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.

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.

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.

It is recommended that this stone be
installed with a 3/16” grout joint in
order to achieve optimum results. It
is also recommended that the grout
be kept to a minimal depth to best
highlight the stones’s chiseled edge.

Blending stones from multiple cartons
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.

Natural Stone Guidelines
River Rocks Guidelines
Natural 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.
River 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.
Blending
Often 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 multicolored 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 Method
Consult 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 & Maintenance
All 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.

Preparation & Application
Installation 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 & Grouting
It 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 & Maintenance
It 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.
