Installation Guide
Tools You Will Need
- Notched trowel (3/8 inch or 1/2 inch, depending on tile size)
- Rubber mallet
- Wet saw or tile cutter with a diamond blade for marble
- Level and measuring tape
- Grout float and sponge
- Bucket and mixing paddle
- Safety goggles and gloves
Materials Required
- Thin-set mortar (white, for light-colored marble to avoid staining)
- Grout (unsanded, to protect delicate marble edges)
- Sealer (penetrating sealer for natural stone)
- Backer board or cement board (for stability)
- Mesh tape for joints
Site Preparation Steps
- Ensure a Clean, Level Subfloor: Remove any debris, dust, or old adhesive. The surface must be flat and dry. If needed, use a self-leveling compound.
- Check the Medallion: Unbox and let it acclimate to room temperature for 24 hours. Inspect for any cracks or damage.
- Plan the Layout: Mark the center point of your installation area. Dry-lay the medallion to confirm alignment with surrounding tiles.
- Prepare the Backer Board: Install cement board over plywood or concrete, securing with screws every 6 inches. Tape and mud the seams.
- Mix Mortar: Follow manufacturer instructions. Mix only what you can use in 20-30 minutes to prevent drying.
Installation Tips
- Apply mortar evenly with the notched trowel, holding at a 45-degree angle.
- Gently press the medallion into place, using a rubber mallet to level it. Check with a level frequently.
- Allow mortar to cure for 24-48 hours before grouting.
- Use unsanded grout to avoid scratching the marble. Apply with a float, then wipe excess with a damp sponge.
- Seal the medallion after grout dries to protect its natural beauty from stains and moisture.
Transform your space with the timeless beauty of these handcrafted medallions—where craftsmanship meets natural elegance.
