        "text": "Dry-fitting allows the installer to blend natural vein patterns, balance coloration, and avoid awkward thin cut tiles along visible walls. Unlike uniform manufactured tile, every piece of natural marble has distinctive coloration, fissures, and mineral veins. Laying the tiles across the dry floor prior to spreading mortar ensures the homeowner can approve the visual distribution of darker and lighter pieces. It also confirms that layout lines stay square and centered with room features like vanities, islands, or entry doors.",
