Easy Installation Tips for Marble Effect Wall and Floor Tiles

1. Follow these steps to achieve the timeless look of marble effect wall and floor tiles:

2. Measure the wall or floor dimensions to calculate the number of tiles required. Use a grout calculator (available on each product page) for accuracy.

3. If tiles preexist, either tile over them or remove them with a chisel and hammer away their remains. 

4. Fill any cracks or holes to ensure the surface is solid. For floors, consider using tile backer boards or a self-levelling screed for a smooth, even surface. Allow time for everything to dry.

5. Sand down any bumps for a flat surface, then clean the area to remove dust and dirt.

6. Apply a primer to the walls or floors to improve adhesive grip.

7. Dry-lay your tiles to see where cuts are needed, then apply adhesive to about 1 square meter at a time.

8. Use a grooved trowel to create adhesive grooves. Then, lay the tiles in straight rows, adding spacers for even and uniform grout lines. Use a spirit level to check tile alignment.

9. After 24 hours, remove the spacers and apply grout using a float, pressing it deep into the tile joints.

10. After half an hour, wipe down the tiles with a wet sponge to remove excess grout.

11. Apply a sealer to protect tiles from moisture(Optional).

FAQ

1. How are marble effect tiles made?

Marble effect tiles are designed by cutting-edge digital printing on a ceramic or porcelain foundation, replicating natural marble's innate veins and texture. This method combines precision engineering with long-lasting materials for an authentic appearance at a fraction of the cost of natural marble.

2. What is a marble effect?

The term refers to tiles crafted through intricate high-definition digital printing to mimic the appearance of natural marble's flowing veins and unique color patterns—these tiles channel marble's exquisite natural allure with lower maintenance and upkeep associated with natural stone. 

3. Are marble effect tiles slippery?

While some marble-effect tiles can become slippery when wet or constantly exposed to moisture, numerous manufacturers create versions with non-slip coatings or matte finishes, suitable for heavy traffic and damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

4. Are marble tiles stronger than ceramic?

While natural marble tends to be more durable than ceramic, it is also more prone to scratches and stains over time or in damp conditions. Marble effect tiles, however, offer strength, resilience, and resistance to damage and decay, providing both visual charm and practicality that endures.
