Suitable for Wet Areas Applications Walls, Fireplaces, Backsplashes, Facades Maintenance Soap & Water; Periodic Sealing Before You Install Surface Preparation Clean, Sound, and Ready The wall surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or debris before installation. For trowel-adhesive panels, apply a primer to porous substrates to improve bond strength. For Stick & Go panels, a clean, smooth, non-porous surface gives the strongest self-adhesive hold ƒ?? avoid textured drywall or unsealed masonry without primer. Installation Step by Step Stick & Go ƒ?? 24ƒ?? ?? 12ƒ?? & 11ƒ?? ?? 4ƒ?? Panels 1 Prepare the Surface Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from debris. A smooth, primed surface gives the self-adhesive backing the strongest possible hold. 2 Dry-Fit First Lay out your panels before peeling. Confirm the layout and spacing ƒ?? once the adhesive makes contact, repositioning is limited. 3 Peel & Position Remove the adhesive backing from each panel. Align to your layout marks and press firmly into position from the center outward to avoid air pockets. 4 Press and Continue Apply firm, even pressure across the full panel face. Continue installing adjacent panels, checking alignment as you go. No sealer is required, though optional sealing enhances long-term durability. Trowel Adhesive ƒ?? 94?«ƒ?? ?? 47?¬ƒ?? & 48ƒ?? ?? 24ƒ?? Panels 1 Prepare the Surface Clean and dry the wall thoroughly. Apply primer to porous or absorbent substrates to ensure maximum adhesion before laying any panels. 2 Dry-Fit First Always dry-fit large panels before committing adhesive. Confirm layout and orientation ƒ?? seam placement is critical at this scale. 3 Apply Adhesive Using a trowel, apply an even, consistent layer of adhesive to the back of each panel. Aim for 80ƒ??100% coverage to within ?¬ƒ?? of the panel edges. 4 Position and Press Set the panel against the wall and press firmly across the full surface. Use a level to confirm alignment before adhesive begins to set. Work outward from a fixed reference point. 5 Seal the Seams After all panels are set and adhesive has cured, apply a quality stone sealer to seams and exposed edges to enhance durability and guard against moisture infiltration. 6 Clean Up Remove adhesive squeeze-out immediately before it cures. Clean panel faces with a damp cloth ƒ?? avoid abrasive cleaners that could affect the slate surface. Installer Advice Pro Tips Embrace the Variation Natural slate variation is a feature, not a flaw. Shuffle panels from multiple boxes before installing to distribute tone and texture variation evenly across the full installation. Seal Exterior Installations For outdoor or exposed applications, apply a penetrating stone sealer prior to installation and reseal annually. This preserves the rich earthy tones and protects against weathering. Wet Areas ƒ?? Allow Full Cure In showers, bathrooms, or kitchens near water, allow adhesive to cure fully ƒ?? typically 24ƒ??48 hours ƒ?? before exposing the installation to moisture or steam. Care & Maintenance Clean LuxeStone Rustique with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads that may dull the slate surface. For exterior installations or wet interior areas, reseal periodically with a quality penetrating stone sealer. Proper surface preparation and adhesive application are required to maintain installation integrity. LuxeStone Rustique ƒ?? the weathered beauty of natural stone, built for the spaces that matter most.
