Questions and Answers for Merola Tile Kings Rombos 17-5/8 in. x 17-5/8 in. Ceramic Floor and Wall Tile (10.95 sq. ft./Case)

A:  Hi! For our Kings Rombos, we recommend using at least a 3/16” grout line to accommodate any variation in size or the subsurface and to allow for movement. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  1/8-inch is typical for floor tiles over 8"x8".

A:  Hi Mammayes Grouting the tiles is really up to you. You can choose not to, and maintain the rustic appearance, or you can go ahead and apply grouting per your tile installer's requirements. In your situation, you would probably want to apply grout as the location will be wet and you don't want moisture seeping through to the subflooring.

A:  That part of the tile does not need to be grouted.

A:  Hi! For our Kings Rombos, the scored grout lines can be grouted with the color of your choice, or left ungrouted for a rugged finish. This product does not require modification to properly hold grout. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi, Laura! Although choosing coordinating tile is a personal preference, we can recommend Kings Manhattan https://thd.co/2JSKcxJ if you’re looking for something similar. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  I used in our Laundry/mud room floor- I LOVE the pattern. For the wall, I can’t say (something that is fire retardant) but you might want these in hand if trying to match.

A:  It depends. I wish Home Depot had a feature where one could see how different grout colors look with it. I like the dark terracotta grout because we have a room with dark woodwork, so it blends a bit more easily, and I feel it softens the stark black and white. If there is no other brown in the room then the charcoal grout recommended would look best. Considering the expense of tile, I wish a grout color feature where one could see online would be added.

A:  I used black grout for our floor.

A:  Hi, Stu! For our Kings Rombos, we recommend using #60 Charcoal. It is important to note that grout color is a personal preference and can greatly impact the overall look of an installation. Also, the scored lines can be grouted so they are not required to match the terra cotta color. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi, Stu! No, our Kings Rombos Tile does not need to be sealed as it is a glazed tile and is not required. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi MrsBWell, We would recommend using either a 3/16” or a 1/4” grout line. We always recommend using Custom Building Product installation materials, and they offer tile spacers in a 3/16” size https://thd.co/2HeIAtU and a 1/4” size https://thd.co/2Hk5O4Y. As our Kings Rombos isn’t rectified, we wouldn’t recommend using a smaller grout joint. Having a rectified tile means that the edges have been ground down for precise sizing. Tile tends to expand and contract, if the grout joints are too small it can cause damage to the installation such as cracking. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!

A:  Yes, this can be cut.

A:  Hi VZ, Yes, you can absolutely separate the squares of our Kings Rombos so you can make your own pattern! As there are already scored grout lines on the tiles, you can use them as guides for where you want to cut the tiles. To be able to accomplish this, we would suggest using a wet saw with a diamond-tipped blade. We always recommend the use of a wet saw as it offers the best cut with the least chance of breakage. After you finish cutting the tiles, you might want to sand the edges to smooth them down as they have the potential to be very sharp. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652. Hope this helps!
