POLISHED MARBLE FLOOR TILE FIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare

These tiles can be laid onto either a prepared concrete floor, treated with self levelling compound or a suitably prepared timber floor overlaid with suitable water resistant flooring grade plywood. We would recommend using a 6 mm or 9 mm board where there is the slightest movement. The boards should then be coated with flexible primer or PVA.

2. Plan

Mix the contents of two or three packs of tiles to achieve an acceptable blend of colour and shade. Position the first tile (key tile) in the centre of the room to avoid uneven gaps around the edges.

3. Fixing

Spread the floor tile adhesive, working on one square metre at a time. Bed tiles into the adhesive so no air is trapped underneath. Put spacers in between the tiles. Wipe tiles with a damp sponge to remove any excess adhesive.

4. Cutting

Leave tiles for 24 hours before cutting and laying the edge tiles.
Natural tiles are very hard materials which we recommend cutting with a wet, diamond wheel cutter.

5. Sealing

Thoroughly clean and dry the tiles and then apply impregnator/sealer before grouting. Following the sealer manufacturers instructions.

6. Grouting

Allow 12 hours for the tile adhesive to set before grouting. Use the grout float to grout well into the tile joints and remove any excess immediately with a damp sponge. Allow to dry before applying a second coat of sealer. Always follow the grout manufacturer's instructions. Use a grout finisher to obtain a professional result. Use a suitable spreader to apply the grout. Clean the surface with a damp sponge as you go. Polish off powdery residue with dry cloth.
