INSTALLATION GUIDE
The following are suggested instructions for installing tile. Please note, each installation will vary depending on the materials being used, desired design and other factors.
- Measure coverage area. Add at least 10% extra material to account for breakage or mis‐cuts during installation or to replace any tile element in the future.
- Blending tiles from several boxes during installation is recommended to create a uniform look.
- Plan the placement of the tiles on your wall/floor prior to installation. If you need to cut a mosaic sheet, cut from the back using a utility knife between tiles along the grout joints. Should you need to cut across tiles in a fashion that is not possible with a utility knife, use a wet saw with a diamond blade to cut through the tiles.
- Apply setting materials using the notched side of a notched trowel. Using the flat side of the trowel, smooth out all ridges to achieve consistent even coverage.
- Apply mosaic sheets (mesh side down). Pressing firmly into freshly laid setting material. Using a rubber grout float gently press the tile into the adhesive to ensure complete contact. For best results mix and match from assorted boxes to achieve consistent variation.
- Natural stone should be sealed prior to grouting. A premium penetrating sealer is recommended for a natural look. Please refer to sealer manufacturer’s recommendations for application instructions.
- After 24 hours, mix and apply non‐sanded tile grout. Please refer to grout manufacturer’s recommendations for application instructions.
- Clean all excess grout immediately with a damp sponge. After 12 hours polish off any remaining haze with a dry, clean, soft cloth.
