There is nothing quite like it. When you encounter the idea mosaic, nothing else even comes close. More than just color, tone, texture and complexity, our mosaics must possess a certain character that elevates it and brings it to life. Richness, depth, a soul.

Installation Guidelines Product Care PREPARATION SETTING SYSTEMS DAILY PREVENTATIVE Counter tops: Regular cleaning should be performed with warm water or a neutral cleaner. Clean up spills immediately. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids on marble. Do not use scouring powders or abrasives. CLEANING The outcome and longevity of your Quintessa Mosaics is dependent on the proper installation by a skilled professional fabricator/tile installer and consistency of the substrate surface. All of the products in our collection should be installed by a professional that is knowledgeable of the proper tools and techniques for working with natural stone, ceramic and glass products. Such as the thorough inspection of materials to be used. Properly dry laying and blending the tiles to ensure appropriate variation. Experience with setting materials, grout, sealers, enhancers, etc. Our Quintessa Mosaics representatives can provide general information for the installation of our products.

Flooring: Protect flooring with non slip mats or rugs and counter tops with coasters or place mats. Dry dust mop interior floors regularly using a clean mop. Exterior walkways and steps should be kept clear of debris and washed with water. Bath and wet areas: Minimize soap scum with squeegee after use. Remove soap scum with non acidic soap scum remover. If outdoors use a mild bleach solution to remove algae or moss stains. SEALING In some cases it makes sense to properly seal for protection against dirt, spills and everyday use. In other cases, the stone is best left untreated. Multiple factors should be considered when determining if the stone should be sealed: Oil Based Stains - Grease, cooking oil, cosmetics will darken the stone and normally must be chemically dissolved to allow for the stains source to be rinsed away. Clean Gently with a soft liquid cleanser or household detergent. Organic Stains - Coffee, tea, fruit, food, urine, bird droppings May cause pinkish-brown stains and may disappear after the source of the stain is removed. Outdoors normal sun and rain interaction will bleach out stains. Indoors, clean with 12% hydrogen peroxide and a small amount of ammonia. Metal Stains - Iron, rust, copper Iron or rust stains are orange to brown in color and leave remnants of the source shape. Copper and bronze appear as green or muddy brown. Metal stains must be removed with a poultice. Biological stains - Algae, mildew, moss Clean with a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 1 gallon of water. Ink Stains - Magic marker, pen, ink Clean light colored stones with bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Use acetone or lacquer thinner on dark colored stones. Paint Stains Small amounts can be removed with lacquer thinner or carefully with a razor blade. Heavy paint should be removed with a commercial paint stripper. Water spots and rings Buff dry with 0000 steel wool. The location and use of the stone (counter top, floor, wall, exterior, bathroom, etc.). Will the sealant effect the color of the stone? Does the stone have resin and how will the sealant react? What is the finish of the stone? Food prep areas may need a impregnator type sealer that is safe for foods There are generally two types of sealers available for use: Fire and smoke damage Fireplaces may require a thorough cleaning to revive appearance. Commercial smoke revival products are available. This document is a general guideline. Quintessa Mosaics have neither liability nor responsibility to any person, company or entity for any misuse, misapplication that causes loss, damage or personal injury directly or indirectly by information contained in this document. Topical - Designed to protect the surface of the stone against water, oil and other contaminates. When applied, the maintenance program shifts from stone care to maintaining the sealer. Impregnator - Designed to become a repellent and generally water and oil repelling. Impregnators keep contaminates out, but do not stop the interior moisture from escaping. They are considered breathable. Contact your fabricator or stone professional for further guidance on sealing 48 49
