Install Graceful Curves with Expert Precision

Follow this step-by-step guide to install your Fish Scale Dolomite Marble Mosaic Tile properly. These instructions will help you achieve a lasting finish while maintaining the tile’s polished surface and signature curved design.

Step 1: Surface Preparation – Build on a Clean, Flat Base

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or soap residue
Confirm the substrate is firm, smooth, and crack-free
Apply waterproofing membrane in wet areas such as showers or backsplashes
Remove baseboards or outlets that interfere with layout
Use a self-leveling compound if necessary to fix uneven areas

Step 2: Layout Planning – Align the Pattern with Care

Mark the center point of each wall with chalk lines to guide layout
Dry-lay the sheets to visualize spacing and pattern flow
Adjust the layout to avoid thin cuts at the edges
Place spacers (1.5–3mm) between sheets for even grout lines
Make sure the fish scale curves remain aligned across sheets

Step 3: Adhesive Application – Use High-Quality Thin-Set

Recommended Mortars:

Mapei
Laticrete
Ardex

How to Apply:

Mix small batches of thin-set you can use within 30 minutes
Spread it using the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel
Comb at a 45° angle for optimal coverage
Back-butter each tile sheet for stronger adhesion
Apply in small sections to prevent premature drying

Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Work with Smooth Curves

Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for clean, precise cuts
Mark tiles clearly using a pencil or wax marker
Smooth sharp edges with a rubbing stone
Use tile nippers for curved details and small adjustments
Dry-fit pieces to check spacing before installing

Step 5: Setting the Tiles – Keep the Flow Consistent

Begin from the center and work outward
Press each mesh-mounted sheet into mortar with a slight twist
Avoid shifting the sheets after setting
Use spacers to maintain consistent grout lines
Tap gently with a rubber mallet to ensure level placement
Wipe off excess mortar with a damp sponge
Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before grouting

Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect the Marble Finish

Remove all spacers before grouting
Use unsanded grout to prevent surface scratching
Apply grout diagonally using a rubber float
Wipe away excess grout promptly
Clean any haze with a damp sponge after 15–20 minutes
Let grout cure for 72 hours
Seal with a high-quality penetrating marble sealer

Care & Maintenance – Keep It Looking Beautiful

Clean regularly with pH-neutral stone-safe cleaners
Do not use harsh or acidic products
Reapply sealer as needed to maintain protection
Use felt pads under furniture near tiled surfaces
