Re: how do marble tiles fair? 18Feb 27, 2014 8:18 am I know of a an very experienced tiler, who on a job I was working on, was to tile with marble, the concrete columns and walls to 1500 high, inside an old solid brick 3 storey building on the ground floor. All looked fine when he had finished,-about 2 months later the glue started to bleed through and showed as dark patches on the face. This glue was recommended by the tile supplier.They all had to be replaced. The tile supplier took the blame and paid the price.,didn't tell the installer he had to seal the back of the tile first.It was all redone.,using new marble tiles and a sealer recomenended by the supplier. Again looked great when finished,but later on the tiles began coming loose. Apparently the sealer as recommended wasn't compatible with the glue. They all had to come off again.,and it was redone at the supplier's expense using porcelain.The tiler refused to do it a third time,can't blame the poor fellow, The work he had put into it,mitreing the corners around the columns, all on 400x400 x about 18mm thick tiles.
