Some of our Techniques for Marble flooring/cladding
Leveling
PCC (Plain Cement Concrete)-
We perform PCC only when the existing surface is not properly leveled. We follow PCC standards and prepared with a 1:4:8 ratio (1 part cement, 4 parts sand, and 8 parts aggregate) mixed with water. PCC Is a crucial preparatory layer before marble installation, providing a stable, level, and firm base. It prevents ground settlement, moisture penetration, and ensures long-term durability of the marble flooring. Proper curing of PCC ensures a strong bond and uniform support for the marble.
Choosing best possibilities
Dry layout –
We arrange all marble slabs are arranged on the floor without adhesive to finalize the pattern, color flow, and joint alignment. This ensures visual consistency, helps avoid cutting errors, and allows client approval before fixing. It’s especially important for book-matching and vein-matching designs.
Long-lasting and secure installation
Surface Texturing-
We are mechanically roughening the back side of the marble slab using tools like an angle grinder fitted with a diamond cup wheel or abrasive disc. The goal is to create a coarse, uneven surface that significantly improves the mechanical grip between the marble and the adhesive. Proper texturing removes any dust or smoothness that could weaken the bond.
Reduce adhesive wastage and increase bonding
Both side buttering –
Adhesive (tile adhesive or thin mortar) is applied to both the prepared floor surface and the back of the marble slab. we are Using a notched trowel (reduce wastage) to spread adhesive evenly. Back-buttering the marble is equally important to eliminate any air pockets and to promote maximum contact between the marble and the substrate. it is minimizing the risk of hollow spots, movement, or detachment over time.
Large marble cladding - safety step
Mechanical anchoring systems (Clamp) –
When installing large-format heavy marble panels for wall cladding, we use clamps or brackets along with adhesive. These heavy slabs must be handled with care and supported using mechanical anchoring systems. The Anchoring reduces the risk of slabs detaching over time due to gravity, vibrations, or thermal expansion.
