Installation and Handling Guidelines

⚠️ IMPORTANT: LIGHT NATURAL MARBLE SETTING & SEALING PROTOCOL

• Pure White Thin-Set Mortar Required: Thassos White marble is highly translucent. Always install using a high-performance, polymer-modified pure white thin-set mortar (ANSI A118.4 / ANSI A118.15). Using gray thinset will bleed through the marble, permanently darkening its white background.
  
  
• Pre-Sealing Before Grouting: Natural marble is porous. Apply a high-quality penetrating natural stone sealer to the tile face prior to grouting to prevent grout pigments and haze from staining the delicate Thassos white body or Ming green dots.
  
  
• Non-Abrasive Grout Selection: Use a non-sanded grout or flexible grout formulated for delicate natural stone to avoid scratching the honed marble surface.
  
  
• Color Blending: Natural marble exhibits natural shade variations. Lay out border strips before setting to blend white fields and green dot tones seamlessly.
  
  

Care and Maintenance

• Routine Cleaning: Wipe down periodically using warm water and a neutral pH natural stone cleaner or mild dish soap.
  
  
• Avoid Acidic Cleaners: Never use vinegar, bleach, muriatic acid, or abrasive bathroom cleaners, which will etch and dull calcium carbonate marble surfaces.
  
  
• Periodic Resealing: Reapply a penetrating stone sealer every 1 to 2 years (more frequently in wet shower environments) to preserve water repellency and stain defense.
