Self-leveling system being used for floor installation Example of proper full mortar coverage
The setting material manufacturers have vast experience in the installation of porcelain tiles and large
porcelain panels. Accordingly, we strongly recommend that the installer should contact the relevant setting
material manufacturers and seek their advice prior to installation of our large porcelain panels.
(See referenced manufacturers page 11 for contact details).
It is very important to spread thin set the same direction on both the substrate and the panel, the shortest
direction of panels. Recommended thin sets are: LFT by Mapei, Prolite by Custom, 254 Platinum by Laticrete, and
x77 Walls & x78 Floors by Ardex. (See referenced manufacturers page 11 for contact details). Place tile
into the fresh mortar and firmly press to cause the ridges to flatten out and come together into a continuous
void-free bed. Install desired spacers/levelers of preferred grout joint design width.
NOTE: Recommended 1/8” grout joint width should be maintained throughout the entire installation.
Countertop seams can be butted.
Polymer added sanded and unsanded grout, epoxy grout, silicone, or polyurethane can be used to fill the
joints. If using epoxy grout, make sure to follow proper cleaning instruction within the manufacturers’
specific time frame.
StonePeak does not guarantee nor does it recommend a particular method of installation. It is the responsibility of the
installer/buyer to design and install the tiling system based on the advice obtained from the setting material
manufacturer.
