Moroccan Cement Tile
Installation Instructions
Installing cement tile is a simple process, but it must be done with care in order to
achieve the best results. Please follow these instructions to ensure a durable and
long lasting cement tile installation.
A) Installation
Recommended products:
Any thin-set mortar used for tile setting
MMTH Uses:
AcrylPro Ceramic Tile Adhesive
1. Tiles can be installed either with a pre-mixed adhesive, or with regular thin-
set. In either case use a high-notched comb trowel to spread the adhesive on
the surface as well as on the back of the tile in order to achieve adequate
adhesion.
2. When using thin-set mortar the back of the tile should be dampened. When
using a pre-mixed adhesive the back of the tile should be cleaned lightly to
ensure adhesion.
3. When installing a pattern we recommend installing the center design first, the
borders, and lastly the field tile that will surround the center design.
4. It is recommended that tiles be pulled from various boxes during installation to
ensure a naturally rich installation.
5. The tiles must be laid by hand and handled carefully to avoid damaging the
edges.
6. The tiles should be installed edge to edge (butt jointed) and laid on a perfectly
leveled and clean surface.
7. Lay the tiles with a 1/16-inch spacing between tiles.
8. Once laid level, press on the tiles using your hands. Using a rubber hammer
to do this could damage the tile’s surface. Cement tiles cannot be grinded
down after they are installed, so it is very important that they are perfectly
leveled during installation.
9. Any residue or mortar left on the surface of the tile must be cleaned
immediately to avoid staining.
10. Do not proceed with installation process until mortar has completely dried.
