| Hello, i am about to start a floor tile project and was considering
using
| marble tile. I have done a few ceramic jobs in the past and was
wondering if
| it is the same procedure.

pretty much....yes ...........same procedures
tile is tile.


Do i need different thinset?

white thinset for granite.......NOT GREY



Is staggering tiles a nice effect

"subway tile" style is fine if that is the look you want (looks like
bricklay).



does it just mean more cuts?

same amount of cuts

now.........diagonal staggered grout joints is more cuts and looks
awesome.


| Any advice appreciated.
