Use & Care Guide

full tile. Keep the adhesive a half-inch from the edges. Press the tiles into place. If adhesive
squeezes out around the tiles, be sure to wipe it off before it dries.
What are the recommended tube adhesives that can be used if a tile pops up?
The recommended adhesive is Loctite® PL Premium®, Locktite Fastgrab®, or LePage® PL
Premium®. Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s directions for the adhesive.
What are the reasons a tile may fall off?
Improper substrate preparation
Bumpy, wavy surface
Can grout be used when working with Aspect tiles?
A sand-less grout can be used. A grout containing sand is not recommended as the grout may
scratch the surface of the tile in the cleanup process. If you want a grout-line look, colored or
white silicone caulking will have the same effect and is easier to apply and at the same time
providing a water-tight seal. Be sure to remove excess caulk or grout before it dries.
Can Aspect be exposed to UV Rays and outside elements?
No. Aspect Peel and Stick backsplash tiles are manufactured for indoor use only.
Can Aspect be exposed to heat?
Aspect has a heat index of 200 degrees (F) without causing any damage to the tile or panel. Refer
to your stove (or other heat source) manufacturer for specific information.
Will heat impact the adhesive bond on the tiles?
The adhesive will not be affect by temperatures of 200 degrees (F) or less.
How should the tiles be cut if a full tile is not needed?
A chop saw (motorized miter saw) is recommended for straight cuts. A jig saw or scroll saw is
recommended for non-straight cuts. For circular cuts, a hole saw works well. See Aspect Tile
Installation Guide for additional information. All cutting blades must be fine-toothed “metal
cutting” type. When cutting is complete, use a fine-grit sandpaper or a small metal file to debur
the cut edges. Take the cut tile to the work space and place it in its intended location and make
sure it fits properly. Another cutting method is to use a router. See the Aspect Sheet Installation

What should be used to clean the tiles?
Soap, water and a soft cloth. A glass cleaner or grease cutter can also be used.
