Please let me know if you have any other questions! Ray,

There's some slope toward the drain, but I'm worried the pebble tile won't drain well. What do you think? I want to install sliced pebble tile over the existing 4×4 ceramic tile in my shower floor.

I have a cultured marble shower including floor. The previous owner applied a white paint with a polyurethane or a polymer resin sealant to the floor. Should I just install over what is there now, Remove the paint, or remove the cultured marble floor and start from scratch(I hope concrete is under it all)? thanks...im a new home owner so sorry if this seems ridiculous.

Be sure to apply enough to level out the spaces between the bricks before attaching the stone tile to it. Take a look at our <a href="http://www.stratastones.net/pebble-tile-installation.php" rel="nofollow">installation instructions</a>. If you have any further questions please post them here or call us at 800-807-1549! Janene,

Should I mud or still stick with thin set? Was thinking about mudding brick flat and then going from there instead of installing a backer-board. Any suggestions? Am I way off to begin to attempt this myself? I've done a fair amount of tile work and have installed a river rock fireplace before using wire backing...didn't work well, gave up on it and just slowly mudded the rock into place. I want to choose the best method FIRST this time and stick with it to a gorgeous finish. You're suggestions are very welcome. I am beginning to pebble my existing brick fireplace.

For our Mini Pebble tile you may want to use a non-sanded grout depending on the application. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Margaret,

Definitely DO mask off the drain first. The grout makes a mess of things if you do not (learned the hard way...). Also, consider grouting by hand between the stones to avoid HUGE amounts of excess grout over the stones. They look better with a bit less grout. Excellent on the feet.
