SHOWER SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
DO NOT CLEAN SISTINE STONE WITH PAINT THINNER, ACETONE, LACQUER THINNER, M.E.K., SCRUBBING BUBBLES
or
other chemicals that attack the structural integrity of Resin Based Stone. Use of these chemicals will destroy the surface of the stone and void your
warranty. Soapy water, ammonia based cleaners & Comet will remove most dirt and residue from all types of finishes. For stubborn stains you may
use a non-abrasive Scotchbrite pad. “Lightly” scrub the stained area in a circular motion to avoid discoloration. The stone is naturally waterproof and
will not absorb spills or soil, simply wipe away with a damp sponge. Periodic cleaning with a sponge and warm, soapy water will remove any build
up of dust or grime.
CARE & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SHOWER SYSTEM
Correcting Bowed Wall Panels
Sistine Stone Wall Panels are made to be flexible and may have a slight bow. This condition is normal and the
panels will flatten when properly installed. If the panels have been stored improperly or have become excessively bowed, follow instructions below.
Using a heat gun or propane torch, heat the backside of the panel in the most bowed area. Hold the torch a few inches away and move the torch back
and forth over the area. After the panel becomes malleable, lay panel on a flat surface and apply weight until cool and flat.
(wall thresholds work well, refer to Installation Guide Packing List).
Cracked Tile
As with any tile project, a tile can become damaged. Simply cut out the damaged tile, silicone a replacement tile in place, and grout.
Cracked Wall Panel Seam
If your wall panel developes a crack in a grout line, simply grout over the cracked seam when it is installed. The grout
will correct the problem, you will not be able to tell the crack was ever there.
Scratches & Blemishes
Can be removed by wet-sanding the tile surface. Make sure tile surface and sandpaper are wet, and sand tiles until scratches
and blemishes are removed.
