INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS | FLOOR & LARGE FORMAT TILE | PAGE 1 of 4
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.
