How do you seal the stacked stone so water doesn't get behind the tile

12 years ago

From what I've seen you don't grout stacked stone so is here a worry of water getting behind the tile and if so how do you seal the tile properly so no water gets behind the tile?

I would consult with a tile expert. This tile was not selected by me. Another concern is that it is rough and VERY difficult to clean.

I agree. I love the tile and have used it myself in several homes. But, not for a shower. Looks great, but I can't imagine how someone would truly keep it clean.

I was a designer, and can't imagine anyone using this tile for shower walls. Another factor is installing the hand held shower, and body spray on such an uneven surface....lots of crevice to fill in. The only thing that would possibly help for cleaning is if they applied some type sealant on the stacked stone.

I am curious why no one has responded to your comments about the tile.

this has been answered many times. The tile was not selected by me and is not the best choice for this application. It can be sealed but would not have confidence long term. Also hard to clean, rough surface to brush against etc etc....
