Natural stone installation tips - For a luxurious outcome, the marble installation is done with 1/16'' narrow grout joints.  The natural stone edge should be bullnosed fabricated. Every bathroom should have a custom made corner shelf, windowsill or even a niche etc.. That's the beauty of natural stone. In order to deliver a top notch natural stone job, the contractor needs to be highly skilled in natural stone installations, fabricate his own bullnose, keep the grout joints narrow of no wider than 1/16'', have a good eye for details and be creative. If the hired contractor of your choice, cannot deliver all of the above, you hired the wrong person for the job. It happens all the time.
