MARBLE WALL MISTAKES

DON'T ruin your dream bath! The 5 costliest mistakes when installing marble walls.

No Waterproofing

Marble is porous! You MUST apply a liquid waterproofing membrane over the backer board to prevent mold & tile failure.

Wrong Thin-Set

Use WHITE, modified thin-set. Gray thin-set bleeds through light marble, causing permanent discoloration.

Skip Pre-Sealing

Seal your marble BEFORE you grout! This protects the stone from absorbing grout pigment and staining during the process.

The Flawless Finish

Plan your layout (dry-lay), back-butter every tile, and always use stone-safe materials.
