Interior Installation (above grade)
Structure must be sound -minimal flexing- and sufficient to carry weight factor.
We recommend a 3/8" mortar board mechanically applied to the sub floor.
Thin set as recommended above.
Spacers
We strongly recommend using spacers. Our product is flat and dimensionally consistent, normally within 1/4". While smaller joints can work with single shape patterns, a random pattern requires a 3/4" joint.
Cleaning
Soil will stain the surface of the tiles. If landscaping follows installation of tiles, we strongly recommend protecting tile surface with some form of sheeting. This makes the clean up prior to sealing much easier and preserves the inherent qualities of your tile.
We recommend a mild detergent and scrub brush.
DO NOT use a power washer or acid to clean your tile.
A VERY WEAK acid solution is acceptable if professionally administered.
Sealing
We recommend that you seal your Hartstone tiles to protect them from staining and for ease of maintenance. See more.. |
