Base Preparation Guidelines
Concrete Subfloor
- Suitable for ground-level installations
- Must be fully cured for at least 28 days before installation
- Apply a self-leveling compound to correct any unevenness
- Ensure surface is clean, dry, and debris-free
Plywood Underlayment
- Recommended for upper floors or existing wood subfloors
- Use exterior-grade plywood with a minimum thickness of 3/4 inch
- Secure with screws, leaving 1/8 inch expansion gaps
- Add a cementitious backer board for enhanced stability
Moisture Protection
- Install a vapor barrier (e.g., 6-mil polyethylene) over concrete subfloors to prevent moisture damage
- For plywood underlayment, apply a waterproof membrane to protect the marble
Adhesive Recommendations
- Use a high-quality, flexible thin-set mortar specifically designed for natural stone
- Apply with a notched trowel to ensure even coverage and strong bonding
- Allow adhesive to cure for 24-48 hours before proceeding to grouting
Leveling and Curing
- Check for levelness using a long straightedge before grouting
- Ensure the marble tiles are properly aligned and flat
- Allow full curing time for maximum adhesion
Grouting and Sealing
- Use unsanded grout for tight joints (less than 1/8 inch wide)
- Seal the marble after grouting to protect against stains and moisture
- Regular sealing maintenance is recommended for long-term beauty
Durability and Aesthetic
- The 3/4 inch thickness ensures resistance to cracking and wear in busy foyers
- Michelangelo Grey marble offers a sophisticated, low-maintenance surface
- Subtle veining adds natural character without overwhelming the space
Installation Tips
- Always work with a professional installer for best results
- Acclimate marble tiles to room temperature for 24 hours before installation
- Use a wet saw with a diamond blade for precise cutting
- Clean spills immediately to prevent staining on the porous marble surface
