Installation Guide – Dolomite 0.75″ Penny Honed Marble Mosaic Tile
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Solid, Clean Base
Ensure substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or debris.
Verify the surface is level, structurally sound, and free of cracks.
Apply waterproofing membrane in wet areas such as showers.
Remove any trims, outlet covers, or obstacles that may interfere with tile placement.
Use a leveling compound to correct minor unevenness.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Achieve Symmetry
Locate the center of the wall or surface for balanced installation.
Dry-lay several sheets to check color, veining, and overall pattern flow.
Adjust placement to avoid thin slivers at edges or corners.
Maintain consistent grout spacing using 1.5–3 mm spacers between sheets.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Reliable Thin-Set
Recommended Brands: Mapei, Laticrete, Ardex
Instructions:
Mix small batches of thin-set that can be used within 30 minutes.
Apply with the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel.
Comb mortar at a 45° angle for even coverage.
Back-butter sheets for improved adhesion.
Work in sections to prevent premature drying.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Precision Matters
Use a wet saw with a fine diamond blade for clean cuts.
Mark cut lines carefully with a pencil.
Smooth edges using a stone file or rubbing block.
Dry-fit tiles before final placement to ensure alignment.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Keep Layout Consistent
Begin from the center and work outward for symmetry.
Press mesh-backed sheets firmly into the thin-set for full contact.
Use spacers to maintain even joint spacing.
Level tiles with a rubber mallet if needed.
Clean excess mortar promptly with a damp sponge.
Allow adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect & Enhance
Use non-sanded grout to prevent scratching polished marble.
Apply grout diagonally with a rubber float.
Remove grout residue immediately.
Buff surface after 15–20 minutes to remove haze.
Let grout cure for 72 hours, then apply a penetrating, marble-safe sealer.
Maintenance Tips – Longevity & Beauty
Clean only with pH-neutral, non-abrasive stone cleaners.
Avoid acidic, harsh, or abrasive substances.
Re-seal periodically based on exposure and use.
Use felt pads under furniture to prevent scratches near tile surfaces.
