Installation Steps and Considerations
1. Relocating furniture
All of the furniture, rugs and plants will need to be moved out of the areas where installation will take place. You can plan for installation by moving all small furniture, plants, and knick-knacks. Dalworth can assist with moving the larger furniture.
2. Preparing the sub flooring
Depending on the condition of your sub floor, it may need to be repaired or replaced. If it's in good shape, the sub floor will be thoroughly cleaned and prepped before installation.
3. Removing trim
In some cases, trim may be also be removed before floor installation. Dalworth will discuss your options during installation planning.
4. Laying the stone
Our technicians will carefully measure the area and create an outline for an accurate installation. Using a wet saw with a diamond blade, the tile is cut. After all tiles are cut, installation begins.
5. Grouting
With natural stone floors, small gaps between the stone tiles must be filled in and sanded in a process known as grouting. After the mortar is dry, grout is applied all over the tiled area with a grout float. The remaining grout is removed, leaving your new stone tiles secure.
6. Trim installation
If trim or molding was removed prior to installation it will be replaced after the grout process.
7. Clean up
Your natural stone flooring installation is not done until Dalworth completes a thorough cleanup after the job. Dalworth can also arrange for the removal and disposal of your old flooring.
8. Move In
After your natural stone flooring has been installed, it's time to move in and enjoy your new flooring. In order to protect your investment, be sure to read our guidelines for natural stone floor care.
