Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are honed tiles?

A honed tile finish offers a low-sheen alternative to a polished surface, with a matte, satin appearance. The tile’s smooth, consistent texture bears no cutting or sanding marks. Honed marble tiles are quite popular at Apollo Tile, and offer a modern and contemporary quality to any place they find home.

2. Where can I use honed floor tile?

Our customers appreciate honed tiles not only for their unique, consistent, and contemporary aesthetic but also for being a practical addition to the home. They work well on the shower wall and floor, kitchen backsplash, living area, steam room, and even the patio. Beyond the residential space, this stunning tiling finish adds a modern and functional touch to restaurants, bars, spas, salons, hotels, and many more commercial and public spaces.

3. Are honed floor tiles slippery?

In reality, all tiles are slippery when wet so care should always be taken. It is worth noting that our honed tiles have a slip-resistant property and do not pose any danger of slipping when in contact with water, humidity, and steam. Check “Area of Use” to identify which product fits your specific project.

4. Do I need to seal my honed tiles?

It is not a requirement to seal ceramic walls and floor tiles. Marble, on the other hand, isn’t 100% non-porous and therefore stain and moisture sensitive. We recommend sealing marble during installation and every 6-12 months after. A sealant provides a protective barrier that stops water- and oil-based stains in their tracks.

5. Why use honed peel and stick tile?

Our easy-to-install peel-and-stick tiling material is a DIY enthusiast's dream! Whether you own or rent, self-adhesive tiles offer an instant upgrade at a fraction of the cost. Easy installation and minimal upkeep—no special tools or professional help needed. Choose a design you like and you’re well on your way to a gorgeous makeover.

6. Can I DIY install hone tiles?

With proper guidelines, installing tiles yourself is possible! Start with the necessary preparation to ensure a durable and long-lasting tile design. Before attaching tiles, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and stable. Use good-quality adhesive and grouting for a professional finish you’ll enjoy for years.

Measure and mark your layout from the center of your installation surface then use a towel to spread and even out the adhesive. Attach the first tile and press it down into the adhesive using your hand or rubber mallet. Repeat this step, using tile spacers between joints for uniform gaps.

As you approach the edges, cut tile down to size using a wet saw with a diamond blade. Give your tile edges a professional finish with a tile trim. Explore our range of bullnose, pencil liner, baseboard, or chair rail tile trims to find the perfect closing detail. Once you’ve laid your tiles, remove the spacers and allow the adhesive to dry for at least 24 hours.

Move on to filling the tile joints with grout—removing excess from the tile surface with a damp sponge. Allow the grout to dry, then clean with a wet sponge and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

7. How do I keep my floor tiles clean?

Honed-finish tiles are fairly easy to maintain and live with. A light brush or hoover and a soft mop with a mild tile cleaner will retain your floors’ subtle character. Likewise, a clean wipe will keep wall tiles looking as good as new. For honed natural stone tile, we recommend a cleaner that will not strip the surface of the sealer but instead enhance its longevity.
