Marble Flooring Installation
Marble tile is installed in much the same way as ceramic or any other natural stone tile. A layer of cement board (backer board) is first laid over the subfloor, then the tiles are glued down with a thin-set adhesive. After the adhesive dries, the joints between the tiles are filled with cementitious grout. But unlike most ceramic tile, which requires only that the grout lines be sealed, marble requires that the entire surface be sealed immediately after installation, then every year or so after that.
Although the techniques are similar to those for installing ceramic tile, DIY installation can be a tricky affair. Marble tile is a very heavy but brittle stone, and unprepared DIYers may find that they waste a good deal of material through breakage. Proper preparation of the subfloor is critical, and as a natural stone, marble is considerably more difficult to cut and drill, requiring specialty tools. For these reasons, most people choose to have pros install marble floor tiles.
Marble is a great conductor of heat, making it easily adaptable to a variety of below-surface radiant heating systems. Radiant heating can eliminate one of the prime disadvantages of marble tile—its coldness underfoot. A marble floor heated from beneath with radiant coils can bring a rush of cozy warmth that is both unexpected and delightful, especially on cold winter mornings.
