Sealing Of Marble Tile Before Laying

[madmax67 0]

I have an intention to bring in marble tiles from Spain, coz it is much cheaper than Singapore.

As it is meant for my landed home, I worry about water seepage from the ground. When that happens, the marble tile will grow dark and patchy. The granite tiles at Lor Chuan MRT station is a good example.

Most of the marble factories here will seal all sides using a sealant to prevent this from happening. Does anyone know what kind of sealant or anyone who can provide such a service?

Thanks.

1) Do waterproofing for your living room before you lay your marble

2) All stone suppliers will provide this service but if your buy from them.

3) It might be cheaper if you source for project leftover tiles (means condos, malls) from Futar, Tien Seng, Polybuilding. Could be as cheap as $6-9 can't rem if it's psf or sqm

Thanks.

1. There is waterproofing done at the new place. I am being kiasu.

2. The tiles are crema marfil grade A tiles. Price wise, they are less than half what we see at shops.

3. A friend bought project leftover tiles but the colour was so mismatched that she gave them away.

4. As long as I can seal the tile, it is definitely a go for me to direct import. The question remains - how?
