Installation Guide – Dolomite Honed Marble Baseboard Trim (4″x12″)
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Clean and Level Wall Base
- Install flooring first before applying baseboard trim.
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, smooth, and dry at the base area (typically the bottom 6 inches).
- Remove any debris, adhesive, or dust that might interfere with bonding.
Step 2: Dry Layout – Visual Alignment and Cutting
- Dry-lay trim pieces to preview layout, length, and veining consistency.
- Use a level to mark a straight horizontal line just above the flooring to guide placement.
- Cut pieces as needed using a wet saw with a fine diamond blade.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Mounting the Trim
Recommended Adhesives:
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White
- Mapei Ultralite Mortar (white, non-sag)
Instructions:
- Apply white thin-set mortar to the back of the trim with a small notched or margin trowel.
- Back-butter each piece to ensure complete contact with the wall.
- Press firmly along the guideline, directly above the finished floor surface.
- If necessary, support pieces with painter’s tape until fully cured.
Step 4: Grouting – Finishing the Joint Lines
- After 24 hours, fill any visible joints between trim pieces with non-sanded grout.
- Clean excess grout immediately with a damp sponge to avoid residue buildup on the honed surface.
- After 30–45 minutes, buff with a soft cloth to remove haze.
Step 5: Sealing – Stone Preservation
- Once the grout cures (72 hours), apply a penetrating marble-safe sealer suitable for honed finishes.
- Reseal periodically based on environmental conditions and exposure to moisture or cleaning agents.
Maintenance Tips
- Use only pH-neutral, marble-safe cleaners for regular maintenance.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive products which can damage honed marble.
- Inspect and maintain grout lines to prevent moisture penetration over time.
Important Note
Dolomite marble is a natural material and will exhibit slight variations in tone and veining. Always dry-lay and inspect before installation. Stonemarket USA is not responsible for natural variation or installation errors.
