INSTALLATION TIPS

If you’ve chosen one of these natural stones for your project, here are some useful installation tips:

Using the right adhesive

Using 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 green sukabumi tiles or any other natural stone tiles, your surface should be clean, and removed of any existing coating such as paint or wax.

Waterline sealant

Green sukabumi does not require sealing if it is being used in dry areas, such as for garden landscaping or indoor

construction. However, if you’re using the natural stone for outdoor, such as: pool, it is important that you seal the tiles at the waterline. Ensure the tiles are clean and dry prior to applying the sealant, and keep the tiles away from water or extreme conditions for approximately 12 hours following.

Natural stone expands

All natural stone expands when hot and contracts when cool. When laying green sukabumi, it is important not to leave your tiles 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 is that no two pieces are ever the same. Whether creating a green sukabumi wall or designing a water feature – you’ll be guaranteed a beautiful blend of green shades.

Covering after installation

Once 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.
