Installation Guide

Adhering small pieces
Use tube adhesive for small cut pieces of Aspect stone that are less than a third of a
full tile.
Removing tiles
If a tile needs to be removed, apply heat with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive.
Use a putty knife on the back side and slowly apply outward pressure to release the
tile from the wall. The adhesive is engineered to not be removed so caution should
be taken to not damage the wall. Any removed tiles may be unusable. ACP is not
responsible or liable if you damage your walls. If the adhesive is destroyed but the
tile face is ne, you can try using PL Premium
®
adhesive to reapply the tile.
Sealing Options
Using stone sealers or impregnators is not required. They will provide some protection
from staining, but can alter the appearance of our stone tiles. See images below.
Impregnators, such as Miracle Sealants
®
511 Impregnator, retain the natural
appearance as much as possible, offering moderate stain protection. Follow
manufacturer’s directions.
Sealers/Enhancers, such as Miracle Sealants
®
1-Step Natural Stone Sealer and Color
Enhancer, slightly darkens color, looks wet, has a gloss nish and provides the best
stain protection. Follow manufacturer’s directions.
Cleaning
Wash the tiles as needed using a mild liquid dish detergent mixed with warm water.
A soft brush may help remove debris. Rinse the stone tiles with clean water, and dry
with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. If you need a more aggressive cleaner, use a
stone cleaner available at any home center. Do not use cleaners that contain lemon or
vinegar, as these ingredients can cause etching.
Spalling
Aspect stone tiles will naturally ake. For 2-3 months after installation, small pieces
may ake off the tiles. This is called “spalling,” and is a natural process that occurs
as the stone tiles acclimate to a new environment. Lightly sweep the akes from the
surface to help release any chips. The spalling will stop once the stone tiles have
settled.
Scratch removal
If the stone tiles get scratched, the mark can be disguised by applying mineral oil to
the scratch and the surrounding area of tile. Clean the slate with a mild detergent and
dry it thoroughly. Use a soft cloth to apply the mineral oil, rubbing it into the scratch
area until it disappears.
Care after Installation
As with ALL natural stone products, there is some inherent risk of staining, scratching
or other problems as a result of material and/or environmental variables.
