Why Choose Milas White Marble?
Milas White marble is appreciated for its soft white base and subtle gray veining, offering a clean and elegant look without heavy contrast. The honed finish enhances its natural character, making it especially suitable for spaces where a softer, more organic feel is desired.

Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Solid, Clean & Level Base
- Ensure the substrate is structurally sound, dry, and flat within 1/8″ variation per 10 feet.
- Remove all dust, oil, sealers, or debris before installation.
- For wet areas (bathrooms, entryways), apply an approved waterproofing membrane prior to tile installation.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Natural Flow & Balance
- Mark the center of the space and establish reference lines for a balanced layout.
- Dry-lay Milas White tiles to evaluate subtle veining direction and tonal variation.
- Blend tiles from multiple boxes for a natural and consistent marble appearance.
- Recommended grout spacing: 1/16″ to 1/8″ for a clean, modern installation.
Step 3: Mortar Application – Use White Thin-Set Only
Recommended Mortars:
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT White
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White
- Ardex X77 White
Installation Tips:
- Use a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for proper mortar coverage.
- Back-butter each 24″x24″ tile to ensure full contact and eliminate voids.
- Work in small sections and avoid applying mortar beyond workable time.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Clean and Accurate Cuts
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade designed specifically for marble.
- Honed marble does not require polishing after cutting, but edges can be lightly refined if exposed.
- Always dry-fit perimeter and corner pieces before final placement.
Step 5: Setting & Alignment – Flat Surface is Key
- Use tile spacers to maintain consistent joint width and alignment.
- Gently tap tiles with a rubber mallet to achieve a flat, even surface.
- Remove excess mortar promptly to avoid residue on the matte surface.
- Allow at least 24 hours curing time before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect the Natural Finish
- Pre-seal Milas White marble before grouting to prevent staining and grout absorption.
- Use non-sanded grout to avoid surface scratching.
- Apply grout diagonally with a rubber float and clean residue with a damp sponge.
- After drying, remove any haze with a soft cloth.
- Apply a penetrating sealer 72 hours after grouting.
Maintenance Tips – Preserve the Honed Finish
- Clean regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner designed for natural stone.
- Avoid acidic or harsh chemicals such as vinegar, bleach, or ammonia.
- Honed marble may show marks more easily—wipe spills promptly.
- Reseal every 6–12 months depending on usage and exposure.
