Been reading a piece on marble tiling in Tauntons Tiling Complete. An American book and they say (quote):- You must protect black,red.and green marble tiles from moisture,which can (believe it or not) cause them to curl or warp when they're laid with thinset.Coating the back of each tile with epoxy prevents moisture penetration still allowing the thinset to bond.(unquote). Sounds a bit drastic.
