Installation Guide

joint placement guidelines in EJ171 in the TCNA Handbook
should be followed. Movement joints should be placed every

Custom Building Products Commercial 100% Silicone Caulk
meets this requirement.
When glass tiles are installed properly, they make a beautiful
statement. With CUSTOM’s new Glass Tile Premium Thin-Set
Mortar and high performance grout selections, it is now easier
than ever to achieve the perfect installation. To maintain the
elegance of glass tile, the surface should be cleaned regularly
with a neutral pH cleaner that will not dull the glass surface.

brand cleaners offer a variety of choices that are
safe for routine maintenance of glass tile.
