At lant i c St on e

The discovery and establ ishment of At lant ic Stone as a superior Stone f in ish is an excit ing newdeve lopment f rom w i th in the Natura l Stone d ist r ibu t ion indust ry .

At lan t ic stone has a ll o f t he aesthet ic qua l i t ies o f M arb le coup led w i th t he w ear and durab i l i ty o f the

hardest of nat ures Granites.

A stone with such low porosi ty and high densi ty determines the fo l lowing

import ant factors:

M a i n t e n a n c e :Due to the s tone be ing v i t reous ( l i t t le to no absorp t ion) th is wi l l e l iminate the need for harsh

cleaners and chemical detergent s. W ith At lant ics high degree of hardness, the surface wil l m aintain

i ts appearance and show m in im al wear even over an extended per iod o f t im e.

Sealing:Al l Porce la in and natura l s tone produ cts requ i re sea l ing a t p roduct ion or p ost p roduct ion .

Due to the dens i ty & hardness o f A t lan t ic s tone min imal main tenance and maximal l i fe o f the

f in ished sealed surface is to be expected, thus lowering the cost of overal l maintenance when

compared to o t her products . A sea l ing recom mend at ion is to be found on page 8 and 9 o f th isdocumen t .

Manufacturers documents: all documents referring to materials specified are on file and available fromProtective Surfaces NZ

All adhesives specified in this document have documented and guaranteed compatibility with allwaterproofing membranes specified in this project document.

PRODUCTSSubstrate

Cement based screeds from 10-100mm in thickness where required shall be manufactured fromwashed No3 sand - gap7 sand aggregate admixed with TECHNOKOLLA KRONOS to form rapidlysetting screeds with final hardness of 30N/mm. Holes and divots can be filled utilizingTECHNOKOLLA GAP.R trowel applied levelling compound for 2-30mm applications.

Substrate deviations, up to tiling areas if applicable, to be levelled using TECHNOKOLLA PLAN 10self-levelling compound.

Waterproofing if applicable

Liquid waterproofing membrane shall be Branz Approved TECHNOKOLLA RASOGUM for internalwalls areas. TECHNOKOLLA RASOLASTIK two-part waterproofing membrane system withproprietary RL 80 S bond-breaking strip and GLASS FIBER MESH shall be used for all shower basesand floors on all bathrooms if applicable.

Adhesives and grouts

We recommend the Tile adhesive to all tiled internal and external areas shall be TechnokollaTECHNORAP-2 Bianco to both concrete floor / tile underlay areas.

Please take into consideration that different types of natural stone are moisture sensitive.

Note: It is important that the tiler does an insitu test to determine this. In some cases Stone mayrequire a pre-seal prior to the installation. (See below)

Grout shall be from the TECHNOCOLORS GROUT range for joints from 0-8mm in width.Test grout colour prior to installation. A tilers test is necessary.

Expansion joints shall be Preformed Joints or Polyurethane, Neusil neutral cure, or similar appraisedStone silicone, to be used on all areas for Movement control.For floors generally at no greater than 4.5meter intervals exposed to sunlight and no greater than 6meter intervals in shaded areas

EXECUTION

All very absorbent concrete/cement sheet floors must be treated with TECHNOKOLLA PRIMER Tprior to application of levelling compounds and tile adhesives.

STONE CLEANING & SEALING

Clean Stone prior to sealing using FILA cleaner at a 1-30 mix ratio to remove building residues etc ifrequired.

Please take into consideration that different types of natural stone are water sensitive andmay require a pre-seal prior to the installation of the stone.

We recommend that the tiler does a test under site conditions to determine this.

Internal - Atlantic Stone

If a pre installation treatment is not required we recommend a pre grout coat of 1 coat of Fila MP90 asper specification. After grouting and cleaning, apply a final coat after 12-24 hours of MP90.

External - Atlantic Stone

If a pre installation treatment is not required, we recommend a pre grout coat of FILA W68 again afterGrout and clean, a finishing Fila W68 as per specification.

Notes:

Do not use Acids or Alkalines on stone before testing first

A water bead test should be carried out on absorbent stones to see if extra coats of FILAproduct are required prior to the application of the final systems.

Ensure stone is clean and dry prior to applying sealers.

Do not walk on the surface for 24 hours as product dries.

The above products should not alter the colour of the stone, however we recommend a testtile or area must be conducted prior to application in case of alteration of appearance withinthe stone.

You may want to have this project, cleaned and sealed professionally as it is an integral partof the final look.

Stone cleaner

Designed by FILA in Italy, specifically for surface care

Fila Cleaner is a PH neutral, highly biodegradable floor and wall detergent

FILA CLEANER Dilution:As required from 1:30 to 1:200

Application:

1. General Maintenance: dilute FILA CLEANER to 1:200 and clean the surface with a cloth/mopor an electric floor cleaner. Does not require rinsing.

2. For very dirty floors, dilute to 1:30-1:50, and then clean the surface with a cloth and scrubbingbrush. Remove dirt and rinse.

3. For after installation cleaning, dilute 1:30 and spread with a single-disc professional cleanerwith a soft disc (white or beige) or a floor scrubbing brush. Remove the residue with a wet vacor cloths

4. Rinse thoroughly.

UNI VERSAL FLOOR CLEANER

Cleans without damaging the surface. When highly diluted (1:200) it leaves no residues and does notrequire rinsing.

Highly concentrated: can be diluted according to use.

Highly biodegradable.

Ideal for the maintenance of waxed surfaces.

Ideal for laminated surfaces.

A gentle detergent for all floors.

Safe for pretreated and sensitive surfaces.

Essential for after installation cleaning of acid sensitive material such as polished natural

stone or polished agglomerates.
