wet saw to make clean and accurate cuts, especially around edges, corners, or fixtures. Don’t rush this step—precision is key to maintaining the aesthetic appeal that Lonix Ceramica designs strive to deliver.

6. Grout the Right Way

Once tiles are set and adhesive has cured (usually 24 hours), it's time to apply grout. Use a rubber float to press grout into the joints and wipe off excess with a damp sponge. Choose a grout color that complements your floor tile design.

7. Let It Set, Then Seal

Allow the grout to cure fully, then apply a sealer (if necessary) to prevent stains and moisture penetration—especially in kitchens or bathrooms. This final touch will preserve the beauty of your tiles for years to come.

8. Clean Regularly and Gently

Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage your tiles or grout. Instead, use pH-neutral cleaners and soft mops. With tiles from Lonix Ceramica, maintenance is easy due to our advanced surface finishing processes used in floor tile manufacturing.
