Clear answer: YES!
Slate-Lite stone veneers can also be laid quickly and easily over old tiles.
This completely eliminates the tedious, dirty and laborious removal of old and unloved tiles and brings you closer to your dream bathroom faster than ever before!
Bonding to old tiles is extremely simple: once the substrate has been properly sealed in accordance with applicable DIN standards, the old tiles simply need to be cleaned to remove dust and grease.
Then apply the Slate-Lite adhesive with a B3 notched trowel and press the stone sheet into place - done!
In our tile video, you can see an example installation showing how easy it is to make old tiles disappear with Slate-Lite:
Cutting our thin stone veneers to size is extremely easy, and almost any standard DIY tool is suitable for this: You can cut Slate-Lite to the required size with millimeter precision using a hand or table saw, jigsaw or multitool.
Simply cut the stone sheet from the back using a wooden or plastic saw blade with medium teeth. If necessary, then lightly sand the cut edge with sandpaper.
The stone surface of Slate-Lite can be drilled through with any standard (stone) drill.
Nailing and screwing is also possible without any problems.
On request, we are at your disposal as a competent partner for industrial processing and series production.
We offer a wide range of processing options such as cutting, pressing or lasering. Please contact our sales department for individual arrangements and requirements.
Use as a worktop is possible, but is only recommended under certain conditions due to the rough surface of the stones and the extreme loads caused by cutting tools, hot pots/pans, etc. If you use Slate-Lite as a work surface, you should always impregnate the material several times with our Special protection.
Please note, however, that the Special protection is a food-safe impregnation and not a sealant. The material does not become cut-resistant through the application of our Special protection.
We therefore recommend using cutting tools only in conjunction with a cutting board, as otherwise scratches would remain on the surface of the material. Please also always use an appropriate trivet for hot pots/pans.
To make cleaning the material easier, we recommend using flat, smooth decors in this area.
Depending on the installation location, you can use Slate-Lite without additional surface protection, for example in indoor are
as with low levels of stress.
For applications in areas with high loads, such as the kitchen or in the shower and bathroom, we recommend using an additional impregnation or sealant.
This is usually applied to the stone surface with a foam roller in a criss-cross pattern; this can be done before or after installation.
For detailed instructions on the protective products, please refer to the respective data sheets and recommendations in our theme worlds. In the following video we show you an example of the simple application of our strongest sealer Slate-Lite Extreme Protection.
Slate-Lite can be cleaned with all commercially available, non-corrosive household cleaners.
In most cases, clear water and a lint-free cloth or brush will suffice.
In outdoor areas, cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner is also possible, but please observe the distance recommended by the appliance manufacturer when using it.
