What is the recommended coverage of mortar for natural stone tile installation?

For natural stone tile, the required mortar coverage is typically 95% or more, regardless of whether it's installed in interior, exterior, wet, or dry areas. This high coverage ensures a strong bond, prevents hollow spots that can lead to breakage, and supports the tile evenly.
