Installation Guide – Milas White Honed Marble Pencil Liner
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Create a Proper Base
- Ensure the installation surface is solid, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris.
- Complete the installation of surrounding wall tiles or mosaics before setting the pencil liner.
- Use a level and pencil to mark straight reference lines for precise alignment.
Step 2: Dry Fit – Layout and Planning
- Dry-lay the pencil liners to confirm spacing, alignment, and visual continuity.
- Check corners and terminations carefully before cutting.
- Cut pieces using a wet saw equipped with a fine diamond blade suitable for natural stone.
Step 3: Setting the Liner – Adhesive Application
Recommended Thin-Set Mortars (White):
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT
- Laticrete 254 Platinum
Application Method:
- Apply a thin layer of mortar to the back of each pencil liner using a margin trowel.
- Back-butter to ensure full coverage and press gently into position along the guideline.
- Use painter’s tape or spacers for vertical applications to hold pieces in place during curing.
Step 4: Grouting – Clean and Controlled Finish
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before grouting.
- Use non-sanded grout to protect the honed marble surface.
- Remove excess grout immediately with a damp sponge.
- After initial set, lightly buff the surface with a clean microfiber cloth.
Step 5: Sealing – Long-Term Protection
- Once grout has fully cured (typically 48–72 hours), apply a penetrating sealer designed for marble.
- Reapply sealer periodically based on moisture exposure and cleaning frequency.
Care & Maintenance
- Clean regularly using pH-neutral stone cleaners.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive products such as vinegar, bleach, or harsh chemicals.
- Wipe spills promptly to preserve the natural appearance of the stone.
