Installation

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 specified 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.
Once the starting grid has been marked, using the flat
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 float 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 finish nails on the last grout line on the top to keep it
in place and move on the next tile.
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.
