Installation Guide – Carrara White Polished Marble Baseboard Trim
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Ensure a Clean, Level Base
- Install floor tiles or other flooring materials first before the baseboard trim.
- Make sure the wall surface is clean, flat, and dry along the bottom 6 inches.
- Remove any debris, dust, or adhesive residue that may prevent bonding.
Step 2: Dry Layout – Visual Planning
- Dry-lay the trim pieces along the wall base to preview alignment and veining flow.
- Use a level to draw a straight reference line for precise positioning above the flooring.
- Cut pieces to fit as needed using a wet saw with a fine diamond blade.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Bond the Skirting Trim
Recommended Adhesives:
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White (non-sag wall mortar)
- Mapei Ultralite Mortar (white)
Instructions:
- Apply adhesive to the back of the trim using a notched or margin trowel.
- Back-butter each baseboard piece for a full-contact bond.
- Press firmly onto the wall along the guideline, directly above the floor tile.
- Use painter’s tape or spacers to support and align pieces while setting.
Step 4: Grouting – Finish the Edges
- After 24 hours of adhesive curing, fill joints between trim pieces with non-sanded grout.
- Clean excess grout with a damp sponge immediately after application.
- Buff the polished surface with a dry cloth after 30–45 minutes to remove haze.
Step 5: Sealing – Preserve the Stone
- Apply a penetrating marble-safe sealer after grout has fully cured (typically 72 hours).
- Reseal periodically based on exposure to water or cleaning products.
Maintenance Tips
- Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth to maintain the polished finish.
- Regularly inspect grout lines and reseal as needed in moisture-prone areas.
Important Note
Carrara marble is a natural stone and may exhibit variations in veining and tone. Always inspect and dry-lay pieces before installation for optimal appearance. Stonemarket USA is not responsible for natural variation or installation errors.
