Installation Guide – Carrara White Strip Linear Mosaic Tile (Polished Marble)

Material Notes

  • Natural Carrara marble, polished finish.
  • Linear strip mosaics, mesh-mounted (typical sheet ~12"x12").
  • Suitable for walls, backsplashes, shower surrounds, and light-traffic floors (confirm slip needs in wet areas).

Step 1: Surface Preparation

  • Substrate must be clean, dry, flat (≤1/8" in 10′), and structurally sound.
  • Approved substrates: cement backer board, properly cured concrete, or mortar bed.
  • Wet areas: install an ANSI A118.10 waterproofing membrane per manufacturer instructions.

Step 2: Dry Layout & Planning

  • Dry-lay several sheets to blend shade/vein variation and confirm linear direction.
  • Snap level reference lines (top and bottom) to keep courses perfectly straight.
  • Stagger sheet seams and trim mesh edges to interlock so seams are invisible.
  • Plan perimeter cuts so narrow slivers are avoided and lines remain continuous.

Step 3: Adhesive (White Thin-Set) Application

Use:

  • White, polymer-modified thin-set rated for natural stone. Avoid mastics, especially in wet areas.

Trowel & Technique:

  • 3/16" V-notch or 1/4"x3/16" V-notch on flat substrates.
  • Key in thin-set with the flat side, then comb in one direction and lightly flatten ridges to prevent telegraphing through thin strips.
  • Work in small areas (10–15 minutes open time) to prevent skinning.

Step 4: Setting Sheets

  • Align first sheet to your reference line; press in using a rubber grout float or beating block.
  • Use wedge spacers as needed to keep linear joints straight and uniform.
  • Lift/adjust immediately if a strip sits proud; back-butter individual strips when needed for a flat plane.
  • Clean squeeze-through thin-set from joints and faces right away with a damp sponge.

Step 5: Cutting & Detailing

  • Use a wet saw with a continuous-rim diamond blade for marble. Apply painter’s tape over the cut line to minimize chip-out.
  • For tiny trims, use mosaic nippers sparingly; dress cut edges with a rubbing stone.
  • Finish exposed edges with stone trim, metal profiles, or matching moldings.

Step 6: Grouting (Polished Marble)

  • Allow thin-set to cure (typically 24 hours).
  • Use unsanded grout for joints ≤1/8" to avoid scratching the polished surface.
  • Consider a marble-safe grout release or pre-seal to reduce pigment uptake on light Carrara.
  • Pack joints diagonally with a rubber float; clean with minimal water to prevent washout or staining.

Step 7: Sealing

  • After grout cures (typically 72 hours), apply a penetrating, marble-safe sealer to stone and grout.
  • Re-seal periodically (e.g., every 1–2 years in wet zones) per traffic and exposure.

Maintenance

  • Clean only with pH-neutral, non-abrasive stone cleaners. Avoid acids, bleach, vinegar, or abrasive pads.
  • In showers, squeegee/wipe dry after use to limit mineral deposits.

Movement Joints

  • Honor expansion joints and provide soft joints per TCNA EJ171 (changes of plane, perimeters, large expanses).
  • Use 100% silicone (stone-safe) at inside corners and where tile meets other materials.

Important Notes & Disclaimer

  • Always use white thin-set beneath light Carrara to prevent shadowing/picture-framing.
  • Blend sheets from multiple boxes; natural marble varies in tone and veining.
  • Stonemarket USA is not responsible for improper installation or substrate issues. Professional installation is recommended.
