Tile Failure - Why does it happen?

Tile failure can be extremely costly, often necessitating the replacement of both the tiles and the substrate behind them when traditional materials are used. However, with 12.5mm Aquapanel Indoor, tile or grout failure typically requires only a simple localized repair since water ingress does not damage the tile backing.

Tile failure occurs when moisture penetrates the substrate due to:

1. Water spills during plumbing installation
2. Unseen leaks in pipework within the wall
3. High-pressure water from power showers damaging grout and allowing water seepage
4. Condensation along pipework within the wall soaking into the substrate
