Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Flat, Stable, Clean
- Ensure substrate is dry, solid, and clean from contaminants or residue.
- Use a 10-ft straightedge to check for flatness (within 1/8″). Level if needed using a self-leveling compound.
- Apply waterproofing membrane if installing in showers, wet rooms, or high-moisture areas.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Plan for Tone and Grain
- Mark centerlines and reference points for symmetrical layout.
- Dry-lay tiles to visualize natural tone shifts and blend from multiple boxes.
- Use **1/16″ to 1/8″ grout joints** for clean alignment with straight edges.
Step 3: Mortar Application – Use White Thin-Set
Recommended Thin-Sets:
- Mapei Ultraflex LFT White
- Laticrete 254 Platinum White
- Ardex X77 White
Instructions:
- Apply mortar with a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for full bed coverage.
- Back-butter each tile to ensure complete contact and minimize hollow spots.
- Apply in small, manageable areas to prevent premature drying.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Smooth & Accurate
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade designed for natural stone.
- Polish cut edges with a marble hand pad if exposed.
- Always test-fit pieces before securing in place.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Aligned and Flat
- Set tiles carefully using a leveling system to avoid lippage.
- Maintain consistent grout spacing and align straight edges precisely.
- Clean off excess thin-set from tile surface and joints using a damp sponge.
- Allow mortar to cure 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Preserve the Finish
- Pre-seal honed marble with a penetrating sealer to prevent grout stains.
- Use non-sanded grout to protect delicate honed surfaces.
- Apply grout diagonally with a rubber float, then clean immediately with a damp sponge.
- Let grout cure for 72 hours, then apply a second coat of sealer for protection.
Maintenance Tips – Preserve the Natural Look
- Use pH-neutral cleaners approved for natural stone.
- Wipe spills immediately to prevent etching or staining.
- Re-seal every 6–12 months, especially in kitchens or wet areas.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, vinegar, or bleach-based products.
