Marble and granite mosaic tiles are commonly used in bathrooms and backsplashes, but have become popular in every part of the house. Frame your bed, fireplace, windows, create a pattern on an accent wall, or do an entire wall there really is no end to where you can put it.
Consider laying the bianco carrara marble mosaic tiles out diagonally or in another pattern rather than just side by side, up and down. You can create a much richer, striking looking wall this way.
Normally the basic installation methods is direct bond, backbuttering and conventional wet set .But it's best to consult with the marble mosaic tiles manufacturer for specific installation recommendations.
Direct bond: In the direct-bond method, the mosaic is bonded directly to the substrate with a bonding material, such as a latex-modified mortar or a performance mortar.
Back buttering: The back buttering method involves applying a thin coating of mortar to the back of the mosaic sheet to help ensure adequate coverage. This is done in addition to spreading a layer of mortar on the substrate. Backbuttering may be necessary when installing back-mounted mosaic sheets. This is because the mesh fabric that holds the tiles together can interfere with the mosaic sheet achieving a good bond with the substrate.
Conventional wet set: In the conventional wet set method, a slurry - or bond coat - consisting of sand, cement and lime, is applied to an uncured, still-workable concrete substrate. The mosaic sheets are then installed on top of the bond coat. Any face-mounted paper can be dampened and removed. The installation can be grouted after the bond coat has cured.
