Many types of modern shower materials are available, but nothing quite matches the look and feel of real marble. You can install marble wall tiles in your shower in much the same way you install ceramic tiles except the straight-cut edges require you to level out the tops of the tiles with each other. This gives the walls the feel of a solid slab of stone. Using a plastic level will ensure you don’t scratch the marble. Start with a properly constructed shower base and walls of cement board. Instructions as follows: Firstly, measure across one shower wall, find the middle and use your level and pencil to mark out a vertical line at that point from the top of the wall to the bottom. Secondly, spread thin-set mortar over the bottom half of the wall with a notched trowel. You will be able to see your vertical line through the combed pattern of the mortar. Thirdly, press the bottom row of marble tiles into place starting at the center line. Put spacers between each of the tiles as you hang them. Put spaces below the tiles as well, to separate them from the shower floor. Cut the tiles at the ends with your wet saw to fit against the corners, leaving 1/8 inch of space there. Fourthly, hold your level across the surface of all the tiles at once and firmly press to get the surfaces of the tiles even with one another. Fifthly, install the second row up in the same way, starting at the middle line and working toward the edges, putting spacers between all the tiles. Use the wet saw to cut around the shower fixtures as needed. Sixthly, repeat the process for each wall of the shower room. Let the tiles set overnight. Remove the spacers. Seventhly, grout each wall from the top, working downward and using a grout float to press grout into the spaces between the tiles. Don’t grout the spaces along the bottom of the walls by the floor or the vertical corners between the walls. Wipe off the excess grout with a damp sponge. Eighthly, allow the grout to dry for 24 hours. Caulk the spaces along the bottom of the walls by the floor and the vertical corners between the stone walls. Let it all set for another 48 hours before using the shower. Finally, let me have a conclusion.
