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:
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
