Maintain consistent spacing for a clean, professional finish, and test a small section to confirm how the stone reacts with chosen grout and sealers. Seal the stone where required, focusing on porous areas, and allow proper curing time before grouting and sealing. During installation, wipe away excess adhesive promptly to prevent residue staining. If you combine natural tiles with mosaic elements, align edges carefully and keep the pattern straight to prevent visual “drift.”
