Installation

Product must be installed in accordance with the current TCNA Handbook Stone Methods. Always inspect all materials prior to installation — claims will not be accepted after a product has been installed. Natural stone requires proper blending, as variation from piece to piece is inherent to all stone products. Color, veining, shading, and pattern differences naturally occur across batches and within the same order.

Performing a blended dry layout before installation is essential to achieve the best visual result. This step is standard practice in all professional tile and stone installations. Some natural stone materials may include epoxy or mesh backing, which may require the use of epoxy-based or polymer-modified thinset mortars to ensure proper bond strength. Always consult your installer or setting material manufacturer for the appropriate installation materials.

Stone must be sealed before and after grouting with a penetrating sealer and maintained regularly. Clean stone surfaces with a non-abrasive, mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Do not use bleach, acidic cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as acids from food or cleaning agents can permanently etch natural stone. Spills or tracked debris should be cleaned promptly.

Floors should be routinely swept with a soft-bristle broom, vacuumed without a beater brush, and damp-mopped after removing loose debris. Natural stones — including marble, limestone, travertine, onyx, and granite — are products of nature. No two pieces are identical. Variations such as fissures, pits, open seams, fossils, glass veins, and absorption differences are natural characteristics, not defects. These characteristics may require periodic maintenance, including resealing.
