MOSAICS

STEP 1: SURFACE PREPARATION STEP 2: MEASURE

CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

• Tile may be installed over most

structurally sound substrates.

• Make sure the surface is clean,

smooth, dry and free of wax,

soap scum and grease.

• Any damaged, loose or uneven

areas must be repaired, patched

and leveled.

• Remove any moldings, trim, appliances

or anything that could interfere with

installation.

• Start by measuring the square

footage of the wall you are

planning to tile, making sure

to account for any switches and

outlets.

• Find the center point of the wall,

using a level to draw a plumb

line along the wall’s center.

•

Lay out a row of loose tiles across

the bottom of the wall from the

center line leaving uniform joints

between tiles.

• Once you have this initial row of

loose tiles laid out, measure to

determine what cuts need to be

made so that all tiles ﬁt into the

working area.

It is recommended to use a diamond blade. It is important to use the proper blades because blades designed for ceramic tile will chip the stone. • If a wet saw is needed, ensure that the mosaic is dry before adhering it to the substrate.
