Installation Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Flat and Solid
Make sure the substrate is clean, dry, and stable. Remove all dirt, oil, and old adhesive.
Check flatness with a long straightedge; surface variation should not exceed 1/8″ over 10 feet, as large polished tiles require a smooth base.
Apply a waterproofing membrane in wet areas such as showers or kitchen backsplashes.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Vein and Tone Harmony
Mark layout lines at the center of the room for a symmetrical design.
Dry-lay several tiles to evaluate color tone and the natural veining of Iceberg marble. Mix tiles from different boxes for a balanced look.
Maintain 1/16″–1/8″ grout spacing to emphasize the straight edge profile and achieve clean, modern lines.
Step 3: Mortar Application – Use White Thin-Set
Recommended Thin-Set Options
Application Tips
Spread mortar evenly with a 1/2″ square-notched trowel.
Back-butter each tile for 100% coverage to prevent voids and stress cracks.
Work in sections and never let adhesive dry before tile placement.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Clean Results
Use a wet saw with a continuous-rim diamond blade for smooth, chip-free cuts.
Test-fit cut pieces before final placement.
Polish exposed edges with a marble hand pad when needed.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Accuracy is Key
Place tiles carefully and use a leveling system to minimize lippage across large surfaces.
Keep straight edges aligned and grout joints uniform.
Wipe away mortar immediately from the polished surface to prevent staining or haze.
Allow tiles to set for 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Long-Lasting Protection
Pre-seal marble with a penetrating sealer before grouting to protect from stains.
Use non-sanded grout to prevent scratching the polished surface.
Apply grout with a rubber float, working diagonally. Clean off excess promptly with a damp sponge.
After 15–30 minutes, buff the surface with a dry cloth.
Once grout cures (approx. 72 hours), apply a second coat of sealer.
Maintenance Tips – Keep the Shine
Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners designed for marble.
Avoid acidic or bleach-based products.
Reseal every 6–12 months, depending on usage.
Clean spills immediately—especially oils, wine, or citrus juices—to prevent etching.
Shipping & Storage

Important Note
Iceberg Marble is a natural material with unique veining and subtle tonal variation. Always dry-lay tiles prior to installation for the best visual balance. Stonemarket USA is not liable for variations that are inherent to natural stone.
