TIPS FOR USING PLAINS

•

Choose large-format tiles to create a seamless effect in spacious areas. •

New or reclaimed stone slabs with a tumbled edge will look more authentic but may need generous grouting to accommodate dips and dents. If possible, opt for darker grout rather than cream or white, which can soon become grubby. •

Paint can help to lighten a floor or unify an area. Use a hardwearing floor paint and prepare the surface well. High-traffic areas may need to be repainted occasionally. •

Micro cement should be installed by a professional to ensure any tiny bubbles are eradicated before it sets, as this prevents crumbling at a later stage.
