INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Grout joints should be packed full and free of voids and pits. Clean excess grout as the work
progresses before it has hardens completely. After grouting, wipe of excess surface grout
with a slightly damp sponge - do not over wash. Aer inial wash has been allowed to haze,
wipe once with minimal pressure at a 45-degree angle to joints and rinse sponge aer
wiping once with each side. Any remaining haze can be bued o with a dry towel or
cheesecloth aer grout surface has dried suciently. Grout joints should be a minimum of
1/16” and not bu set. Clean excess grout as the work progresses before it has hardened
completely. In the event that a grout haze forms, you can use an acid-free remover such as
Deterdek to remove it. Acids should never be used for cleaning grout haze.
SEAL
Aer the stone le is installed, and grouted, seal the stone with an appropriate high quality
breathable stone sealer, to minimize water absorpon, eorescence, and potenal staining.
We recommend a polished sealer for polished stone. If necessary, a color enhancer may be
applied to bring out the true color of the stone at any me aer groung. Follow sealer
manufacturer's installaon instrucons. Reseal le when the stone gets darker or as needed.
