Split Face Tiles – Key Characteristics
- Interlocking Z-panel format creates a continuous, natural stone appearance with minimal visible joints.
- Suitable for both interior and exterior walls when installed using appropriate adhesives and preparation methods.
- Complements modern architecture as well as traditional masonry and garden structures.
- Designed for straightforward installation without specialist cutting or tooling.
- For areas with frequent water exposure (showers, water features), the use of a suitable stone sealer may be considered.
- Samples are available to verify colour tone and surface texture prior to ordering.
Sealing Split Face Tiles – General Guidance
- Natural Surface Preservation: Split face tiles are intended to express the raw texture of stone. Leaving the surface unsealed allows the stone to breathe and retain its authentic character.
- Colour Integrity: Sealers can alter colour depth and contrast. For customers seeking a true natural finish, sealing is often unnecessary.
- External Applications: In outdoor, well-ventilated environments, sealing is generally not recommended. Natural drying after rainfall allows the stone to perform reliably through seasonal weather cycles.
- Internal Applications: Most interior wall uses present minimal risk of staining or moisture ingress, reducing the functional need for sealing.
Ordering Guidance – Allow for Contingency
- A. Despite secure factory packing, minor damage during transport cannot be entirely ruled out.
- B. Small follow-up quantities shipped by parcel services frequently arrive damaged based on industry experience.
For this reason, any additional quantities must be shipped by pallet. While secure, this involves a minimum ¼-pallet charge, making small replacement orders inefficient.
