origin in Italy and it is made up of in a combination of white and gray in
different types of patterns. These are natural stones and can be installed on
floors, walls, sinks, countertops and many other areas. These marble stones are
available in a variety of patterns and designs. For easy installation of these
marbles, one needs to follow certain tips and tricks. Let us discuss them
-
Prepare the
subfloor and draw reference lines
Before installing the marble stones, the
subfloor is required to be prepared. Installing an underlayment of cement board
over a strong plywood subfloor acts as the best foundation for installing these
marble stones. After installing the cement board underlayment, one needs to
draw the reference lines over the surface for installing the marbles
symmetrically over them.
Fix the tiles
with mortar
Following the manufacturer's instruction,
prepare the mortar and spread them over the cement board. Next, place the tile
over the mortar ensuring that it has been placed correctly and then properly
set it with a rubber mallet. Repeat the process to place and set other tiles.
Since, these types of marble stones are quite thick, to get a required size,
one may cut tiles with a wet saw.
Seal the marble
Installations of these marble stones on walls
or floors will not be completed without sealing. One must use an appropriate
sealant for these types of stones to protect them from getting strained. Marble
though appear like hard material, are required to be treated with caution while
installing as they are prone to cracking.
Grout the
marbles
Similarly, like the mortar, prepare the grout
following manufacturer's guideline and apply them between the joints. Once
finished, the entire surface of the marble is required to be cleaned with a
soft sponge to remove any extra grout. The sealants are required to be applied
on grout after waiting for a few days or as per the manufacturer's
instructions.
