Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Ensure Flatness
- Clean the substrate completely, removing any dust, adhesive, or oils.
- Check surface flatness using a 10-ft straightedge—tolerance must be within 1/8″.
- Use a self-leveling underlayment if needed to correct uneven areas.
- Apply waterproofing membrane for wet areas such as bathrooms or shower walls.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Dry-Lay and Blend
- Mark layout lines for symmetry starting from the center of the space.
- Dry-lay multiple tiles to preview Silver Diamond’s cappuccino tone variation and polish clarity.
- Blend tiles from several boxes to achieve a harmonious overall tone.
- Use **1/16″–1/8″ grout joints** for a seamless look with straight edges.
Step 3: Mortar Application – Use White Thin-Set
Recommended Products:
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT White
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White
- Ardex X77 White
Instructions:
- Use a 1/2″ square-notched trowel to spread adhesive evenly across the surface.
- Back-butter each tile to ensure 100% coverage and avoid hollow spots.
- Apply mortar in small sections and place tiles promptly before skin-over occurs.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Clean and Accurate
- Use a wet saw with a continuous-rim diamond blade for smooth, chip-free cuts.
- Polish any visible cut edges using a marble polishing pad.
- Dry-fit all custom cuts to verify spacing and alignment.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Level and Align
- Set tiles with consistent pressure and use a leveling system to avoid lippage.
- Use spacers to maintain uniform grout lines.
- Tap lightly with a rubber mallet to ensure flat alignment.
- Wipe off excess thin-set immediately to avoid haze on polished surfaces.
- Allow 24 hours of curing time before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect the Shine
- Pre-seal with a penetrating sealer before grouting to prevent staining.
- Use non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the polished marble surface.
- Apply grout with a rubber float and clean joints diagonally for full coverage.
- Buff surface with a dry cloth after 20–30 minutes to remove haze.
- Apply a second coat of sealer after grout cures (typically 72 hours).
Maintenance Tips – Long-Term Beauty
- Clean regularly using pH-neutral stone-safe cleaners.
- Immediately wipe up spills to avoid etching and staining.
- Re-seal every 6–12 months depending on use and traffic levels.
- Use floor mats and protective pads to prevent wear in high-traffic areas.
