Precautions & Installation Guide for Black Marble Mosaic

1. Precautions for Laying Black Marble Mosaic

When installing black marble mosaic, follow these guidelines to ensure a high-quality and visually appealing finish:

✔ Consistent Gaps – The gap between each tile should match the spacing between individual mosaic particles to maintain uniformity.
✔ Secure Adhesion – Every mosaic piece must be fully compacted and glued to ensure a strong bond.
✔ Attention to Order – Mosaics rely on precise color and pattern arrangements. Any mistake can lead to rework, wasting time and materials.
✔ Clean & Smooth Finish – After installation, ensure that:

• Caulking is tight
• No tiles are misaligned or skewed
• No stains, glue, or other residues remain on the surface

2. Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Black Marble Mosaic

1️⃣ Surface Preparation

• Ensure the substrate (wall, floor, or countertop) is clean, dry, and level.
• Apply a thin layer of tile adhesive or white cement before laying the mosaic.

2️⃣ Applying the Mosaic Sheets

• Carefully place the mesh-backed mosaic onto the surface.
• Maintain consistent spacing between the mosaic sheets and particles.
• Follow the arrow direction marked on the backing paper for proper alignment.
• Press down firmly to remove any air pockets and ensure full adhesion.

3️⃣ Soaking & Backing Paper Removal

• Wait 30 minutes after installation.
• Use a sponge or soft cloth to soak the surface.
• After 5 minutes, gently peel off the backing paper.

4️⃣ Final Adjustments & Caulking

• Check for skewed, warped, or hollowed-out sections and correct if necessary.
• Ensure the caulking is tight and evenly applied between tiles.
• The top edge deviation of a wall installation should be within 2mm.

5️⃣ Cleaning & Maintenance

• Wipe the surface with a damp cloth regularly.
• For stubborn stains, use a special stone cleaner and rinse with water.
• Avoid using acidic or harsh cleaning agents that may damage the stone.
