Get answers to common questions about hexagonal tiles
Hexagonal tile installation typically requires 15–20% extra material over the measured area, due to cutting losses at edges, corners, and angled sections. Always add this buffer before placing your order to avoid lot mismatches.
Yes, significantly higher. Hexagonal tile installation takes two to three times longer than standard square tile work because of precision angle cutting and the need for careful layout alignment to keep the pattern consistent across the full surface.
Not if the colour and grout are chosen correctly. A white or light-coloured hexagon in 300×300 mm size with a closely matching grout tone makes compact bathrooms feel more considered and visually interesting rather than busy.
Regular scrubbing with a pH-neutral cleaner and a stiff brush, combined with annual grout sealing, keeps grout lines clean over time. Without sealing, water, soap, and dust accumulate quickly in the denser joint network of hexagonal layouts.
No. Wall tiles have higher water absorption and thinner body construction, which makes them unsuitable for floor use. Floor applications require tiles rated for lower water absorption and higher load-bearing durability.
Epoxy grout is strongly recommended for kitchen backsplashes and bathroom floors because it resists staining, water, and oil penetration far better than standard cement-based grout. The investment in epoxy grout pays back over several years in reduced cleaning effort and longer-lasting grout lines.
