About Proposition 65

California's Proposition 65 (the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) requires businesses to warn Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The list of chemicals is maintained by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and is updated regularly. The current list is available at oehha.ca.gov.

Products Covered

This warning applies to products we sell, including:

• Natural stone (such as marble, travertine, and limestone), which contains naturally occurring crystalline silica that can become airborne when the stone is cut, ground, drilled, or polished.
• Porcelain and ceramic tile, which can release crystalline silica dust when cut, ground, or drilled.
• Mosaics, glazed products, and other materials, which may contain lead or other listed chemicals.

Cutting and Fabrication

Cutting, grinding, drilling, or polishing stone and tile should be performed by qualified professionals following the OSHA respirable crystalline silica standard, applicable safety regulations, and the manufacturer's safety instructions. For details, visit osha.gov/silica-crystalline.

Product Information

• Natural variation: Natural stone varies in color, veining, texture, and shade between pieces and lots. This variation is a natural characteristic, not a defect. We recommend ordering a sample before placing a full order.
• Screen color: Colors on screen may differ from actual materials because of monitor settings and lighting.
• Quantities: Our tile calculator is an estimate only. Please have your installer confirm quantities, and order your full quantity plus 10% at once so the whole job comes from one lot.
• Installation: We do not provide installation services. Installation should be done by a qualified installer in accordance with local building codes and the manufacturer's instructions.
• Suitability: You are responsible for confirming that a product is suitable for your intended use, including slip resistance, frost resistance, and wet or outdoor use. Your installer or designer can help.
• Returns: All returns are subject to our Shipping & Returns Policy.
