Natural Stone Care Recommendation: Due to the porous characteristics of natural stone, sealing is strongly recommended. Proper sealing helps reduce staining, simplifies maintenance, and preserves the natural beauty of the stone surface.

Important Sealing Information: Using an enhancing sealer will darken the color of these stones. A penetrating sealer is recommended prior to installation to help protect the stone while maintaining its natural appearance.

Recommended Installation Surfaces:

• Properly cured mortar beds - ANSI A108.1B (minimum 7 days cured)
• Cementitious backer units (CBU) - ANSI A118.9
• Concrete slabs cured for a minimum of 28 days
• Gypsum board for dry areas only - ASTM C1396 or ASTM C1396M-04
• ANSI A108A-2.1.8 membrane required behind all CBU installations in wet areas

Setting Materials & Installation Notes:

• Use setting materials that meet or exceed TCNA guidelines
• Installation should be performed by qualified professionals experienced with mosaic products
• Setting methods should conform to current TCNA guidelines
• Setting material requirements may vary depending on substrate and installation conditions
• Consult your tile and stone professional regarding appropriate installation materials

Grout & Sealing Recommendations:

• Pre-sealing prior to grouting is recommended for all stone mosaics
• Always verify grout compatibility before installation
• Consult your grout manufacturer, installer, or tile professional when selecting grout products
• Proper sealing helps preserve the natural beauty and longevity of the stone surface
