Installation Guide

Laying Mosaic:

Before starting the installation inspect all mosaic sheets and make sure that material is in good condition

and no defects. Identify the starting point where to start guidelines that will help the lay out to be straight

and symmetrical while installing.

The size of the trowel depends on the thickness of the mosaic tiles, thinner the material the smaller the

trowel.

The mosaic, unless otherwise specied by the customer, is usually laid on white mastic or thinset to

avoid altering its color White thinset is usually recommended to use for the glass and other light or

transparent product to avoid discoloration of the background.

After one section is done, use damp sponge to clean up any residues of the thinset that squeezed

up between tiles. Thinsets usually require at least 24 hours for curing, for more time check the manufacturers

recommendation.

Once the starting grid has been marked, using the at side of the v-notched trowel

apply a layer of thinset and use the notched side to go over the thinset to make

uniform depth. Make sure to apply only enough adhesive to area that you can tile

within 15 mins because it dries very quick.

Once the adhesive is spread over the surface start laying down

the mosaic sheets.

Using grout oat press the mosaic sheet against the

surface to guarantee perfect adhesion. Using the same tool correct any

alignment errors by lightly tapping the sides of the sheet. If the sheet starts to

slide down, place few nish nails on the last grout line on the top to keep it in place

and move on the next tile.
