Kota, Tandur & Kadappa Stones: selection, installation and care
Practical material guidance from ONLYSTONE in Jigani, Bengaluru. Confirm product-specific requirements with our team and your installer.
Product selection
Choosing Kota, Tandur & Kadappa Stones
Compare actual pieces
Kota, Tandur and Kadappa are distinct stones with different colours, textures and finishing options. Discuss flooring, steps, paving or another intended use before selecting. Confirm thickness, finish and suitability for the site rather than choosing by colour alone.
Set expectations
Natural shade variation is part of the material. Approve a representative sample arrangement and agree size tolerances, edge preparation and any planned polishing before ordering.
Installation
Installing Kota, Tandur & Kadappa Stones
Plan levels and drainage
Have an experienced installer assess the base and choose a compatible laying system. External paving needs a drainage plan; vehicle areas need an appropriate supporting structure for their loads.
Control the finish
Sort and dry arrange pieces before fixing. Check joints, levels and transitions as work progresses. Discuss whether site finishing is suitable for the chosen stone. Protect the completed surface while bedding and joint materials cure.
Maintenance
Maintaining Kota, Tandur & Kadappa Stones
Remove grit and dirt
Sweep regularly and wash using a stone-compatible cleaner when appropriate. Remove excess water and keep drainage paths open. Avoid treating all three stones with the same polishing or cleaning chemical without confirming compatibility.
Investigate persistent marks
Acid cleaners can harm sensitive stones. Seek advice for cement residue, white deposits or stubborn stains instead of applying a strong cleaner across the whole floor.
Care
Caring for Kota, Tandur & Kadappa Stones
Protect against damage
Lift furniture, avoid dropping heavy tools and use suitable mats in grit-prone areas. Discuss sealer suitability and its effect on colour and grip before applying it.
Look after the assembly
Check for loose slabs, cracked joints and water pooling. Arrange repairs that address the base or drainage where needed. Retain spare pieces and the stone type, size and finish details for future matching.
