The Work size which we try to maintain for better technical performance is + 2 mm on an average. It is advisable to maintain a gap of 1-2mm between every two tiles to allow for possible expansion as per BIS/EN tolerance norms. This would give the coverage area as mentioned in the carton.

Complete the tile laying process by pressing the cut Marbonite firmly into place along the walls / floors.

Allow 3-4 days for bed curing. After this period fill the joints with grouts.

15 minutes after finishing the grouting process, wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge and polish the tiles with a soft and dry cloth for a clean surface. The tiles can also be cleaned by mild acid (however Hydrofluoric acid and its derivatives should not be used).
