Installation and Care Tips
Use a suitable adhesive and grout for ceramic or porcelain wall tiles, and check the product is rated for use near hobs and other heat sources.
Choose grout colours that complement yellow tiles: white grout gives a fresh contrast, while light grey can help hide everyday marks. Plan your tile layout before fixing anything.
Wipe up splashes quickly, clean with mild detergents, and avoid abrasive pads on glossy or onyx-effect surfaces to keep them looking their best.
- Order extra tiles to allow for cuts and waste
- Keep a few spare tiles for future repairs
- Seal grout lines if recommended for your chosen tile
- Always follow product-specific fitting instructions
