Installation Guide – Iceberg Polished Marble Chair Rail Trim (2″x12″)
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Prepare for Precision
- Ensure the wall is flat, clean, and completely dry before starting.
- Install field tile below the chair rail before proceeding with trim installation.
- Use a level to draw a horizontal reference line at the desired height for chair rail placement.
Step 2: Dry Layout – Visualize and Plan
- Dry-lay chair rail pieces to inspect veining, alignment, and edge matching.
- Use a wet saw with a fine diamond blade to cut or miter pieces for corner transitions.
- Check fit around any fixtures or wall features and make adjustments as needed.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Set the Trim
Recommended Mortars:
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White
- Mapei Ultralite Mortar (non-sag, white)
Instructions:
- Use a margin trowel to apply a thin layer of mortar to the back of each trim piece.
- Back-butter thoroughly to ensure even contact and press trim firmly into place.
- Use painter’s tape to hold the pieces in place while the adhesive cures (allow 24 hours).
Step 4: Grouting – Complete the Finish
- Wait 24 hours before applying grout.
- Use non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the polished marble surface.
- Apply grout carefully between joints and clean with a damp sponge.
- Buff off any haze with a soft cloth after 30–45 minutes.
Step 5: Sealing – Long-Term Protection
- After grout cures (72 hours), apply a penetrating marble-safe sealer.
- Reseal periodically, especially in high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean with pH-neutral stone cleaners only.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Wipe with a soft cloth to preserve the polished finish.
