Why Choose This Tile?

Its matte finish softens reflections, while the beveled edges create gentle shadow lines that enhance the overall design. With a balanced, neutral palette, this tile adapts effortlessly to both modern and transitional interior styles.
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Level and Stable
Thoroughly clean the substrate, removing dust, oil, or old adhesive.
Check flatness with a long straightedge or level; surface variation should not exceed 1/8″ over 10 ft, as large-format tiles are sensitive to uneven surfaces.
Apply a waterproofing membrane in moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms or kitchens.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Vein and Balance
Snap chalk lines to establish centerlines and ensure a visually balanced layout.
Dry-lay several tiles to preview Iceberg marble’s icy veining and tone variation; mix tiles from multiple boxes for natural consistency.
Maintain 1/16″–1/8″ grout spacing. Beveled edges accentuate grout lines, so keep spacing uniform.
Step 3: Mortar Application – White Thin-Set
Recommended Adhesives
Instructions
Spread mortar using a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for full coverage.
Back-butter each tile to ensure complete contact and reduce the risk of voids or cracking.
Work in small sections to maintain adhesive workability.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Clean, Precise Edges
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Flat and Aligned
Position tiles carefully and use a leveling system to minimize lippage across the surface.
Align beveled edges accurately; misalignment will be noticeable due to the joint profile.
Use spacers for uniform grout lines and remove excess mortar promptly.
Allow adhesive to cure for 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect and Finish
Pre-seal the honed marble with a penetrating sealer before grouting to prevent staining.
Use non-sanded grout to protect the smooth surface and beveled edges.
Grout diagonally across joints and clean the tile surface immediately to prevent haze.
Once grout has fully cured (usually 72 hours), apply a second coat of sealer for long-lasting protection.
Maintenance Tips – Preserve Natural Beauty
Clean with pH-neutral, non-acidic stone cleaners only.
Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining or etching.
Re-seal every 6–12 months depending on traffic and environmental conditions.
Use furniture pads and entry mats to reduce wear and scratches.
