I just answered another question from your area a couple days ago about Crema Marfil...I like it.

If I understand your question properly you are asking about the installation method for installing a Natural Stone over a "slab" foundation?? Also to address crack suppression and or humidity issues. Here in the US we have the vast majority of our standard installs with a thinset application. Where a better or improved bond is called for then a "modified" thinset that has "Latex" added will accomplish this goal. This form of cement based adhesive is available around the World and certainly in your Region, ok? The mixing rate is accurately specified right on the side of each and every bag that is sold. The proper additive amount is already in the bag so only water need be added. The important thing to always remember when using a "modified" thinset is that the thinset is mixed "twice" with a 10-12 minute interval between them so that the chemicals within the adhesive can activate and react together. Then it is ready to use to install the tile after the second mix. Now to address the cracking and dampness issue you need to employ an "uncoupling membrane" that will "isolate" the sub-floor from the finished tile layer and protect it from whatever is happening below the membrane and will not affect what is above it...follow me? My preferred product is a membrane called "Ditra" produced by a Company called Schluter Inc. This is a very easy material to use and the cost is not expensive but that doesn't mean that it's not a quality product...it is a very good product and Schluter is a quality Company that stands behind all the materials it produces. Grout selection will be limited to a "non-sanded" grout because Crema Marfil being a quality produced Marble you will/should be installing this material with the standard 1/16" grout joint. With a grout joint this tight only a nonsanded grout will work for this install. To me the most important visual ingredient is the Stone itself and not the grout joint so I would employ a color that is as close to the color of the Marble as possible, this will make only the Marble stand out visually and the grout joint to fade into the background...perfect. Now the sealer is a different issue to me as I prefer a Manufacturer that is not quite as mainstream as some of the other big name Companies. I have long used a sealer produced by a Company named "GranQuartz". They produce my preferred sealer for both a "color enhanced" requirement and a "penetrating" requirement which is the typical applications most often requested. You can find out about them on the Internet as well...ok? Now I left the "installation method" question for last as while there is only a couple "approved" methods of install for Natural Stone if you ask 10 different experienced Stone installers you might get 10 different "variations" of how they do it. To simplify my variation is to start with a 1/2"x1/2" square notch trowel, then a skim/bond coat to prep the sub-strate (slab surface) then a comb coat then another skim/bond coat (backbuttering) over the entire bottom of the Crema Marfil. This is important as it will "mask" any trowel/moisture bleed through that will sometimes appear after the tiles have been set. It will also help to promote a total 100% contact bond for each tile. Now one thing that is also very important is to use only "White" thinset for the setting adhesive as this will help to preserve the "light coloring" of the Crema Marfil and make it appear more natural than if you were to use a dark grey thinset that will consequently darken the Marble making it appear dull and not bright. Ok, I guess that about does it OAQ...I hope this helps you with your project, feel free to return anytime... Perry V.
