He is correct to the extent that green marble is porous. However, you can just get the special thinset for green marble. About $25/bag at H. Depot, AFAIR. Bob You're wrong. |

Adhesive for Green Marble Tile?
Lock Bar wrote:
Hi Folks, I am remodeling a bathroom and I had the idea of myself laying down about 30 square feet of nice green marble floor tile. The price of the tile is approx. $7.00 per square foot, and I'm not arguing about that. But the salesman at the tile store told me that green marble floor tile requires a special epoxy based adhesive. He said green marble is so porous it stands a good chance of warpage and discoloration if standard floor tile adhesive is used. The special epoxy adhesive will run me around $150-$200 just to lay down this 30 feet of tile! I just want to know if I'm being "hosed" here on the epoxy story, and if that glues cost is way out of line. Any advice will be appreciated. he's right. latapoxy. latapoxy 300 to be exact. http://www.laticrete.com/ |
