About This Tile
Before You Buy
Natural Variation
Natural stone products inherently vary in color, veining, texture, and finish. These characteristics are not flaws but part of what makes each piece unique. No two slabs or tiles are exactly alike. Fissures and pits are not to be considered defects as they are part of the stone.
Samples
Samples are intended to show general characteristics only. Your final order may vary from the sample due to the natural and unique nature of stone.
Finish & Dimension Tolerance
Slight size, thickness, and finish variations may occur. Industry-accepted tolerances apply. Please consult with your installer before finalizing measurements.
Sealing & Maintenance
Natural stone requires sealing and regular maintenance. Failure to properly care for your stone may result in staining, etching, or surface damage. THELIFESTYLEDCO and the tile manufacturer are not responsible for improper maintenance or misuse.
Installation
Consult with a professional tile installer for guidance on installation.
Care & Maintenance
Tile and stone are built to last—but like any great design decision, a little care goes a long way. The Tile Council of North America (TCNA) recommends routine maintenance using the right products and methods to protect both the surface and the grout over time.
Below is a simple guide to help you maintain your installation with confidence. These guidelines are recommendations only. Always refer to manufacturer’s guidelines and TCNA recommendations for the final word.
General Guidelines (For Most Surfaces)
- Use pH-neutral cleaners. TCNA recommends avoiding acids, ammonia, and bleach-based cleaners, which can damage grout and certain surfaces.
- Avoid abrasive pads or steel wool. Tile is durable—but not scratch-proof.
- Change mop water frequently. Dirty water leaves residue and dulls the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing.
- Dry the surface to prevent spotting or streaking—especially in commercial spaces.
- Use entry mats to reduce grit and debris tracked indoors.
Every installation is unique. Always follow the specific care instructions provided by the tile, stone, grout, and sealer manufacturers.
