INSTALLATION TIPS If you've chosen one of these natural stones for your project, here are some useful installation tips:
- Using the right adhesiveUsing the wrong adhesive can cause tiles not only to lift over, but could also cause a hazard. You may need to consider your choice of grout to accommodate and we recommend adhesives that do not contain water.
- Clean surface When installing Pedra Hijau or any other natural stone tiles, your surface should be clean, and removed of any existing coating such as paint or wax.
- Natural stone expands All natural stone tilesexpands when hot and contracts when cool. When these natural tiles, it is important not to leave them in the sun beforehand, as they can expand by several millimetres. For example: when you prepare your pool or work area, make sure it is also sheltered, so that your tiles are not accidently subjected to extra heat. Remember to lay with movement joints to accommodate expansion and contraction.
- Make the most of natural colour variations One of the advantages of using natural stone tiles is that no two pieces are ever the same. Whether creating Pedra Hijau wall or designing a water feature - you'll be guaranteed a beautiful blend of green shades.
- Covering after installationOnce you've installed your tiles, it's important that you protect them from water (including rain) for several hours, and we recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight for a period of 12 hours. If you're creating a pool, it's advisable to fill it as soon as possible to protect the stone from the elements.
