Installation of 
FLOOR & LARGE  
FORMAT TILE
•   Tile may be 
installed over most 
structurally sound 
substrates.
•   Make sure 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. 
•   Doorjambs may be 
undercut for tile to  
slip under.
•   Mark the center point of  
all four walls. 
•   Snap chalk lines  
between the center  
points of opposite walls. 
(Adjust if necessary.) 
•   Using tile spacers, lay out 
a row of loose tiles along 
the center lines in both 
directions. Leave space for 
uniform joints.  
TIP: If cuts leave tiles 
smaller than half of their 
original size, adjust the 
center line by snapping a 
new line a half tile closer to 
the wall. Repeat along other 
center line if necessary. 
•   Divide the room into smaller 
grids (approx. 2 ft. x 3 ft.) by 
snapping additional lines 
parallel to center lines.
