N AT U R A L S T O N E C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E G U I D E Daltile does not manufacture installation products or tile cleaning/maintenance products. Daltile provides the information below to its customers as an information source only. Please contact an installation product manufacturer directly, PRIOR to usage, to obtain proper handling instructions, application instruction and warnings concerning potential health hazards for any product contemplated for use.
N AT U R A L S T O N E C A R E A N D M A I N T E N A N C E G U I D E ( C O N T I N U E D ) Proper Bedding Area: Natural stones are more vulnerable to cracking as a result of voids in the setting bed than most ceramic products. Back-buttering of the stone tile is essential, and the minimum acceptable bedding area is 95% contact with no voids exceeding 2 in² and no voids within 2” of tile corners on 3/8” tile.
S P E C I A L L I M E S T O N E I N S TA L L AT I O N G U I D E This installation guide applies to the following stones for horizontal and vertical applications: Matterhorn Limestone L011 Chadwick Charcoal Limestone L015 Lagos Blue Limestone L983 Limestones are natural stone products and due to their natural characteristics it is important that the proper installation materials and methods are used.
S P E C I A L L I M E S T O N E I N S TA L L AT I O N G U I D E C O N T I N U E D Clean the back of the tile and the substrate during the installation process. The thin-set adhesive must be applied to the cleaned substrate surface to be tiled and to the back of the tile with the flat side of trowel using a firm scraping motion to key the thin-set into the surface to be covered.
