Step 1: Surface Preparation – Clean, Flat, and Dry
Ensure the substrate is free from dust, grease, and debris.
Check flatness with a long level to prevent lippage.
Apply a waterproofing membrane in wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
Use a self-leveling underlayment to correct uneven surfaces.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Balanced & Aesthetic
Snap chalk lines from the center for even tile placement.
Dry-lay tiles to inspect tone and veining distribution.
Mix tiles from multiple boxes to achieve natural variation.
Use spacers for 1/16″ to 1/8″ grout joints, ideal for straight-edged honed tiles.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – White Mortar for Safety
Recommended: Mapei Ultraflex LFT White, Laticrete 254 Platinum White, Ardex X77 White.
Apply adhesive with a 1/2″ square-notched trowel.
Back-butter tiles to ensure full coverage and eliminate voids.
Work in small sections to prevent mortar from drying prematurely.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Precision Cuts
Use a wet saw with a continuous rim diamond blade for clean cuts.
Measure twice to avoid miscuts near edges or fixtures.
Lightly finish exposed edges with a stone file if needed.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Flat & Even
Use a tile leveling system to prevent uneven surfaces.
Align tiles with spacers for uniform joint spacing.
Press and tap tiles gently with a rubber mallet.
Remove excess mortar immediately to protect the honed surface.
Let adhesive cure at least 24 hours before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Protect Your Investment
Use non-sanded or finely sanded grout to prevent scratching.
Apply grout diagonally with a rubber float and remove excess promptly.
After 72 hours, apply a penetrating sealer suitable for honed marble.
Maintenance Tips
