Use and Care Guide

Can Aspect be applied to a working surface or to the floor?
These applications are not recommended, as the rubbing could potentially scratch the surface of the tile.
What is the life expectancy of the Aspect Tile?
Aspect tiles and panels will last well-beyond the lifetime of your kitchen, bath or wall project. The tiles and
panels are virtually indestructible under normal use.
Does the surface of an Aspect tile scratch easily?
Not easily, but it can be scratched like any glass surface.
When starting a project, would I work from one side to the other, or from the center out?
Working from the center out would balance the working area and ensure your largest tiles in the middle of your
space. This could be important when a designer pattern is used. However, you can start at one end and work to
the other.
If I wanted to remove a tile (or a few), how would I do so and what would I use?
Start by applying pressure slowly underneath the 3’’ side of a tile and increase pressure lifting the tile up. Note:
Be careful not to damage the adjacent tile. A 1” putty knife or similar tool that applies even pressure across the
surface upon which you are prying is recommended. Note: subsurface material like drywall may be affected due
to the aggressive nature of the tile adhesive which may require touch up or priming prior to replacing the tile.
Will the “peel and stick” adhesive used to apply Aspect damage the surface it is applied to if a tile is removed?
Yes, possibly. Caution is advised when removing tile to eliminate as much old adhesive as possible. Some repairs
may be necessary if this happens.
Can I paint the Aspect tiles, and if so with what kind of paint?
It is not recommended as the coating applied to the surface is a high durability material.
What is the flame spread rate on Aspect tiles?
Aspect tiles meet or exceed ASTM E84 Class 1 and Class A Surface Burn Characteristics.
Do you offer outlet and switch covers?
