Questions & Answers
for outdoor applications on top of concrete what substrates do you recommend
For outdoor installations over concrete using MSI Montauk Black Slate, the best practice is to use a stable, crack-free concrete base combined with a polymer-modified thin-set mortar. For added durability and to accommodate movement, consider an uncoupling membrane and/or a waterproofing membrane. Always ensure proper drainage, full mortar coverage, and regular sealing of the slate for long-term performance. Good luck with your project!
Can this tile be used for a patio table that has 12x12 square frames?
Yes, this 12x12 slate tile can fit your patio table’s square frames. Please make sure the frame can support the tile’s thickness and weight, and seal the slate for outdoor durability. We recommend working with a professional installer for best results. Good luck with your project!
What are the dimensions of the (20 pc/80sf) pallet?
Each tile measures 24 inches long by 24 inches wide, with a thickness of 0.44 inches. When 20 tiles are stacked together, the stack is about 8.8 inches tall. Adding an estimated 4 to 6 inches for the packaging and pallet base, the total height of the pallet comes to approximately 13.8 inches. For safety, it’s best to round this up to 14 inches. Good luck with your project!
What country is the Montauk Black Slate tile sourced from?
This tile is manufactured in Brazil. Good luck with your project!
Using 12x24 tile. What is the recommended trowel size and grout spacing? Thank you
We recommend using a 1/4 in. x 3/8 in. U-notched trowel and a 1/4 in. grout line for best results. Good luck with your project!
Does this tile come in the herringbone layout on mesh backing?
This tile does not typically come pre-mounted in a herringbone layout on mesh backing. It is sold as individual loose tiles, which allows for flexibility in installation patterns—including herringbone—but the layout would need to be arranged manually during installation. Good luck with your project!
Can I use a tile cutter for this stone tile or do I need a saw?
We recommend using a wet saw to cut this tile. If a specific cut can't be made with a wet saw, a 4-inch grinder can be used for curves, cutouts, or hard-to-reach angles. Good luck with your project!
Installing on a bathroom floor, not in the shower area only on the main floor area. What type of sealer should I be using for grouting?
After allowing your grout to dry for 24 hours, ensure the surface is clean and free of dirt. Apply a tile sealer, we recommend Internet SKU#202907686 and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results. Good luck with your project!
