Application: Flooring,
wall covering, counter top, backsplash, spa.
*Results
from independent testing met and exceeded ASTM criteria set
forth by
ANSI
standards
for
commercial wall and floor applications. They passed
freeze-thaw testing, as well as resistance to chemical substances
including all common household and cleaning materials, swimming
pool
chemicals, hydrochloric acid solution and potassium hydroxide.
Additionally, the
floor tiles’ surface has a coefficient of friction
that
exceeds OSHA
standards. The following test results were provided
by the testing lab of the Tile Council of North
America.

Ceramic satin
finish tiles offer enhanced resilience and scratch resistance. Unsanded
grout
is recommended, and any commercially available adhesive for
ceramic tile
may be used. They can be cleaned with any household non-abrasive
cleaner and a soft cloth.

Application: Decorative
Art and Photo Reproduction
Ceramic
gloss tiles are resistant to many chemicals, but are not
recommended
for
surfaces
subject to
direct abrasion. They
provide an
excellent canvas for
photo
and
artwork
reproduction. To
preserve this decorative tile, always use
non-abrasive
cloths
and cleansers, such as Vim or denatured alcohol.

Application: Wall
covering,
border, decorative art.
Tumbled
stone is a compressed sandstone product that adds an "old-world"
look
to the
artwork. The tiles are very porous and must be sealed if used
in water
applications. Each tile is individually cut, causing
some variation
in colour,
texture, size and thickness.
You may
use standard adhesive
recommended for
tumbled stone tile. Sanded
or
unsanded grout may be used.

Sizes:
*4.25" x 4.25"
*6”x6”
Tile
murals are numbered and
marked
for layout left to right and top
to
bottom. 1/16" grout lines
are
recommended to maintain image
perspective. Use silicone
grouts, as standard tile
grouts are very abrasive and
can scratch the
tiles if you trowel the
grout in. If you are incorporating
tiles into a tile
project
you can
use standard grouts, you can trowel the grout in
if
you mask
off the tiles first. Use
denatured alcohol to clean any tape residue.
