Installation Guide – Arabesque Polished Marble Mosaic Tile
Step 1: Surface Preparation – A Clean and Even Base
- Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and debris.
- Confirm that the substrate is level, stable, and free of cracks or damage.
- Apply a waterproofing membrane in wet areas like showers to protect the surface.
- Remove any baseboards, fixtures, or outlet covers that may obstruct installation.
- If needed, use a leveling compound to achieve a smooth, even surface.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Visualize the Pattern
- Mark the center of the wall or surface to establish a symmetrical layout.
- Dry-lay the Arabesque Polished Marble Mosaic Tile sheets to preview color distribution and veining across Dolomite, Bardiglio, and Imperial White.
- Adjust sheet placement for an aesthetically balanced design and avoid small or uneven cuts along edges.
- Use 1.5–3 mm spacers between sheets to ensure uniform grout lines.
- Ensure the arabesque pattern aligns seamlessly from sheet to sheet.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Choose Quality Thin-Set
Recommended Thin-Set Brands:
Instructions:
- Mix only small batches of thin-set to prevent premature drying.
- Use the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel to apply a thin, even layer.
- Comb the adhesive at a 45° angle using the notched side for full coverage.
- Back-butter each sheet lightly to enhance bonding and reduce voids.
- Work in manageable sections to maintain the adhesive’s workability.
Special Note for Dolomite, Bardiglio & Imperial White:
- These marbles vary slightly in porosity and veining—handle sheets carefully to avoid chipping the delicate edges.
- Apply a pre-sealer before installation to reduce the risk of staining during grouting, particularly on the lighter Dolomite and Imperial White sections.
- Arrange sheets thoughtfully to highlight natural color variations for the best aesthetic impact.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Precision Matters
- Use a wet saw with a high-quality diamond blade for clean, precise cuts.
- Mark cut lines clearly with a pencil or wax marker before cutting.
- Smooth sharp edges gently using a rubbing stone or fine sandpaper.
- Dry-fit all pieces to ensure proper alignment and pattern flow.
Step 5: Setting the Tiles – Keep the Pattern Consistent
- Start tiling from the center point and work outward to maintain balance.
- Press each mesh-backed sheet firmly into the thin-set using a slight twisting motion.
- Avoid shifting the sheets once placed to keep the pattern alignment intact.
- Use spacers between sheets to maintain even grout lines.
- Tap gently with a rubber mallet to ensure the tiles are level.
- Immediately wipe away any excess thin-set with a damp sponge to prevent residue.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect Your Mosaic
- Remove spacers and prepare unsanded grout to avoid scratching the polished surface.
- Apply grout diagonally using a rubber float to fill the joints completely.
- Clean excess grout promptly with a damp sponge while working in sections.
- After 15–20 minutes, buff the surface with a soft cloth to remove any remaining haze.
- Allow grout to cure for 72 hours before applying a penetrating marble sealer to protect against stains.
- For regular maintenance, use a pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaner to preserve the polished finish and prevent etching.
Important Note
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Always use high-quality setting materials and sealers to ensure a beautiful, lasting result. Stonemarket USA is not responsible for improper installation.
