Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Strong, Flat & Smooth
- Verify that the substrate is structurally sound, dry, and completely free of dust or debris.
- Large-format tiles (24″x48″) require an extremely flat substrate. Correct dips or peaks using a high-quality self-leveling compound to avoid lippage.
- In bathrooms, showers, or wet environments, apply a professional-grade waterproofing membrane before installation.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Precise Large-Format Alignment
- Snap precise center lines and dry-lay several tiles to determine the optimal starting point and balanced edge cuts.
- Blend material from multiple crates/boxes to ensure consistent color flow across the space.
- Maintain a joint spacing of 1/16″ to 1/8″ — straight edges demand consistent gaps for a clean architectural look.
Step 3: Mortar Application – White LHT (Large & Heavy Tile) Thin-Set
Recommended Thin-Set Mortars:
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT White
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White
- Ardex X77 or X5 White
Instructions:
- Use a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for proper mortar depth and coverage.
- Back-butter every 24″x48″ tile to ensure full bonding and eliminate hollow spots.
- Spread mortar in small workable sections; do not walk over freshly set tiles.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Large-Format Precision
- Use a wet saw with a premium diamond blade designed for limestone to achieve clean, chip-free cuts.
- Dry-fit each cut tile to confirm alignment before installing.
- Slightly ease or smooth exposed cut edges with a marble file if necessary.
Step 5: Tile Setting – Large Panels Flat & Aligned
- Begin at your layout lines and gently set each tile into the mortar bed.
- Use a top-tier tile leveling system specifically designed for large-format surfaces to eliminate lippage.
- Clean off excess thin-set from joints and the tile surface before it hardens.
- Allow a minimum of 24 hours of cure time before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect the Stone
- Pre-seal the limestone before grouting to prevent staining.
- Use unsanded or fine-sanded grout for thin joints; select a tone that complements Myra Beige’s natural warmth.
- Spread grout diagonally using a rubber float and clean promptly with a damp sponge.
- Once grout fully cures, apply a second coat of penetrating sealer for long-lasting protection.
Maintenance Tips – Keep Your Stone Looking New
- Use only pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners—avoid acidic or bleach-based chemicals.
- Re-seal the surface every 6–12 months depending on traffic and moisture exposure.
- Use area rugs and felt pads to minimize scratching from furniture.
- Wipe spills immediately, especially oil-based liquids, to prevent absorption.
