The mixture of color is always carefully controlled and monitored to maintain the highest level of consistency. Although careful steps are taken to insure a high level of color consistency, slight color variations can still occur especially in different lot numbers
Material & Finish
Construction
Stone is agglomerated with resin and pigments via vibro-compression, casting the ingredients into a slab. Grading and polishing processes follow. Tiles are cut from slabs
Available in custom colors, tile sizes, particle sizes, textures, and finishes. Waterjet cutting and sublimnation printing are also available for further personalization. For slabs, custom production requires a minimum order of 10,000 sqft. Stair treads/risers, window sills, vanity tops and other pieces are available cut to size
Use high-performance cement based monocomponent adhesives for tile installation in areas not subject to significant mechanical and/or thermal stress. When installing tiles larger than 40 x 40cm it is better to use bi-component high performance flexible cement based adhesives (cementitious adhesive and latex). When installing tiles in areas subject to mechanical and/or thermal stress, use polyurethane based bi-component highly flexible adhesives. Refer to Synoptic Chart of the Adhesives for Interior Installation document for information.
Suitable Substrates
Concrete, CBU, gypsum wall surfaces, exterior-grade plywood, or old terrazzo or ceramic tile in interior spaces

Maintenance
For daily maintenance, use a damp cloth and a neutral pH detergent. Avoid acidic or highly alkaline detergents. Thoroughly rinse the surface with water and dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. Products specifically designed for natural stone surfaces can also be utilized. For commerical flooring applications, cleaning machines are generally used for large areas.
