Finish, edges and variation

Ariston uses rectified edges, meaning the tile is finished with a precise square edge. For Ariston, this supports a tighter, more controlled grout joint and a clean grid when the substrate, layout and installation allow.

Ariston has moderate variation, so noticeable differences in tone, texture or pattern are part of the intended appearance. Before installing Ariston, open several boxes and blend pieces across the layout so the finished surface distributes that movement naturally.

Keep Ariston within the suitable area listed above rather than assuming every tile can be used outside. Confirm the exact Ariston colour, size and finish against the intended installation before ordering.

Tone, pattern, texture and sizing can shift between pieces and production batches of Ariston, while screens can alter colour. Request an Ariston sample where available, then order enough from one batch for the complete area.

Coordinate Ariston with our Tiles, Bathroom Vanities and Bathroom Tapware collections.

Care and Maintenance

Tiles ask very little, and the routine matters more than the product. Regular sweeping and washing stops grit building up, protects the surface finish and makes a deep clean far less of a job.

Based on the guidance in AS 3958.1–2007, Appendix C. General advice only — tile types, finishes and installation conditions vary. If you are not sure what suits your tiles, check with a qualified tiler.

Everyday cleaning
  • Sweep or vacuum before you mop. Loose grit is what scratches a floor, not foot traffic.
  • Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaner.
  • Rinse with clean water and do not let the cleaner dry on the tile — residue is what causes streaks and dulls a finish.
  • Wipe spills as they happen. Grout takes up a spill faster than the tile does.
Occasional deep clean
  • Use a high-alkaline detergent, above pH 9, for greasy build-up in kitchens and entries.
  • On textured or structured tiles, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before scrubbing so it can work into the surface.
  • Steam or pressure cleaning can be used from time to time.
  • Always finish with a clean water rinse.
After a new floor is laid
  • Let the grout cure for as long as your tiler specifies before washing the floor properly.
  • A light film of grout haze is normal. It needs the right product to remove — ask your tiler rather than reaching for a household cleaner.
  • Keep mats and rugs off a new floor until the adhesive and grout have fully cured.
Keeping it that way
  • Mats at every external door, including wherever pets come in and out.
  • More cleaning product is not better. Over-applying leaves a residue that holds dirt.
  • Skip household soaps. They leave a film that reads as slippery and dull.
  • Felt pads under furniture legs, and lift rather than drag anything heavy.
  • If rinsing is awkward, use a no-rinse detergent instead of leaving residue behind.
Safe to use, and what to avoid

Safe to use

  • pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaners for everyday use
  • Soft brushes and non-abrasive cleaning pads
  • High-alkaline detergent, occasionally, for grease
  • Proprietary abrasive cleaners on unglazed tile only

Avoid

  • Acidic cleaners — they attack grout and haze a glazed surface
  • Abrasive pads on glazed tile
  • Overusing high-alkaline detergent
  • Scrubbing machines fitted with coarse pads
  • Wax and oil-based polishes
