Disadvantages of Matt Tiles:


Matt tiles, known for their non-reflective and smooth finish, do present some challenges:


  1. Stain Visibility: Unlike glossy tiles, matt tiles can show stains and spills more readily, especially in lighter colors. This can necessitate more frequent cleaning to maintain their pristine appearance.
  2. Light Absorption: These tiles absorb more light than reflecting it, which can sometimes make a room appear smaller or less vibrant.
  3. Scratch Visibility: In some cases, matt tiles, particularly those with a flat color, can make scratches more visible.

Ease of Cleaning:

One of the frequently asked questions about matt tiles is their maintenance. Are they easy to keep clean? The answer lies in their texture and finish:


  • Less Visible Water Marks: Matt tiles do not show water marks and smudges as easily as glossy tiles, making them relatively easier to maintain in high-traffic areas.
  • Regular Cleaning Routine: A regular cleaning routine with mild detergents and a mop or cloth is usually sufficient to keep these tiles clean.

Caring for Matt Tiles:

Proper care can extend the life and beauty of matt tiles. Sinotile recommends the following care tips:


  1. Regular Dusting: Use a soft broom or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
  2. Mild Cleaning Solutions: Avoid harsh chemicals. A mix of mild detergent and water is ideal for cleaning.
  3. Immediate Spill Cleanup: To prevent stains, clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.



Water Absorption:

Does matt tile absorb water? The answer depends on the material of the tile:


  • Porcelain Matt Tiles: Generally, porcelain matt tiles from Sinotile are less porous and have a lower water absorption rate, making them suitable for moist environments.
  • Ceramic Matt Tiles: These might absorb more water than porcelain, so they are often recommended for drier areas.
