Installation Method

Step 1 Install
Step 3 Install
Step 4 Install

Ensure the wall surface is free from dirt, paint or grease. If necessary, roughen the wall and apply mortar on the wall for better gripping. Apply tile adhesive on the entire backside of the stone. Avoid cement stain on stone surfaces by using tools, instead of bare hands.

Always start with the corner components before laying the flat components. Start from one end and work towards the other. Press each stone firmly into the mortar bed in a sliding motion. Ensure that individual stones are placed as closely as possible, creating uniform joints between them.

For random series with gaps, fill the joints with colour grout using a grout bag. Better results can be archived by selecting colour grouts that are similar in colour to the stone. It is recommended to use a trowel to archive a smooth and even finishing of colour grout inside the joints.

Before the grout hardens, use a stiff brush or wooden racking tool to remove excess grout or mortar from the surface of the stone. You may also use a wet brush to brush away small cement stains that got left behind.

CraftSeal

CraftSeal incorporates Nano Technology into the waterborne treatment that achieves in-depth penetration and surface hydrophobic effect, filling and coating subsurface pores with crystallization actions. It is permeable to water vapours, allowing the treated substrate to dry gradually without staining. Being non-film forming and UV resistant, it does not leave a glossy finish and will not change the substrate appearance.

Mainly used for sealing and waterproofing of concrete and natural stone. It contains a solid, mild antibiotic that inhibits organic growth without affecting the environment. On application, its surface cures rapidly. Any liquid water collected beneath the surface causes the other active components to penetrate deep into the substrate and crystallise, providing in-depth protection.
