Beige Diamond Marble 12″x24″ Honed Tile – Installation Guide
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Clean, Stable, and Level
Ensure the substrate is dry, solid, and free of dust, debris, or contaminants.
Check flatness with a 10-ft straightedge; variation should not exceed 1/8″.
Use a self-leveling compound to correct uneven areas.
Apply a waterproofing membrane in showers, wet rooms, or high-moisture areas.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Balance Color and Veining
Mark centerlines and reference points to maintain a symmetrical layout.
Dry-lay tiles to evaluate tone variation and blend from multiple boxes.
Use 1/16″–1/8″ grout joints for straight-edged tiles to ensure clean alignment.
Step 3: Mortar Application – High-Performance White Thin-Set
Recommended Adhesives:
Instructions:
Spread mortar with a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for complete coverage.
Back-butter each tile to ensure full contact and avoid voids.
Work in small sections to prevent mortar from drying too quickly.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Accurate and Smooth
Cut tiles using a wet saw with a diamond blade suitable for natural marble.
Polish any exposed edges with a marble hand pad for a professional finish.
Always dry-fit tiles before permanently setting them.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Flat and Even
Use a leveling system to prevent lippage on large-format tiles.
Press tiles evenly and maintain consistent grout spacing.
Remove excess thin-set immediately from tile surfaces and joints.
Allow mortar to cure for 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Long-Term Protection
Pre-seal honed marble with a penetrating sealer before grouting.
Use non-sanded grout to protect the delicate honed finish.
Apply grout diagonally with a rubber float and clean joints promptly.
Let grout cure for 72 hours, then apply a second coat of sealer for added protection.
Maintenance Tips – Preserve the Marble’s Beauty
Clean using pH-neutral, stone-safe products.
Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining or etching.
Re-seal every 6–12 months, especially in wet or high-traffic areas.
Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or bleach-based products.
