Not recommended in wet areas. |  |
Can be used in interior wet areas, if sealed and maintained properly. If not properly maintained, the stone look could be altered. Please contact your sealer manufacturer or your Daltile sales representative for information about products that can protect the stone from moisture exposure. |  |
Might contain dry seams, pits, fossils and glass veins that are filled at the factory or during installation. These are all inherent characteristics of the stone. Since these voids can sometimes lose their fillings, they should be refilled as part of normal maintenance. |
 |
A sealer is recommended. (Note: Some limestone and tumbled stone should be sealed prior to grouting.) |  |
NULLThese stones contain deposits of minerals and iron that may react to moisture. Stone bleeding or rusting is a common example of this. These stones should not be used in installtions where they would be exposed to standing, run off water or too much humidity. A sealer is strongly recommended but will not prevent the chemical reaction from happening. Please contact your sealer manufacturer for information about products that can protect the stone from moisture exposure. |  |
White thin-set or mortar is recommended. |
 |
Install with a non-staining epoxy. Do not use any water based setting material with these stones. | ||||
