Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Flat and Stable
Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or debris.
Check flatness with a long level; correct any dips or high spots with a self-leveling compound as needed.
Apply a waterproofing membrane in wet areas such as showers or kitchen backsplashes.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Achieve Balanced Flow
Snap center lines to maintain symmetry throughout the installation area.
Dry-lay tiles to preview veining and color variation, blending tiles from multiple boxes for a natural look.
Plan your layout to avoid small cuts along edges and adjust the starting point if necessary.
Use 1/16″–1/8″ spacers to ensure uniform grout joints while preserving the definition of beveled edges.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – White Thin-Set Only
Recommended Mortars
Instructions
Apply mortar with a 1/4″ or 3/8″ square-notched trowel depending on surface flatness.
Back-butter each tile to ensure full contact and prevent voids.
Work in small sections to prevent the adhesive from skinning over.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Smooth and Accurate
Use a wet saw with a diamond blade designed for marble to avoid chipping polished surfaces and beveled edges.
Dry-fit cut tiles to confirm placement, and polish visible edges with a stone file if necessary.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Precision Alignment
Press tiles firmly into the mortar bed, tapping lightly with a rubber mallet for proper alignment.
Continuously check spacing; beveled edges make misalignment more noticeable.
Remove any excess mortar immediately to prevent residue or etching on polished tiles.
Allow at least 24 hours for adhesive curing before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Preserve the Finish
Pre-seal polished tiles with a penetrating sealer to prevent grout haze or staining.
Use non-sanded grout for joints ≤1/8″ to protect the surface from scratching.
Grout diagonally with a rubber float, wiping promptly with a damp sponge to prevent haze.
Once grout has cured (typically 72 hours), apply a second coat of marble-safe sealer for long-lasting protection.
Maintenance Tips – Keep Surfaces Gleaming
Clean only with pH-neutral stone-safe cleaners; avoid acidic, bleach-based, or abrasive products.
Wipe spills immediately, especially oils, wine, or citrus-based liquids.
Re-seal every 6–12 months depending on traffic and environmental exposure.
Use felt pads under furniture and mats in high-traffic or entry areas to minimize wear.
