• SEALERS:
  VersaLite Stone® Fabric requires sealing for stain and scratch protection. The sealers recommended are listed on this document. It is best to pre-seal VersaLite Stone® Fabric sheets prior to installation. This protects and seals the face from scuffing, adhesives, and grout during installation and handling.
• PREPARATION:
• LAYOUTS & PATTERNS:
  Preparation of the area to be covered and the layout of the VersaLite Stone® Fabric sheets is the same as for natural stone or tile. Time spent preparing the work area will pay off immensely. A preliminary dry fit of VersaLite Stone® Veneer allows for arrangements and orientation of individual sheets, patterns, textures, and colors before final placement. It is recommended that each sheet be dry fit exactly where it will be placed on horizontal or vertical surfaces. Numbering the sheets to track relocation before cutting and trimming is recommended and will save time.
• CUTTING:
  VersaLite Stone® Fabric can be cut with a carpet knife or sharp scissors.
• ADHESIVES:
  It is important to follow exact guidelines for the chosen adhesive; by understanding the specifics of the adhesive, a great deal of time and cost can be saved. All adhesives should be selected prior to the installation taking into account important factors such as moisture and temperature in the planned environment. If the application is outdoors, consideration to thermal expansion needs to be taken into account. Since VersaLite Stone® Veneer is a veneer it must expand and contract with the substrate or delamination may occur.
  The back of VersaLite Stone® Veneer may require “Back-Buttering” of adhesive for some applications. For wet environments, epoxy adhesives are required. Contact adhesives are not recommended due to the uneven backing of VersaLite Stone® Veneer. Do not use non-catalyzing (water vapor type) cure adhesives where the substrate is a moisture barrier. Adhesive may not adhere properly if applied between non-porous materials.
• TOOLS TO WORK WITH:
  Standard tools can be used for application. Fabric can also cut with a carpet knife or sharp scissors.
• VARIATIONS:
  Since VersaLite Stone® Fabric is a natural product DESIGNED BY NATURE, color and texture variances are not defects within the material, but are inherent to it and part of the natural beauty of quarried materials. These materials cannot be guaranteed to match dye-lot to dye-lot, so it is recommended that orders take into account future maintenance or re-fit possibilities.
• STORAGE:
  VersaLite Stone® Fabric sheets should be stored flat in a clean environment.
