Hi ,
I've laid some Q rock tiles on a wetroom floor in my own place. They are black. The box suggested they should be sealed. They are textured porcelain so I asked Topps and they stated they didn't need sealing. The floors been down now about 6-8 weeks and they seem to occasionally have a staining on them that needs to be washed off regularly. Is there anything I can use to seal or impregnate them with to combat the staining? I put the biege Q rock on the walls and they were a pig to clean off as well. Even if they are textured should they have been sealed?

There is a definate problem with these Q rock tiles.I have recently laid approx 80m2 over 3 jobs.There is a film on the tile and i have had this confirmed from Topps who are looking into this for me.If you get a tile straight out of the box and rub it with your fingers it leaves a white residue that at the moment nobody seems to have the answer to a)why it appears and b)how to get rid off.Topps guy told me that a sealer was put on to prevent scratching in transit.They have already received complaints and to be fair to them have got straight back to me as they realise this could be a big problem giving the amount they sell
I agree eith this.I too have recently laid a lot of q rock beige and black and getting the grout off has been a real problem.I have tried all kinds of cleaner and tried sealing them first but to no avail.I have stopped buying them which is a shame because 1) they look good 2)they are cheap 3)they will last forever. If topps come up with any problem with them i would like to know as my store is still pushing them
Hi fellas.
You've got me worried!
I've ordered 33 sq/m of Q rock, 30x60, black & ivory from Homebase (30% off).
I plan to do the kitchen & hall and then place the same tiles onto the downstairs toilet walls.
I want to use a charcoal grout as I think this will set it all off better, or am I being silly?
Anyway, will the grout stain the tiles, especially the ivory?
What do you experts recommend I should do before I make a right mess of it?
Also, who makes the Q rock? and couldn't they give some advice?
Many thanks.
Thanks for that Pete.
So they don't need to be sealed before grouting then?
What's this residue remover called and where do you get it? Also, do you go over tiles
and grout with it? Can't you tell I'm a novice :lol:
Actually, on the invoice it says:
Vision Ivory R62 30x60 (article No. )
Vision Black R63 30X60 (article No. )
But I'm sure I saw Q-rock on the shelf price ticket.
They are porcelain tiles.
Thanks.
Pete
You have put my mind at ease as i have a few jobs with these tiles on.Could you confirm how you found out about the wax coating(this should be stated on the box)and also how you knew how to remove(is this just your experience or did you get advice).Does this have to carried out again and finally mate are you happy with the finish.Does it look as good as a new tiled floor should(regardless of the costof the tile)
Thanks
