The following are suggested instructions for installing tile. Please note, each installation will vary
depending on the materials being used, desired design and other factors.
1. Measure coverage area. Add at least 10% extra material to account for breakage or mis‐cuts during
installation or to replace any tile element in the future.
2. Blending tiles from several boxes during installation is recommended to create a uniform look.
3. Plan the placement of the tiles on your wall/floor prior to installation. If you need to cut a mosaic
sheet, cut from the back using a utility knife between tiles along the grout joints. Should you need to
cut across tiles in a fashion that is not possible with a utility knife, use a wet saw with a diamond blade
to cut through the tiles.
4. Apply setting materials using the notched side of a notched trowel. Using the flat side of the trowel,
smooth out all ridges to achieve consistent even coverage.
5. Apply mosaic sheets (mesh side down). Pressing firmly into freshly laid setting material. Using a
rubber grout float gently press the tile into the adhesive to ensure complete contact. For best results
mix and match from assorted boxes to achieve consistent variation.
6. Natural stone should be sealed prior to grouting. A premium penetrating sealer is recommended for
a natural look. Please refer to sealer manufacture’s recommendations for application instructions.
7. After 24 hours, mix and apply non‐sanded tile grout. Please refer to grout manufacturer’s
recommendations for application instructions.
8. Clean all excess grout immediately with a damp sponge. After 12 hours polish off any remaining haze
with a dry, clean, soft cloth.
