PREPARATION<br />
Important to make sure the surface on which the SlimLite Slate and Quartzite is applied<br />
has been cleaned of any dirt, dust, grease, or any other substance that may hinder the<br />
effectiveness of the adhesive.<br />
ADHESIVES<br />
The recommended and most durable adhesive for installing SlimLite Slate and Quartzite<br />
is any adhesive with a polyurethane component.<br />
The following have also been used and shown to be effective: premixed grout and<br />
tile adhesive, epoxy, silicone, thick latex or acrylic latex type tile adhesive, or any<br />
polyurethane wood glues.<br />
Check the properties of any adhesive used to be certain the conditions that the SlimLite <br />
Slate and Quartzite is installed in are covered under the adhesive’s guidelines.<br />
CUTTING, GROUTING AND SEALING<br />
SlimLite Slate and Quartzite can be easily cut into various shapes using scissors, tin<br />
snips, metal sheers, a wet saw or table saw.<br />
When installing SlimLite Slate and Quartzite you have the option of using grout joints or<br />
butting the pieces against each other. Due to the minimal thickness of the product, it is<br />
best if a minimal grout joint is used. Tests have shown that the most effective grout used<br />
is a water-based epoxy grout.<br />

SHADE VARIATIONS AND AESTHETIC CLASSIFICATION<br />
Low: Background color is relatively uniform.<br />
Medium: Background color contains slight variation.<br />
High: Background color contains distinct variation.<br />
Random: Variegated in color and veining. Blending allowances during installation are<br />
strongly recommended.<br />
SOUNDNESS<br />
Group A: Sound Stones with no geological voids or fissures. These stones do not require<br />
any filling or patching.<br />
Group B: Similar to Group A, but geological imperfections could be evident. These stones<br />
may contain holes or voids, which are filled with epoxy or resin.<br />
Group C: These stones may contain holes, voids, lines of separation and structural flaws.<br />
It is standard practice to repair these stones by filling them or reinforcing them.<br />
Group D: Similar to Group C but these stones contain larger natural faults and require<br />
more refinishing over time.<br />
SPECIAL NOTES<br />
n Not recommended for wet areas.<br />
♦ Can be used in interior wet areas, if sealed and maintained properly. If not properly<br />
maintained, the stone look could be altered. Please contact your sealer manufacturer<br />
or your <strong>Daltile</strong> sales representative for information about products that can protect<br />
the stone from moisture exposure.<br />
6 These stones contain deposits of minerals and iron that may react to moisture. Stone<br />
bleeding or rusting is a common example of this. These stones should not be used<br />
in installations where they would be exposed to standing, run off water or too much<br />
humidity. A sealer is strongly recommended but will not prevent chemical reaction<br />
from happening. Please contact your sealer manufacturer for information about<br />
products that can protect the stone from moisture exposure.<br />
l A sealer is recommended.<br />
CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE<br />
Natural stone products inherently lack uniformity and are subject to variation in<br />
aesthetics (color, shade, finish, etc.) and performance (hardness, strength, slip resistance,<br />
etc.). Natural stone products do not meet minimum coefficient of friction thresholds<br />
recommended by safety standard setting organizations. No warranties, express or<br />
implied, relative to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose are made regarding<br />
the natural stone products distributed by Dal-Tile. Check local building codes prior to<br />
specification or installation to verify that product technical characteristics comply with<br />
required parameters.<br />
