Suitable for Wet Areas Applications Walls, Fireplaces, Backsplashes, Facades Maintenance Soap & Water; Periodic Sealing Before You Install Surface Preparation Clean, Sound, and Primed The wall surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or debris before installation. Apply a primer to porous or absorbent substrates to improve adhesion and ensure the panels bond properly. Allow primer to cure fully before proceeding. On dark installations, any adhesive squeeze-out will be visible against the black face ƒ?? clean up immediately. Installation Step by Step 1 Prepare the Surface Clean and dry the wall thoroughly. Apply primer to porous substrates to ensure maximum adhesion before laying any panels. 2 Dry-Fit First Always dry-fit panels before committing adhesive. Confirm layout and panel orientation ƒ?? seam placement is especially visible against a dark surface, so plan carefully. 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 to prevent edge lifting. 4 Position and Press Set the panel against the wall and press firmly across the full surface. Use a level to confirm alignment before the 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 ƒ?? residue is more visible on black slate than on lighter colorways. Use a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners that could streak or dull the surface. Installer Advice Pro Tips Mind the Adhesive Dark surfaces show squeeze-out and smears far more than lighter colorways. Keep a damp cloth within reach during installation and wipe panel faces clean as you go ƒ?? before any residue cures. Seal Before Outdoor Install For exterior applications, apply a penetrating stone sealer before installation and reseal annually. Sealing preserves the deep black tone and protects against weathering, chalking, and surface oxidation over time. 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 Galaxy Black with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or acidic solutions that may dull or streak 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 Galaxy Black ƒ?? the depth of natural mica slate, made for spaces that demand presence.
