Authentic Italian Calacatta Marble is inherently rangy, which is part of the beauty of natural stone. This stone will have color ranges within various formats and it is imperative to blend all tiles prior to installation. Calacatta Gold has a white to ivory base with amber yellow, tobacco and gray-green veins. The veins may be thin or wide and may be few or throughout. To ensure an even variation, blend stones from several boxes and from all the crates to ensure the stones are put together to create a harmonious overall look. Keep in mind when requesting samples, that one or two tiles will never indicate the complete color range because natural stone will range in color within the same block of material. This is the beauty of natural stone.
Mosaics: Due to the addition of a resin mesh for added stability, TEC’s Super Flex™ or 100% Solids Epoxy Mortar is required for proper installation of all mosaics. Mosaics sold on 12x12 Sheets.

Due to the natural characteristics of this particular stone, it is imperative that a porcelain or glass cutting blade is used to minimize splintering on edges while cutting. This onyx can range in color from the lightest alabaster white to the deepest gold tones. We guarantee material ordered will vary from the samples used during the selection process. It is imperative that all material be inspected prior to installation as no concessions will be made once the stone is installed.

The tumbling process results in size variation from stone to stone which is reflected in the mounting of tumbled mosaics.
Due to the irregular nature of the Splitface Mosaic, minimal gaps may appear between the interlocking sheets (see below). We recommend that a matching grout is used to fill these voids to eliminate potential shadowing.

Blending stones from multiple cartons versus taking stones straight from the carton will ensure an even variation of color and surface texture. The image on the left shows stones pulled straight from the box.
Note that the three stones on the bottom left have a different shading and pattern than the other stones. The image on the right shows the same stones blended together along with the others. The variation
is no longer obvious, but in fact it is more of an enhancement to the natural beauty of the stone.

River Rocks GuidelinesRiver Rocks are a terrific decorative option due to its durability, texture, range of color and many applications. River Rocks can be used indoors and outdoors, on any vertical application and in both residential and commercial applications.
Preparation & ApplicationInstallation of these stones is similar to any other natural stone product. For best results, we recommend a qualified tradesperson who is experienced in the laying of natural stone product. River Rocks are sold in 12x12 mesh-mounted sheets. Blend all sheets before installing to ensure an even color and surface height for your layout. Substrates – Area of application should be flat, clean, dry and free of contaminants. For wet areas the use of reinforced waterproof membranes is suggested.
Adhesive – Use only a high quality thinset mortar. The manufacturer’s literature will outline if it is appropriate for indoors or outdoors as well as for walls. It is important that each River Rock is embedded in adhesive, however they should not be pressed too deeply into the adhesive. Select a product suitable for application with a 1/4” or 1/8” notched trowel and apply no more than three square feet of adhesive at a time.
Pre-Sealing & GroutingIt is recommended that River Rocks be pre-sealed before grouting. For best results use a good quality penetrating sealer. These types of penetrating sealers ordinarily do not change or alter the color of the stone. A sanded grout that is suitable for external or internal conditions (which ever may be the case) is recommended. A latex modified thinset is recommended as some flexibility may be needed. It is important to wait the recommended amount of time by the adhesive manufacturer before grouting to minimize dirt between the stones and avoid the chance of the River Rocks dislodging from the surface. Grout a small area at a time. When grout has dried, use a stiff bristled brush to scrub excess grout. After removing most of the grout with a brush, use a grout sponge to continue removing grout until the desired finish is achieved.
Care & MaintenanceIt is recommended that River Rocks be sealed with a quality impregnator after the grout has dried completely. To easily maintain natural stone, it is recommended that sealants be reapplied every 2-3 years. Whenever using sealants and cleaners, be sure to follow the manufacturers recommended method of application. River Rocks can be cleaned with neutral mild detergents. The porosity or water absorption in natural stone varies, so staining may occur in different degrees if the stone is unsealed. Consequently, any spills should be cleaned quickly to lessen the degree of the stain.
Natural Stone GuidelinesNatural Stone tiles should be installed by an experienced and qualified tile contractor or stone mason. Since these are natural products, it is essential that the client and the installer use appropriate setting materials that are specifically designed for use with stone. Mosaic Tile Company is happy to assist in the choice of setting materials, however, we cannot be held responsible for their use for any particular purpose. We recommend TEC and Custom Building Products installation materials and can provide you with more specific instructions based on your particular application. Since each stone is unique with respect to color, veining, structure, etc., any samples that are submitted are intended to merely suggest the final outcome. Due to the inherent characteristics of the material, variations are guaranteed and part of the natural beauty of each stone.
BlendingOften the range and variation of patterns within one color and finish of stone is random – or it could be consistent. Since stone tiles are cut from large blocks, the patterning may be consistent within one carton but vary greatly from the next. Before starting an installation, it is imperative that all tiles be blended and sorted so the complete range can be seen. Mixing the tiles from all cartons will ensure a more uniform and well blended overall look.
Dry Layout Most natural stones are one of the following:
Directional – Grain running in one direction across the tile, like Onyx
Figured – Veins and markings running in swirls or a number of directions, like Marble
Multi-Colored – Sometimes subtle and sometimes dramatic color variations, like Slate
Directional tiles may be laid end-to-end, in a parquet pattern or random. Figured and multi-colored stones should be arranged like an abstract painting, with the owner, designer and installer rearranging the individual tiles in a sample area until the desired effect is obtained. Doing this dry run will eliminate any room for error.
Installation MethodConsult the TEC or Custom Building Products setting materials guide for appropriate information for your specific stone and job conditions. Always use a premium white thinset for light colored stones, as the mortar may bleed through and stain the surface of the tile. If installing over a wood subfloor, ensure that the area is properly prepared to accept stone. Be sure to use a new glass or porcelain cutting blade to ensure clean, smooth cuts and to avoid potential splintering.
Sealing, Care & MaintenanceAll natural stone installations should be sealed both before and after grouting. Be sure that the surface is completely cleaned of any residual mortar prior to sealing. Grout the installation after the penetrating sealer has thoroughly dried. Choose a grout appropriate to your specific installation. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. A regular maintenance routine should be established for sealing and cleaning the installation. Neutral pH cleaners can be used for day-to-day maintenance, with more powerful cleaners or poultices for specific stains. The stone should be resealed at 1 to 3 years in commercial applications and after 2 to 6 years for residential. See the Mosaic Tile Company Natural Stone Care & Maintenance guide for more details.
