We Recommend High Performance Adhesives for Stone Cladding Installation
We recommend ordering a bit more at once because:
- A. Although we pack very securely, there's still a small chance of minor damage during transit.
- B. Small top-up orders sent by ParcelForce almost always arrive broken, based on our experience.
Therefore, customers should note that small quantities must be sent by pallet delivery. It's safe, but it requires paying for a ¼-weight pallet, which makes small replacements uneconomical.
Split Face Tiles – Considerations Before Buying: Why Minor Visible Adhesive Is Normal in Split-Face Tiles
Why Are Our Split Face Tile Prices So Competitive?
Our split face tiles are supplied directly from our own overseas factory, removing traditional distribution costs and keeping prices close to the source. Our pricing approach is to maintain reasonable margins rather than high mark-ups, which supports higher sales volumes while ensuring consistent and reliable quality.
Can Split Face Tiles Be Used Outdoors?
Yes, our split face tiles are suitable for both indoor and outdoor wall applications when installed correctly. They are widely used on garden walls, exterior features and decorative façades across the UK, provided the surface is stable and properly prepared.
Where Can Split Face Tiles Be Used?
Split face tiles can be used in both outdoor and indoor applications. Externally, they are commonly installed on garden walls, exterior feature walls, façades and entrance areas across the UK.
Internally, they are suitable for feature walls in living spaces, kitchens and selected bathroom areas, including shower walls where appropriate installation methods are used.
Do Split Face Tiles Need Sealing?
For exterior split face tile installations, sealing is generally recommended. Outdoor stone cladding is exposed to rain, frost, dirt, algae and regular weather changes, so a breathable natural stone sealer can help reduce water absorption and make the surface easier to maintain.
For interior use, sealing depends on the room. In kitchens, bathrooms, shower rooms and other areas with moisture, steam or splashes, sealing is also recommended. In living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and other dry interior spaces, sealing is usually optional rather than essential.
Always test the sealer on a small area first. Choose a breathable stone sealer that keeps the split face tiles looking natural, rather than making the stone appear dark, glossy or coated.
What Surface Should Split Face Tiles Be Installed On?
For best results, split face tiles should be installed on solid and stable surfaces such as concrete, brickwork, cement render or suitable tile backer boards. Due to their weight, they are not generally recommended for direct installation onto standard plasterboard. For a full step-by-step guide, please refer to How to Correctly Install Split Face Tiles.
