PRODUCTS
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
Selection of Stone and General Fixing GuidanceBefore purchasing your stone, please check that it is suitable for the application you wish to use it for.
• Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free of contamination.
• 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.

GraniteGranite is an igneous rock and widely occurring. Granite consists of different minerals one of which is quartz. The quartz content is the more aesthetically pleasing mineral. Granite is known for its hardness and is a very suitable wall and flooring material. There are many types of granite some are listed below.
Absolute Black • Star galaxy • Blue Pearl • Baltic Brown • Kashmir White • Giallo Veneziano
LimestoneLimestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of calcium carbonate. The primary source of the calcium carbonate in limestone is most commonly marine organisms. Many types of Limestone are available in tile format. Only a small amount are listed.
Moleanos • Jerusalem stone • Jura • Moca Crème • Rosa Aurora • Beauvillon • Olympus
TravertineTravertine 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.
Travertine unfilled (colours vary) • Travertine Filled & Honed (colours vary) • Travertine BrushedTravertine Chiselled edge
MarbleMarble is metamorphosed limestone, composed of very pure calcium carbonate. Marble is most commonly known in its polished format. Some types of Marble are,
Bianco Carrara • Botticino Classico • Botticino Fiorito • Calacatta • Crema Marfil • Rosa Perlino • StatuarioNero Marquina • Verde Alpi
SlateSlate 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. Listed below are some countries of origin,
Brazil • China • India • Wales

GEMINI GUIDELINES
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.
Polished Porcelain Tiles*Shiny surface of un-glazed tiles, achieved by mechanical polishing at the finalstage of production.
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 colourand shade of the fixed material can vary especially depending on lighting and location.
183
GEMINI GUIDELINES
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.
PEIThe 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.
Residential “bare foot” traffic.
Internal residential kitchens and hallways.
Kitchens and hallways with external access.
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.
Frost Proof TilesTiles specifically designed by the manufacturer to withstand freezing/thaw conditions. Hence suitable for exterior applications exposed to the elements, high humidity and very low temperatures.
Natural Products*Please refer to the tiling with natural product guidelines when you see and this stamp. Pages 173-174.
CrazingA 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 VariationIt 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.
*We strongly recommend the use of a professional tiling contractor.
