The attractive light tones of this tile are perfect for bringing warmth into a rustic living space. To ensure you get a good mix of shades across the area, lay out your tiles before fixing them for a pattern that looks truly unique. Using an unpolished protector or colour intensifier will protect the floor from spills and also enhance the look of the quarried stone.Suitable for use with underfloor heating providing the correct substrate preparation and a suitable flexible cement based tile adhesive and grouts are used. For more information on fitting please visit our knowledge base or contact your local store. Due to the inherent properties of our Amazone™ stone, it is expected that on occasion, the overall look will appear more rustic and mottled. This is caused by the varying porosity and density of the stone itself. The use of Unpolished Protector and/or Colour Intensifier will give greater definition to this variation. As you can see from images 4 and 5, this characteristic enhances the beauty of the overall appearance. Please note, this is not a product fault, but a natural characteristic of the stone.
