Yes, While Go-Stone is not flammable we do recommend that you leave adequate space between the installation and the stove. You will want to follow the stove manufacturers recommendations of adequate spacing from the floor and walls. Always use the protective materials provided by the stove manufacturer.

Yes, You can use Go-Stone in the shower. We recommend a heavy coat of our Natural Shield masonry sealer.

For small jobs with minimal cutting it is possible to use a sheet-rock saw (always begin you cut from the backside of the panel) For larger project that require multiple cuts you will want to use an electric tile saw with a 1/16″ AvantiPRO masonry cutting blade. See our installation instructions in the following tab.

Always be sure to clean excess mortar from the panels as you are installing them. To clean your finished product mix bleach free laundry detergent with warm water, use a sponge or medium bristle brush to remove undesired blemishes. To prevent future stains and blemishes seal with Natural Shield masonry sealer.

Equipment required for installation:

Installation Instructions:

1.Prepare work area by covering exposed flooring and wipe surface clean with damp cloth. (let surface dry)
2. Using notched side of trowel apply adhesive to the entire back of the stone and set in place firmly moving side to side until set. There are three different size panels that should be alternated as the detail on the packaging shows. After setting your third stone use the torpedo to check level. Lay your entire base (starting at a corner if applicable) as you approach the end, measure the distance with your tape measure and cut stone accordingly (butting cut ends together).
3. Second Layer: Make sure to stagger the pieces to reduce the appearance of seams (if you started with a 12″ panel you should be using an 8″ or 16″ panel directly above). Check level every third panel placed.
