KEY PAGES & TECHNICAL
General information about stone Things you should know about stone Stone is a lifestyle choice. It represents who you are. It s a good choice too, as it is strong, stable and exudes an organic feel that can create a timeless presence in any room. Stone really is the perfect example of how Mother Nature can produce such beautiful things. When you stroke the smooth surface of natural stone remember to appreciate that its process actually began millions of years ago, deep beneath the surface of the earth. Before you fall in love with our range of natural stone it may be worth learning a bit more about the nature of stone. It s an article that details how stone is made and tips on maintaining it. All stones are different You need to expect the unexpected as no one tile will be the same as the other. Each tile will exhibit natural and geological variations occurring in terms of colour, markings, texture, and movement in background. These elements may vary from batch to batch. This unpredictability also effects the current production techniques which means even sizes can t be exactly as specified, therefore tolerance levels are set in manufacturing processes. Samples are for guidance not insurance Use samples as a guide, not as a guarantee of colour. Samples may not always show full characteristics of a particular stone. For instance, if you are buying a multi-coloured slate, and purchasing it off only a 10x10 sample, you will be quite surprised to see the 85
full display of different colouring inherent in that particular stone. Therefore, we suggest you look at an array of samples or tiles before you purchase stone. prior to installation to be able to assess any colour variation present. To check this, it may be necessary to place a tile in front of a direct heat source to see the true colour of the stone when it is totally dry. All stone tiles will need sealing Have you considered your wastage? Natural tiles are to a greater or lesser extent porous and need to be impregnated (or sealed). Impregnator will fill all the tiny, small voids/holes that we cannot see in the structure of the stone, which will in turn prevent any other liquids from being absorbed. This way, the stain will sit on top of the surface and will be easy to wipe off. Why is my stone soaking wet? Stone tiles are always packed in wet conditions at the factory and cannot properly dry out until unpacked; they will lighten in colour as they dry. It is therefore essential that all tiles are completely dry Always calculate wastage for each project before ordering, for instance minor damage can occur to some stones during transportation, site handling, site cutting and grading. We always recommend an additional 10% to allow for wastage. Our sales staff can help you work this out. Some corners might be chipped As much as you don t want to hear that some of your delivery may be chipped, it does happen. Some stones are easily scratched and/or are subject to pitting/chipping. Especially soft limestones will be susceptible to transportation and handling. No 86
matter what you do, you will get some tiles with minor chippings, scratches etc. Don t worry, as you will always have tiles to cut, so spare them for cutting. Also, some marbles like crema marfil (English translation cream marble) are hard but very fragile. This results in many of them breaking during production. To prevent this, crema marfil manufacturers will employ a technique called mesh backing/gluing. With this technique, a special thick chemical solution will be applied on the back of the tile to make it more stable. Sometimes you may see some tiles looking cracked, however they just look like that due to its nature and it is okay. Some pitting/voids on the surface are very rarely seen as well, these are considered minor imperfections, and they are also okay. From time to time due to these unpreventable but natural characteristics of certain stones, we may deliver extra quantities up to 5% for each order if we think these imperfections might create a problem in terms of fitting. Blend, blend, blend Sometimes, your order might be from different batches. So, we strongly recommend all tiles be blended before installation. Whilst sorting tiles to ensure suitable blending, normal practice calls for segregation of tiles with minor damages or some unusual markings. They can be used where cut tiles are required, or in less visible locations. The installer must have an understanding of blending requirements or special patterns as part of their skills. 87
