🛠️ Installation Process for Dark Rosa Houdy Granite
Installing Dark Rosa Houdy Granite is a straightforward process when following best practices. Below is a step-by-step guide to ensure optimal results:
1. Subfloor Preparation
- Ensure the subfloor is level, clean, and free of debris.
- Remove any paint or sealants using sandpaper.
- Fill and seal all cracks and crevices, especially when installing over concrete.
- Avoid installing over uneven surfaces, as this may compromise the integrity and finish of the granite.
- Postpone installation if connecting to antique flooring until proper alignment is ensured.
- Use tiles with precise 90-degree corners for accurate alignment.
- In larger rooms, tile spacers help determine cutting dimensions and maintain uniform spacing.
- Prepare mortar by mixing 1 part cement with 5 parts sand and water to achieve the correct consistency.
- Apply using a trowel to a thickness of 6–8 mm.
- Lay tiles using plastic spacers to maintain alignment.
- Press each tile firmly at all corners to eliminate gaps.
- Tap gently with a rubber mallet to ensure full adhesion to the mortar bed.
- Apply grout between tiles to form a strong bond.
- Allow grout to cure completely before cleaning.
- Use grout within 15–20 minutes of preparation to maintain effectiveness.
- Clean the surface with warm water and a sponge to remove dust and residue.
- Seal light-colored granite to enhance its shine and protect against staining.
- Once sealed and cleaned, the granite surface is ready for use.
