Cutting the Marble

When you are installing a marble tile floor, you will need to make some cuts to finish the job. While you might try to get by with standard tile snappers, this will not be sufficient when working with marble. While tile snappers are great for ceramic tile, you should not try to cut marble with them. Instead, you will need to use a wet saw for this project. The wet saw needs to have a diamond tipped blade to cut through marble.

Laying the Tiles

Place the tiles in the pattern.Apply a layer of thin-set adhesive on the floor surface using a notched trowel.

Lay marble tiles firmly in the thin-set adhesive.

Position the tiles in place using spacers

Check the level of the tiles.

Measure the dimension of any partial tiles needed by placing one tile on top of the full tile closest to the wall.

Leave tiles undisturbed 24-48 hours to allow adhesive to dry completely.

Real marble tiles have a beautiful, unique look like no other surface, with all their whirling patterns and shade variations.

To ensure patterns match, the Marble Institute of America recommends having your contractor lay out the tiles over the entire surface before installing so you can approve the result. All your tiles should come from the same original batch. IF You want to know about marble ,connect yeyang,We are specialized in unique Chinese marble.
