Beaumont Tiles Microtec

I wish these reviews had existed before we decided to tile a number of our indoor areas with Micro tech tiles about 18 months ago. Having young kids, we were drawn to the non-slip qualities and were well aware that they might take a little more upkeep than traditional tiles. They look great when first installed. These however are near impossible… Read more

to keep clean even with regular mopping, and it is particularly bad with light colored tiles. Luckily we went for a darker colour in wet areas so the dirt is not as obvious. The dirt gets very stuck to the tile due to the texture, and the cleaning agents posted on other reviews do not help this. The only way we have found to clean them is to manually get down on hands and knees and scrub with a lot of effort with a textured cloth/sponge. See the attached photo for how filthy they get. Wiping does not get the dirt off (ie Mop) neither do bristled brushes. Have tried multiple cleaning products and mops. The most effective has been a steam mop with rotating pads, but even this only helps to a certain degree.

Unless you plan on cleaning these tiles every time you walk on them, avoid and look to other options. The link to the microtech documentation and cleaning products will no doubt be posted below this review as per others. They do not work even if closely followed - for us anyhow.

We are now left with the decision to put up with them or rip them up and put something else down at significant cost - noting the cost to install these not that long ago. They are not fit-for-purpose for indoor areas. We don't have them outdoors so can't comment on this. At least outdoors you could take a high pressure sprayer to them (but I bet that would go against recommendations).

Have previously written a review on Microtec tiles which I gave 1 star because they are IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean. My whole lower part of the house has this tile and has caused me nothing but frustration. The tile is now nearly 2 years old and is so stained with ground in dirt. I notice it when I scrub a small section of it and it becomes its… Read more

original colour. Have rung Beaumont's in the past and even emailed the Chinese company I was given the address of. No answers. The lady at Beaumont's even said "Oh we have never had any complaints about the tile". Eventually i went into a Beaumont's store and a lovely young lady asked if the tiles were cleaned with a Beaumont product after they were laid. I said I didn't know as we had a builder. Anyway we bought their product. I went home and cleaned my kitchen with it. We couldn't believe the change. The look like new. I then emailed our builder and they have offered to come and do our floors for us. The rest of the house will be done in about 3 weeks and we shall see how the tiles go after that. Will keep you all informed. Attached a before and after cleaning shot.

I just came across this Microtec specific page so I thought I’d copy and paste my review from Beaumont tiles page so hopefully no one else destroyed their house with these awful tiles. Microtec tiles – I wish there had been the reviews on Microtec tiles when I purchased them. I bought Microtec because they are non slip and I have a child with a… Read more

disability who was constantly slipping over on our previous tiles. The Microtec tiles looked absolutely beautiful after installation and are indeed non slip. They are also impossible to keep clean. Dirt just sticks to them and they end up looking a disgusting brown. I vacuum twice a day, followed all instructions re cleaners - lithofin cement residue remover after installation, lithofin intensive cleaner when the tiles are very dirty and lithofin vitraclean twice a week. They are still gross. I even bought a commercial tile scrubber to get them clean….. didn’t work. These tiles are just not suitable for use anywhere. They. Do. Not. Clean. They look beautiful on the showroom wall, but you will regret it if you buy them for your house.

Difficult to clean – Purchased microtech tile from Beaumont for outdoor area (under cover) near pool- so required non slip however, whilst safe to walk on cleaning is a nightmare. Extremely porous, absorbs dirt/dust and need scrubbing brush and detergent to remove. May need to apply sealer of some kind. I don’t recommend this product. Show details

Microtec Tiles is NIGHTMARE to clean – I bought microtec tiles for my whole ground Floor, toilet and bathroom floor.. Thinking it's good for my kids because of its Anti slip feature... My oh My.. It's an absolute night mare to clean.. Attracts dirt from absolutely everything and stays in the tiles.. Mops get stuck. I ma so angry that I visited the Beaumont tiles may be 5 times to make this purchase... And not a single salesperson warned me about this issue
