Why Choose This Tile?
The Iceberg Honed Marble Tile is the perfect balance of natural stone elegance and contemporary design. Its honed finish reduces glare while enhancing the marble’s natural depth, and the straight edge allows for tighter joints and seamless installations. Durable, stylish, and low-maintenance, it is equally suited for residential or commercial interiors.
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Flat and Stable
Clean the substrate thoroughly, removing dust, oil, and debris.
Check flatness with a long level; variation should not exceed 1/8″ over 10 ft. Apply a self-leveling compound if necessary.
For wet areas like showers or backsplashes, apply a waterproofing membrane.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Balanced and Seamless
Establish reference lines to center the layout for visual symmetry.
Dry-lay tiles to coordinate veining and achieve a natural flow across Iceberg’s signature patterns.
Mix tiles from multiple boxes to distribute tonal variation evenly.
Maintain 1/16″–1/8″ grout joints for a sharp, clean look with straight edges.
Step 3: Mortar Application – White Thin-Set
Recommended Adhesives
Instructions
Spread mortar with a 1/2″ square-notched trowel for full coverage.
Back-butter each tile to ensure strong bonding and prevent voids.
Work in small sections to keep mortar fresh before tile placement.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Smooth, Precise Cuts
Use a wet saw with a continuous diamond blade for chip-free results.
Dry-fit all cut pieces before setting them.
Smooth exposed edges with a stone file or hand pad if needed.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Accuracy and Alignment
Press tiles firmly into the mortar bed and tap gently with a rubber mallet.
Use a leveling system to reduce lippage and keep transitions flat.
Wipe away excess mortar from the honed surface immediately.
Allow tiles to cure for 24 hours before applying grout.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Long-Lasting Protection
Apply a penetrating sealer before grouting to avoid staining.
Use non-sanded grout for narrow joints to protect honed edges.
Grout diagonally with a rubber float, cleaning promptly as you go.
Once grout has cured, apply a second coat of sealer for maximum protection.
Maintenance Tips – Keep the Natural Beauty
Use pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners. Avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Clean spills quickly, especially oils, wine, or citrus.
Re-seal surfaces every 6–12 months, depending on use.
Protect floors with felt pads under furniture and mats in high-traffic areas.
