Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Flat and Dry Foundation
- Clean the substrate thoroughly—remove dust, oil, debris, or old adhesive residue.
- Ensure the surface is flat using a 6-ft level; large-format tiles require a maximum variation of 1/8″ over 10 ft.
- Use a self-leveling underlayment to correct any dips or uneven areas before setting begins.
- In wet areas, apply a waterproofing membrane compatible with natural limestone.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Visual Balance
- Snap chalk lines from the center to maintain symmetrical layout and reduce narrow cuts at edges.
- Dry-lay several tiles to assess natural tone variation—Myra Beige limestone ranges from light beige to sandy undertones.
- Blend tiles from different boxes for an organic, balanced look.
- Use **1/16″ to 1/8″ grout joints** for a clean finish with straight edges.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Use White Thin-Set for Limestone
Recommended Adhesives:
- Laticrete 4-XLT or 254 Platinum White
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT White
- Ardex X77 or X5 White
Instructions:
- Use a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for even mortar distribution under large tiles.
- Back-butter each tile to ensure full contact and prevent voids that can crack under load.
- Apply mortar in small areas and avoid walking over fresh adhesive.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Smooth & Consistent
- Use a wet saw with a continuous diamond blade made for limestone or marble.
- Mark cuts clearly and test-fit each piece before final placement.
- Smooth exposed edges with a stone file or polishing pad for safety and uniform appearance.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Keep Everything Flat
- Use a leveling system designed for large-format tile to prevent lippage.
- Set tiles by pressing into the mortar and gently tapping with a rubber mallet.
- Align each piece tightly for straight-edge precision, using spacers if necessary.
- Wipe away excess mortar from the surface and joints with a damp sponge before it dries.
- Allow 24 hours of curing time before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Lock in Natural Beauty
- Pre-seal limestone before grouting to prevent absorption of grout pigments.
- Use non-sanded or fine-grain grout for narrow joints; match grout color to the stone for a seamless look.
- Grout in small sections and clean immediately to avoid surface staining.
- After curing, apply a high-quality penetrating sealer made for honed limestone.
Maintenance Tips – Protect Your Investment
- Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners; avoid vinegar, bleach, or acid-based solutions.
- Wipe spills immediately to prevent etching or discoloration.
- Re-seal annually or as needed depending on traffic and moisture exposure.
- Use felt pads under furniture and rugs in high-traffic areas.
