Artifex Etched Stone

HOME | TILE BY MATERIAL | STONE TILE | ETCHED STONES MULTICOLOR

Reminiscent of ancient times and hidden treasures, the Etched Stone Multicolor Series is a tile fit for a palace, yet extremely suited for the modern lifestyle. Opulent yet practical, the Etched Stone Series can add another dimension to an everyday installation. Using the old world technique of “aqua forte”, designs are etched onto Travertine Chiaro stone, then filled with colored pigment. This variation adds to the old-world feel of this series. Every stone piece accepts the etching process and pigment differently, creating variation in color and design. This series can be used as accent dots with Artifex Tumbled Stone or many other series.

GROUT & CLEANING
It is possible for etched stones to pick up pigments from contrasting grouts: so care should be used when selecting grout colors. It is very important to clean the excess with a damp sponge, repeating on the etched part of the tile. Never use harsh abrasives or chemicals. Once the tiles are dry, a thin layer of diluted wax can be applied to return the tiles to their natural shine and beauty. Alternatively, a specific anti-stain treatment mixed with natural turpentine can be used.
MAINTENANCE
Although the series is suitable for floors, we discourage the use of vapor cleaners, chemicals or acid-based liquids. Solvent based cleaners, especially those with acetone or other aggressive solvents, should not be used. The tiles can easily be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergents, and occasionally wax-based emulsions.
