Installation Guide – Arabesque Polished Marble Mosaic Tile
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Start with a Clean Base
- Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and debris.
- Verify that the substrate is stable, level, and free of cracks.
- For wet areas like showers, apply a waterproofing membrane to protect the surface.
- Remove any baseboards, fixtures, or outlet covers that might interfere with the installation.
- Use a leveling compound if necessary to create a smooth, even surface.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Visualize the Pattern
- Locate the center of the wall or surface to ensure symmetry during installation.
- Dry-lay the Arabesque Polished Marble Mosaic Tile sheets to preview the natural veining and color distribution across Dolomite, Iceberg, and Royal Beige marbles.
- Adjust the sheet placement to achieve the most visually balanced look and avoid small cuts at the edges.
- Use 1.5–3 mm spacers between sheets for consistent grout lines.
- Make sure the arabesque pattern aligns seamlessly between sheets.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Choose the Right Thin-Set
Recommended Thin-Set Brands:
Instructions:
- Mix only small batches of thin-set that can be applied within 30 minutes to avoid premature drying.
- Use the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel to spread a thin, even layer.
- Comb the adhesive at a 45° angle with the notched side to ensure full coverage.
- Back-butter each sheet lightly to improve bonding and reduce the risk of voids.
- Work in small sections to maintain adhesion and prevent the adhesive from setting too quickly.
Special Note for Dolomite, Iceberg & Royal Beige Marbles:
- Due to the natural characteristics of these stones, handle the sheets carefully during installation to avoid chipping delicate veining.
- Apply a pre-sealer before installation to reduce the risk of staining during grouting, especially for the softer Iceberg and Royal Beige sections.
- Be mindful of natural color variations to achieve a balanced design layout.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Maintain Precision
- Use a wet saw with a high-quality diamond blade for clean, precise cuts.
- Mark cut lines with a pencil or wax marker to ensure accuracy.
- Gently smooth any sharp edges with a rubbing stone or fine sandpaper.
- Dry-fit all pieces before final installation to verify proper alignment and pattern flow.
Step 5: Setting the Tiles – Maintain Pattern Flow
- Begin tiling from the center and work outward to ensure a balanced look.
- Press each mesh-backed sheet gently into the thin-set using a slight twisting motion.
- Avoid shifting the sheets after placement to preserve pattern alignment.
- Use spacers between sheets to maintain uniform grout lines.
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet if needed to level the tiles.
- Wipe away excess thin-set with a damp sponge immediately to prevent surface residue.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Finalize the Installation
- Remove all spacers and prepare unsanded grout to avoid scratching the polished marble surface.
- Apply grout diagonally using a rubber float to fill joints evenly.
- Wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge while working to prevent haze.
- After 15–20 minutes, buff the surface with a soft cloth or sponge to remove any remaining grout film.
- Allow grout to cure for at least 72 hours before applying a penetrating sealer to protect the marble from staining.
- Use a pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaner to preserve the polished finish and avoid etching.
Important Note
Professional installation is highly recommended. Always use high-quality thin-set adhesives, unsanded grout, and sealers to ensure a beautiful and lasting result. Stonemarket USA is not responsible for improper installation.
