Stone in Wet Areas Without the Weight
Showers, spa walls and pool surrounds benefit from the look of stone but suffer from the mass and grout lines of thick tile. Flexible stone veneer gives a continuous stone surface that resists water when correctly sealed.
Shower Walls
Apply to a waterproofed backer board (tile backer or cement sheet) using a polymer modified adhesive. Keep seams tight and fill with a flexible, mould-resistant grout. The thin profile means less buildup at fixtures and easier transitions to trays and glass.
Spas, Steam Rooms and Pools
Around indoor pools and steam rooms, use a vapour-open system and a high-quality impregnating sealer. Avoid standing water in unsealed joints. The maintenance guide covers ongoing care.
Water and Mould Resistance
The mineral composite does not feed mould, but like any tile assembly the weak point is the grout and the substrate. A waterproof membrane behind the veneer is essential in wet rooms.
Grout and Seal
Use a flexible, anti-fungal grout and seal the stone face with a penetrating impregnator rated for wet areas. Re-seal periodically based on use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it go inside a steam shower?
Yes, with a waterproof substrate, flexible grout and a steam-rated sealer. Confirm product choice with our team.
Will the colour change with water?
Unsealed stone can darken when wet. A good impregnator keeps the dry appearance and makes cleaning easier.
Which product for a spa feel?
Travertine and soft line series such as DS001 and BY30060 read as calm, natural stone. See all products.
