Professional Installation Guide
Understanding Your Material
This is a natural stone characterized by distinctive fossilized patterns in ash-gray tones. The "leathered" finish is a textured treatment that enhances the stone's character, provides a soft sheen, and offers improved slip resistance. Note that this finish can increase porosity; handle tiles carefully to prevent edge chipping.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Success begins with thorough preparation.
- Substrate Inspection: Ensure the installation surface is structurally sound, rigid, flat (within -inch over -feet), clean, and completely dry.
- Material Acclimatization: Unpack all tiles and allow them to acclimate to the room's temperature and humidity for - hours before installation.
- Dry Layout & Blending: Conduct a dry layout without adhesive to finalize the pattern, blend variations from different boxes for consistency.
- Gather Materials: Confirm you have high-quality flexible thin-set mortar for natural stone appropriate grout sealant suitable for leathered marble spacers and specialized diamond blades/wet saws.
Best Practices for Installation
Follow these techniques for flawless results.
Adhesive Application:
Use the correct trowel notch size per manufacturer guidelines Apply mortar evenly on both the substrate and the back of each tile back-buttering) to ensure coverage.
Setting & Alignment:
Set tiles firmly with a slight twist Use leveling systems especially with large-format tiles) to maintain even surfaces minimize lippage.
Grouting & Cleanup:
After mortar cures apply grout Remove excess haze promptly but gently with non-abrasive tools avoid scratching texture.
Final Sealing & Client Care Instructions
Protect your installation long-term.
Sealing Application:
After grout fully cures apply an impregnating sealer designed calcareous stone like marble Test in inconspicuous area first Apply two thin coats per instructions better than one thick coat.
Client Handover:
Provide clear maintenance guidelines:
Use pH-neutral cleaners only Wipe spills immediately especially acidic substances Use coasters on countertops Reapply sealer as recommended typically every years depending on use).
