Schluter®-Systems Shower Kits Tiled showers have always represented a considerable challenge to installers. Typically, an installer must place a mortar bed, sloped to the weep holes in the sub-drain, prior to installing the pan liner. Once the “pre-slope” has cured to the point where it can be walked upon, the pan liner is installed, with its tenuous connections to the clamping ring in the sub-drain, seaming, and carefully fitted corners around the curb area, all of which must be bonded with the appropriate solvent-based bonding agent. Each of these steps must be completed, and the weep holes protected from being clogged with mortar, before the shower pan is ready to receive the setting bed for the floor tiles. This conventional methodology requires substantial time and labor. Since shower pan liners are placed below the mortar setting bed in a conventional assembly, moisture is allowed to saturate the mortar bed. This can increase the risk of ...

Information about marble and how it is formed; how marble is processed for use as a building material; practical benefits of marble tile as flooring; artistic value of marble tile
Marble tile as a building material has a long and illustrious “career,” having been used in the courtyards of Caesar, in the palaces of Renaissance Europe, and up to more recent times. Marble tile has become more and more popular for use not only in residential applications, such as foyers, hallways, and in bathrooms, but also in commercial projects for similar uses. One of the great qualities marble can extend to a project is the aura of artistry and old-world elegance that only marble tile can bring.
The reputation of marble tile has endured for thousands of years. One of the things for which marble is known is its role in the making of fine art; overall, it is treasured for its refined, regal, decorative appearance. Marble is also known for its versatility in the making of artifacts from sculptures to monuments, and wall tiles to floor tiles. But because of the associations most people have with marble, no matter what application you have in mind, the result is bound to be viewed as an artistic statement, and one that is meant to last. Your marble tile floor will remain as a monument to itself, as well as to good taste with which it is also associated. These days, marble tile is finding more and more and more applications, ranging from the choice of marble tile in bathrooms to the use of marble tile in the hallways of commercial buildings. You might say that marble, a fixture for use in the Renaissance period, is enjoying a renaissance all of its own.
General Cleaning Clean stone surfaces with a cleaner designated safe for natural stone. Use a clean mop on floors and a soft cloth for other surfaces for best results. Don't use more than the recomended amount of any cleaning product. Too much may leave a film, causing streaks. Change rinse water frequently. Do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar or other acids on marble, travertine or limestone as these can etch the surface of the stone. Do not use scouring powders or creams; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface. ...
