IV. Types of Installation

(Please note that these are general guidelines; you should check specifications from both the adhesive manufacturer and the building code.)

Stone tiles can be installed by adhesive or they can be mechanically anchored depending on the size of the pieces and the application. A different method and adhesive is used if tiles are going to be installed indoors versus outdoors.

The installation of slabs on fireplaces is recommended using mechanical anchors with adhesive for the vertical pieces.

When installing horizontal pieces for countertops, it is recommended to use a non-staining adhesive.

Joints between pieces should be grouted using the proper material and color. It is important to approve a sample of the grout before the job is done to avoid problems. The seams should be perfectly clean before applying the grout material.
