Frequently Asked Questions about WOW Tiles
- What is the WOW Tiles collection?
WOW Tiles is a European ceramics and porcelain brand known for combining architectural vision with decorative flair. The brand offers artistic, contemporary, and distinctive tile collections with a focus on texture, shape, pattern and detailed finishes. Their collections cover wall tiles, floor tiles, decorative motifs and pattern ranges. Spacers is proud to be a retailer and exhibitor of WOW Tiles in the UK market.
- What types of tiles does the WOW range include?
The WOW range includes:
Porcelain body floor tiles in various shapes (trapezium, chevron, hexa, triangle) and neutral tones, suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
Decorative and patterned wall tiles in numerous collections (Drops, Duo, Faces, Fez, Gradient, London Calling etc)
Special finishes and shapes with textured surfaces, reliefs or edge pieces to create visual interest and bespoke designs
Tiles suited for interior walls, floors and some outdoor/wetarea uses where specifications allow
The brand emphasises design versatility, so you can mix base tiles with decorative or accent pieces for creative layouts.
- Where are WOW Tiles best used (walls, floors, interiors, exteriors)?
WOW Tiles are designed for multiple uses:
- Interior walls – many collections are ideal for full wall coverage, feature walls, bathrooms, showers, wet rooms
- Floors – the porcelain body tile lines are suitable for floor use, including residential and light commercial areas
- Exterior surfaces / outdoor – certain porcelain lines are rated for outdoor use, depending on slip resistance, frost rating and technical performance
- Wet areas / showers / pools – some WOW tile ranges are rated for use in showers or indoor/outdoor wet zones, provided correct substructure, drainage and sealing are applied
When specifying tiles for exterior or wet applications, technical data (slip rating, frost resistance, water absorption) must be checked.
- How do I choose between different WOW tile collections?
Choosing a collection depends on the following:
- Application (wall vs floor vs exterior) – not all collections are made for all uses
- Shape and format – WOW offers geometric and nonrectangular shapes (e.g. trapezium, hexa, chevron) which influence layout and complexity
- Finish and surface texture – matt, gloss, relief, textured surfaces give very different visual and tactile effects
- Colour palette and tones – many collections are offered in neutral or contemporary shades that work across interiors
- Pattern or decorative pieces – mixing plain tiles with decorative motifs or relief patterns can add interest
- Technical performance – for floor or exterior use, ensure you pick ranges with suitable slip resistance, frost rating and durability
Our showroom teams can help you compare collections side by side and visualise how they’d look in your project.
- Can WOW Tiles be installed by a DIYer or do I need a professional?
Although a skilled DIYer may install tile, we recommend using a professional tile contractor for WOW Tiles, especially for complex shapes or decorative layouts. Key requirements include:
A correctly prepared, flat, level subfloor or wall substrate
Use of appropriate adhesives, grouts, waterproofing membranes if needed
Accurate layout, especially when dealing with geometric, angled or relief tiles
Proper cutting, alignment, and finishing at edges, trims and transitions
Due to the artistic nature of many WOW designs, error margins are small, so professional installation helps ensure the visual effect is executed perfectly.
- How do I maintain and clean WOW Tiles?
OK maintenance is fairly straightforward:
Sweep or vacuum surface to remove grit and dust
Use a damp mop or cloth with a pHneutral tile cleaner (avoid acidic or abrasive agents)
For textured or relief tiles, use soft brushes to clean grooves gently
Clean spills promptly to avoid staining or residue
For walls, a mild detergent solution is usually sufficient, rinsed well
Avoid harsh chemicals, acids, bleach or scourers
Your showroom can recommend compatible cleaning and maintenance products specifically for your chosen WOW tile finish.
- Can individual WOW tiles be replaced if damaged?
Yes, in many cases individual tiles can be removed and replaced, provided a matching tile from the same range and batch is available. This modular replacement helps with longterm upkeep, particularly in heavily used areas. We recommend retaining extra tiles when placing your order to cover future repairs or replacements.
- What are the main cost factors when specifying WOW Tiles?
The cost is influenced by:
The tile collection and design complexity
The shape, format and special cuts (angled or relief tiles cost more)
The finish (textured, relief, decorative)
The area size and layout complexity
Substrate preparation, membrane or waterproofing
Adhesive, grout, extras (trim, edge pieces)
Labour / tiler costs (especially for curved or geometric layout work)
Transport, handling, wastage allowance
At Spacers, we provide free quotations to show you how each factor contributes to the total cost.
