- RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL: Tiles are recommended for residential and light commercial applications.
Q-Seal™ Permanent Protection
The top surface of each tile is protected by Q-Seal, a permanent sealer that is water and stain resistant, protects against abrasion, and features Ultra-Fresh® anti-microbial protection, which inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing mold and mildew. Q-Seal is factory-applied and never needs re-sealing.
Installation Instructions
Follow generally accepted good practices for installation of natural stone tile. Follow these instructions specific to Tumbled Marble with Q-Seal.
- The tile surface is protected by Q-Seal, making it unnecessary to seal the tile before or after installation.
- Do NOT use scouring pads, steel wool, sandpaper, or other abrasive implements to remove grout haze, or damage to the Q-Seal protector and/or tile surface may result.
- Grout sealer inadvertently applied to the tile surface should be wiped off before it dries on the surface.
Care and Maintenance
- Foods and beverages will not stain the tile if cleaned up in a reasonable amount of time. To clean, use a liquid, non-abrasive cleaner and a damp sponge.
- Some pigmented foods and beverages (like mustard and wine) may leave permanent stains if not cleaned up soon after contact (within 2 hours).
- For stubborn stains, an abrasive cleaner (like SoftScrub®) can be effective, but rub gently with a damp sponge. You may also use a specialty stain cleaner (like Oxiclean® Versatile).
- After cleaning, rinse area thoroughly with a clean, damp sponge to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
- Do NOT clean with scouring pads, steel wool, or other abrasive implements or damage to the Q-Seal protector or tile surface may result.
