Installation Guide – Pacific Mist French Pattern Sandblasted Marble Pavers
Tools & Materials Needed
Materials: crushed stone or gravel base, leveling sand or flexible thin-set mortar, joint filler (polymeric sand, fine sand, or grout), penetrating stone sealer, clean water.
Tools: tape measure, shovel, plate compactor, long level, rubber mallet, screed board, wet saw with diamond blade, grout float, spacers, broom, protective gear (gloves, goggles).
Step 1 — Base Preparation: Stable & Level Foundation
Excavate the area to accommodate the thickness of the pavers plus base layers.
Compact the soil thoroughly.
Spread and compact 4–6″ (100–150 mm) of crushed stone or gravel. For vehicle traffic, increase to 8–12″ (200–300 mm).
Ensure proper drainage with a slope of ~1/4″ per foot (2%).
Apply a 1″ (25 mm) layer of leveling sand or 3/4–1″ (20–30 mm) mortar and screed smooth.
Step 2 — Dry Layout: Plan the French Pattern
Dry-lay the tiles to preview the French Pattern layout and distribute tones evenly.
Mix pieces from multiple crates for a natural, harmonious appearance.
Mark centerlines or reference points for alignment.
Plan edge cuts and corner placements before permanent installation.
Step 3 — Setting the Pavers: Sand-Set or Mortar-Set
Sand-Set Method:
Place pavers on the prepared sand bed.
Tap gently with a rubber mallet to set each piece.
Check level using a long straightedge or level.
Install edge restraints to maintain layout stability.
Mortar-Set Method:
Spread flexible thin-set mortar on the base.
Back-butter each paver for full adhesion.
Set pavers, tap lightly, and check for level alignment.
Allow mortar to cure according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 4 — Joint Spacing: Functional & Natural
Step 5 — Filling Joints
Sand-Set: Sweep polymeric or fine sand into the joints.
Mortar-Set: Use non-sanded or flexible grout suitable for natural marble.
Remove excess material before it hardens.
Test filler on a small area first to avoid staining.
Step 6 — Sealing: Protection & Enhancement
Once joints are fully cured, apply a penetrating stone sealer to enhance color and protect against stains.
Test the sealer on a small sample area first.
Reapply every 1–3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure.
Avoid surface film sealers that may reduce slip-resistance.
Step 7 — Initial Cleaning & Curing
Avoid heavy traffic until mortar or filler is fully cured (24–72 hours).
Sweep and rinse gently to remove dust and debris.
Use pH-neutral cleaners only; avoid acidic or abrasive products.
Maintenance Tips
Sweep or rinse regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
Clean spills promptly to avoid staining.
Avoid salt or harsh chemical deicers.
Reseal periodically to maintain protection and aesthetic appeal.
⚠️ Important Note: Pacific Mist marble is natural stone; color, veining, and texture may vary. Always dry-lay and inspect pavers before final installation to ensure a visually balanced and harmonious layout.
