Carrara White Honeycomb Mosaic Tile – Installation Guide
Step 1: Surface Preparation – Build a Solid Foundation
Clean and dry the surface, removing dust, oil, and debris.
Ensure the substrate is level, stable, and free of cracks.
Apply a waterproofing membrane in wet areas, like showers.
Remove any trims, outlet covers, or obstacles.
Use leveling compound as needed to create a smooth base.
Step 2: Layout Planning – Achieve Symmetry
Identify the center of the wall or surface for balanced placement.
Dry-lay sheets to check veining consistency and pattern flow.
Adjust placement to minimize awkward cuts at edges.
Use 1.5–3 mm spacers for even grout spacing.
Step 3: Adhesive Application – Use a Trusted Thin-Set
Recommended Brands: Mapei, Laticrete, Ardex
Instructions:
Mix small batches usable within 30 minutes.
Apply with the flat side of a 1/4″ notched trowel.
Comb mortar at a 45° angle for full coverage.
Back-butter sheets for stronger adhesion.
Work in sections to prevent early drying.
Step 4: Cutting & Fitting – Precision Counts
Use a wet saw with a fine diamond blade.
Mark cuts carefully with a pencil.
Smooth edges using a stone file or rubbing block.
Dry-fit tiles before permanent placement.
Step 5: Setting Tiles – Keep Alignment Consistent
Start at the center and work outward.
Press mesh-backed sheets firmly into thin-set.
Use spacers to maintain uniform spacing.
Level tiles with a rubber mallet as needed.
Remove excess thin-set with a damp sponge.
Allow 24 hours to cure before grouting.
Step 6: Grouting & Sealing – Finish Professionally
Use non-sanded grout to protect the honed marble surface.
Apply diagonally with a rubber float.
Wipe grout residue immediately and buff haze after 15–20 minutes.
Let grout cure for 72 hours.
Seal with a penetrating, marble-safe sealer for protection.
Maintenance Tips – Preserve Beauty
Clean only with pH-neutral stone cleaners.
Avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Reseal as needed based on exposure and usage.
Use felt pads under nearby furniture to prevent scratches.
