Installing, Sealing and Protecting Marble Tile Flooring
Marble tile installation is identical to tile installation for ceramic or porcelain surfaces. The procedures are really rather simple. Glue the tiles down, grout them, and then seal them after preparing the subfloor. It’s likely that you already have the majority of the tools need to install marble tile if you’ve done tile installation before.
Marble flooring tiles can be used in any area of the home, but are especially popular in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and even as decorative accents for walls and showers.
Before Getting Started
Natural stone such as marble is a more difficult tile to cut, requiring a power wet saw, which can be rented at relatively low daily or weekly rates. But wet saws are not terribly expensive, and you might well want to invest in a saw of your own, especially if you expect to do more tile work.

Marble tiles feature their own distinctive look and impart the room with a mesmerizing finish. The only factor to be given optimum consideration in the involvement of marble tiles is their installation. The fact cannot be denied that installation of marble tiles is challenging enough. One has to possess the right tools and go about the process carefully.
The floor must first be leveled, which is a crucial initial step. Search for flaws and holes, then use a leveling floor compound to fill them.Utilize a measuring tape and some chalk to locate the room’s center. Place the marble tiles on the floor to test the installation by starting in the center and going outward. You can verify the finished pattern and locate the areas where you need to insert cut tiles using this technique.
Apply a thin coating of mortar or glue to the surface using a trowel with a notched edge. Start with the central point and work your way out.
