Marble tile creates a sophisticated look on floors, counters and tables. Grouting marble is a fairly simple process and may be easier than grouting some other types of tile, as excess grout can be washed off of marble tiles easily. A grout color that closely matches the tile color will blend and downplay the shape of the tiles. Choosing a grout color that contrasts with the floor tiles will add more emphasis to the edges of the tiles.

How to Grout Marble Tile
1
Remove the spacers from between tiles with needle-nose pliers.

2
Vacuum the tiles with the hose of a vacuum cleaner or shop vac. This will remove any tile adhesive that was dislodged with removal of the tile spacers.

3
Mix the grout in a clean bucket according to the package directions.

4
Place some grout on the floor or other tiled surface.

5
Using a float, spread the grout over a 2- to 3-square-foot area. Hold the float at a 30- to 45-degree angle to prevent it from catching on the edges of the tile.

6
Hold the float at a 60-degree angle and run it back over the area to remove the excess grout from tile surface.

7
Repeat this process until the entire floor is grouted.

8
Allow the grout to dry for about 15 minutes, then wash the excess grout from the tiles with a damp sponge. Using a circular motion will help loosen any grout that is drying on the tile.

9
Let the grout sit overnight. When the grout is dry, polish the marble tile with a clean, dry dust rag.
