⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Essential: As this is a natural limestone product, it is porous and must be sealed before and after grouting to protect against stains and moisture. We recommend high-quality sealants like Lithofin MN Stainstop or Fila MP90.
  • Natural Variation: Every tile is unique! You will see variation in shade, veining, and fossilisation. We recommend dry laying your sheets before fixing to ensure an even blend across the area.
  • Grout Colour: Use a light or neutral grout (such as Jasmine or Limestone) to complement the creamy tones of the stone. Avoid dark grouts that could stain the porous surface.
  • Cleaning: Always use pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone. Avoid harsh bleach or acidic cleaners (like vinegar) as these can etch the limestone surface.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real stone or a porcelain imitation?

This is genuine natural limestone. It features authentic fossils, seashells, and veins that have formed over thousands of years, giving it a depth and character that porcelain cannot fully replicate.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Because it is natural stone, it is porous and must be sealed to protect it from water, oils, and dirt. We recommend sealing the tiles before grouting and again afterwards to ensure full protection.

Can I use it on a shower floor?

Yes, the Palio Limestone Herringbone Mosaic is suitable for wet room floors. The honed finish provides a smooth surface, but the many grout lines in the mosaic format help to provide extra grip underfoot. However, as with all natural stone in wet areas, proper sealing is critical.

Is it suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. Natural stone is an excellent conductor of heat, making this tile perfectly compatible with underfloor heating systems for a cozy, warm floor.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are a family-run business with a passion for quality materials. Dealing with natural stone requires specific knowledge—we can guide you on the correct adhesive (white is usually best for light stone), the right sealant, and the best maintenance routine to keep your limestone looking beautiful for years.
