Maximize Beauty & Durability with Professional Installation
Ensure long-lasting performance and a flawless finish by following this expert guide for installing your Clipped Diamond Royal Beige and Emperador Marble Mosaic Tile. These steps protect the tile’s structure, polished surface, and unique diamond layout.
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Ensure a Clean and Level Base
- Clean and dry the surface thoroughly; remove any dust, grease, or debris
- Ensure the substrate is flat and stable, with no loose areas or cracks
- Waterproof wet zones like showers or backsplashes before tiling
- Remove any trim, moldings, or obstructions prior to installation
- Use a self-leveling compound if needed to correct uneven spots
Step 2: Layout Planning – Achieve Balance and Symmetry
- Measure your area and mark the center points of each wall
- Snap chalk lines to form a layout grid for reference
- Dry-lay sheets to visualize spacing and the clipped diamond pattern
- Adjust layout to avoid narrow edge cuts
- Use tile spacers (1.5–3mm) to maintain even grout lines
Step 3: Adhesive Selection – Choose a Quality White Thin-Set
Recommended Mortar Brands:
Application Tips:
- Mix only the amount you can apply within 30 minutes
- Spread mortar using the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel
- Use the notched side at a 45° angle to comb the surface
- Back-butter each sheet for enhanced bonding
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Clean, Accurate Edges
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for clean cuts
- Mark cuts precisely with a pencil or wax marker
- Smooth edges with a rubbing stone for safety and polish
- Use tile nippers for small adjustments
- Dry-fit each sheet before applying mortar
Step 5: Setting the Tiles – Secure the Pattern
- Begin tiling from the center and work outward
- Press sheets into mortar with slight twisting motion
- Avoid sliding sheets after placement
- Use spacers to ensure clean grout joints
- Tap gently with a rubber mallet for even placement
- Wipe away excess mortar with a damp sponge
- Allow to cure for 24 hours before grouting
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Finish with Care
- Remove spacers before applying grout
- Use unsanded grout to avoid scratching polished marble
- Apply grout diagonally with a rubber float
- Remove excess grout immediately
- After 15–20 minutes, clean the surface with a damp sponge
- Allow grout to cure for 72 hours before sealing
- Apply a high-quality penetrating sealer to protect from stains
Maintenance Tips – Keep Your Marble Looking Like New
- Clean regularly with pH-neutral stone cleaners
- Avoid acidic or abrasive products
- Reapply sealer as needed depending on surface exposure
- Use felt pads under furniture near marble surfaces
