Materials
Satori Bianco Glacier 12-in x 12-in Polished Natural Stone Marble
$7 each - I recommend you get at least two so you can make a big spread.
I get mine from Lowes. Check your equivalent big-box chain store for stock.
Note: Make sure you get natural marble stone. There are tiles with a printed marble pattern. These are flimsy and inadequate. You can see it, feel it, sense it. Stay away.
$5 for a pack. You need 4 pieces per one tile.
Once you have the materials, they assembly process is pretty straight forward.
Directions
- With a clean and damp cloth and a few drops of dish detergent—clean the front and back of the marble tile. The tiles will likely be dusty, so clean them thoroughly.
- Let dry for 15 minutes.
- Apply the gripping pads. One per corner—obviously—and place about one 1 centimeter away from each corner. This way, they are not easily visible to your guests.
- Once you place the gripping pads, press them for about 15 seconds to secure adhesion.
- When cleaning, don't use harsh chemicals or bleach. Just stick to water and a small about of dish detergent. Or stone cleaner if you have some.
