Marble advice - TilersForums.com

Hey guys need your opinions on this one.

Been to look at a job today in Bath, customer has 35 m2 of marble to be layed in kitchen/dining room.......no big deal.
However the problem is the customer bought the tiles a few months ago and they have been left on the pallet on his driveway with nothing more that a peice of chipboard on top to 'Protect' them. I have advised him to get them indoors asap to dry out. He wants the floor layed end of November begining of December.

How long do you think they should be left to dry out? And do you think there will be any other issues I should look out for?

Hi, i don't think you will have problems with marble . Do you know what marble is it?

 

[DHTiling]

I would get them out of the crate as well...

Tony: Customer didn't have any idea what Marble it is, bought off the internet?!

Dave: I told him to stand them up around the room, not to stack onto of each other.

Oh and to add.. probs a couple days to dry enough to tile with, if out the crate and in doors.
