Slate is a fine grained homogeneous sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash which has been
metamorphosed so as to develop a high degree of slaty cleavage or undulation. Slate comes from many parts
of the world - Brazil, China, India & Wales. For tiling with natural stone guidelines see pages 173-174

Travertine is a banded, compact variety of limestone formed along streams, particularly where there are
waterfalls and around hot or cold springs. Calcium carbonate is deposited where evaporation of the water
leaves a solution that is super saturated with chemical constituents of calcite.

GEMINI offer a wide range of natural stone products. Their beauty and versatility has made them an
increasingly popular choice. The aim of this guide is to help you select the correct product for the
required application and correct products to fix, seal and maintain them with.
Types of GEMINI Natural Stone available: Granite • Slate • Travertine • Polished Marble • Limestone
• Wet areas such as showers should be tanked with BAL WP1 Shower Kit or Tanking System prior to
tiling.
• All stone is porous to some degree and must be sealed with the appropriate LITHOFIN product PRIOR
TO GROUTING. This will protect the stone from being stained by any pigment in the grout and from grout
being sucked into the stone by capillary action.
• Use the solid bed fixing method incorporating an appropriate notched trowel and fill any voids in the
back of the tile. When fixing to skimmed plaster or gypsum plasterboard, prime prior to tiling with BAL
PRIME APD.
• Ideally fix natural stone with a rapid setting cement based adhesive. Due to the porosity of certain
stones, staining can occur if a normal setting adhesive is used. White adhesive should always be used
with pale stones and when using a light coloured grout. Either BAL RAPID SET WHITE OR BAL RAPID SET
FLEXIBLE (if background is prone to movement) are suitable adhesives for most backgrounds on floors
and walls. It is recommended that BAL FAST FLEX is used for overlaid timber floors to minimise any
chance of movement damage.
• Grouting of stone can be done in the same way as any other tile. In the case of Travertine an extra
quantity should be allowed for to fill the voids in the stone. Standard cement based or polymer modified
grouts, BAL WIDE JOINT GROUT, BAL SUPERFLEX, BAL MICROFLEX, or BAL MICROCOLOUR can all be
used. Check to see which would be the most appropriate for your application. Ensure that any grout is
removed from the surface before sealing by washing the floor with a dilute solution of LITHOFIN POWER
CLEAN.
• Further sealing will be required after grouting as stone can stain. On most occasions this is due to an
inadequate amount of sealer being applied during the fixing process and the tiles not being fully sealed.
Properly sealed stone is easier to maintain.
• Please note that it is not recommended that you clean most stone with ordinary household detergents
as they are acidic and can damage most stone. GEMINI sell a full range of suitable cleaning and
maintenance products for all types of stone.

The most important feature of wedi tilebacker board is its performance in wet conditions.
Use it for showers or wet rooms with total confidence.
Thanks to the unique composition of the product, tiles stay attached to tilebacker. It is lightweight,
easy to cut and dimensionally stable. It is supplied in a variety of thicknesses.
This is more than a surface for tiling onto - it is a construction material that opens up a wealth of
creative possibilities on tight budgets. When used to level uneven walls, it delivers the finished job
much faster than rendering or plastering and it keeps dust to a minimum even when drilling.

Ceramic tiles*
Currently this is the most common type of tile and may be supplied in either glazed or unglazed finishes.
Ceramic tiles possess specific technical properties and a glaze coating that physically and hygienically
protects the tiles. The base is clay based and porous; bucket cement is normally used to fix these tiles.
They are used internally on walls and floors. In general the floor tiles are thicker hence stronger, as they
carry weight and more traffic. Cutting is via scoring the ceramic surface and then by snapping using
pressure. Tile cutters are readily available. Tiles are available in many different sizes and thicknesses.
Designs and colours can be applied during the firing of the tile, making these a very common and
adaptable internal tile.
Porcelain Tiles*
Porcelain tiles are very durable, low porosity tiles suitable for indoor and outdoor installations for
domestic and commercial applications. They can be fitted to wall and floor however always check to
ensure that the wall can bear the weight of these tiles. Always fix porcelain tiles using cement based
adhesive an example is BAL Single Part Flexible. Plaster board and plaster walls must be primed before
fixing for example using BAL primer APD. As an extremely hard material cutting can be a problem, for
best results cut these tiles with diamond bladed wet saw. Due to their very low absorbency (Vitrified or
fully Vitrified) porcelain tiles do not normally require sealing. Polished tiles however have a slight degree
of microporosity as a result of the polishing process. If used in areas subject to a high level of spillage,
polished tiles can be sealed to further protect. Matt tiles can also be sealed in high-risk areas, e.g. light
coloured tiles on commercial kitchen floors.
Glazed Porcelain*
Porcelain tiles with an opaque to transparent coating that have been fired to the tile biscuit. This type of
tile has a vitreous covering on the face of the tile, which is fluid impermeable.
Glass Mosaic*
Glass Mosaics are suitable for walls in all internal installations and for domestic bathroom floors, where
they will only be subject to light foot traffic. In some ranges a slip resistant ‘Grip’ finish is available for
wet floors such as walk in showers.
Glass mosaics should always be fixed with white cement based adhesive, e.g. BAL Mosaic-Fix. For fixing
to plaster and plaster board, the surface should be first primed with BAL primer APD or similar. Glass
mosaics are supplied in sheets and when fixing the fabric mesh goes towards the wall, setting them in
line to obtain a correct vertical and horizontal meeting of joints. Tap the surface of the mosaics with a
rubber float to ensure adequate adhesion and flatness. Some glass mosaics may be supplied with brown
paper sheets with or without a fabric mesh these are fixed in the same way, but with the brown paper
facing out. When the adhesive has set, wet the paper thoroughly with a sponge and peel the paper off
holding one corner. Please be aware that due to the translucent nature of glass mosaic, final colour
and shade of the fixed material can vary especially depending on lighting and location.
GEMINI GUIDELINES
183
Rectified Tile*
A rectified tile has been mechanically cut to size after the firing process. This process creates a precise
edge and, as a result, can be laid with a tighter grout joint than an unrectified tile. Great care must be
taken when fixing to ensure tiles are fixed flat and not lipped.
PEI
The construction and qualities of tiles differ greatly. One classification that influences / affects where to
use specific tiles is Abrasion Resistance PEI ratings.
Abrasion Resistance – Below are four different classifications.
Areas with heavy pedestrian use over sustained periods but not necessarily commercial
applications.
Please note: We would recommend the use of a door mat within a mat well to all external doors.
Natural Products*
Please refer to the tiling with natural product guidelines when you see and this stamp.
Pages 173-174.
Crazing
A fine hairline cracking which sometimes appears on the glaze of the tile. This is usually caused by tensile
stress between the tile biscuit and glaze. This may have been intentionally produced for artistic effect.
Shade Variation
It is common practise to check batch numbers on wallpaper. Please apply the same care before fixing
tiles. Shade variation is an inherent feature of some ceramics and it is therefore imperative that you
visually check blends prior to fixing. Care should always be taken to ensure that sufficient tiles are
purchased within the same batch to complete the job, as no claims for variations or quality can be
entertained after fixing.
