Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Start with a Clean Foundation
- Clean and dry the surface; eliminate dust, oil, and residue
- Ensure the substrate is level, solid, and crack-free
- Apply waterproofing membrane for wet areas such as showers
- Remove trims or outlet covers that obstruct sheet layout
- Use a leveling compound where needed
Step 2: Layout Planning – Maintain Balance
- Find the center of the wall or surface for layout symmetry
- Dry-lay the sheets to preview veining consistency and flow
- Adjust placement to avoid awkward cuts at the edges
- Use 1.5–3 mm spacers between sheets for uniform grout spacing
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Choose a Reliable Thin-Set

Instructions:
- Mix small batches usable within 30 minutes
- Apply with the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel
- Comb mortar at a 45° angle for optimal coverage
- Back-butter sheets for stronger adhesion

Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Stay Accurate
- Use a wet saw with a fine diamond blade
- Mark cuts with precision using a pencil
- Smooth edges using a stone file or rubbing block
- Dry-fit before securing tiles permanently
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Keep the Pattern Consistent
- Start from the center and work outward
- Press mesh-backed sheets firmly into thin-set
- Use spacers to maintain spacing
- Level with a rubber mallet as needed
- Clean excess thin-set with a damp sponge
- Allow 24 hours to cure before grouting
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Finish with Care
- Use non-sanded grout to protect polished marble
- Apply diagonally with a rubber float
- Wipe grout residue immediately
- Buff haze after 15–20 minutes
- Let cure for 72 hours
- Seal with a penetrating marble-safe sealer
Maintenance Tips – Keep It Looking New
