Installation Recommendations

Professional installation by an experienced licensed tile contractor is recommended. Always follow the latest TCNA Tile Installation Handbook and applicable ANSI installation standards.

Recommended Substrates:

• Properly cured mortar beds meeting ANSI A108.1B.
• Cementitious backer units (CBU) meeting ANSI A118.9.
• Concrete slabs cured for a minimum of 28 days.
• Gypsum board in dry interior applications only.
• Waterproof membranes are required behind cement backer board installations in wet areas.

Installation Guidelines:

• Measure the installation area carefully and purchase at least 10% additional material for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
• Inspect all sheets before installation and blend material from multiple boxes to achieve the most natural appearance.
• Seal natural marble before grouting using a premium penetrating sealer.
• Use installation materials that meet or exceed current TCNA recommendations.
• Follow all manufacturer instructions for setting materials and grout.

Recommended Thin-Set Mortars:

• MAPEI Adesilex P10 Bright White Thin-Set Mortar mixed with Keraply Mortar Additive
• BOSTIK ReFlex Ultra-Premium Latex Modified Thin-Set Mortar
• LATICRETE 254 Platinum or equivalent premium white thin-set mortar
• TEC Super Flex Premium Performance Universal Latex-Modified Thin-Set Mortar

Grout Selection:

Sanded grout and certain premixed urethane grouts may scratch honed marble surfaces. Always verify grout compatibility with the grout manufacturer before installation and perform a test application when appropriate.

Cutting & Installation:
Trim mesh-mounted sheets from the back where possible. For cutting individual marble pieces, use a wet saw equipped with a premium diamond blade designed for natural stone. Use a rubber grout float to ensure complete mortar coverage and proper adhesion.

Cleaning:
Remove excess grout promptly with a damp sponge during installation. After curing, remove any remaining grout haze using a clean, dry cloth. Clean regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner formulated specifically for natural stone surfaces.

Maintenance & Care:
Maintain the honed finish by cleaning with a soft cloth or soft-bristle brush together with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic cleaners, bleach, vinegar, or abrasive products that may damage the marble surface. Periodic sealing is recommended to help preserve the stone's natural beauty and simplify routine maintenance.

Important Notes:

• Inspect all material before installation. Installation constitutes acceptance of the product.
• Natural marble may contain color variation, veining, pits, fossils, and other characteristics that enhance the authentic beauty of the stone.
• Images are intended as a general representation of color and finish. Actual material may vary.
• Professional installation by a licensed tile contractor is recommended.
• Always follow the latest TCNA Tile Installation Handbook.
