Installation Guide

1. Choose the adhesive color that
most closely matches the color of
the product and apply it following
the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Remove tile spacers and spread
grout on the tile surface, forcing
down into joints with a rubber grout
float or squeegee.
3. Tilt the float at a 45° angle and
remove excess grout from surface
immediately with the edge of float.
13. Tilt it at a 90° angle and scrape it
diagonally across tiles.
4. Wait 15–20 minutes for grout to
set slightly, then use a damp sponge
to clean grout residue from surface
and smooth the grout joints, rinsing
sponge often.
5. Let dry until grout is hard and
haze forms on tile surface, then
polish with a soft cloth and wait 72
hours for heavy use. NOTE: Don’t
apply sealers or polishes for three
weeks, and then only in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
6. Perform the curing of the joints 24
hours after the installation is com-
pleted: clean the joints again with a
sponge moistened with water.
7. Allow the adhesive dry as indicat-
ed by the manufacturer. In a floor
installation, do not walk or put
objects before drying is complete, as
it could cause unevenness.
1. Once the drying time is complete,
thoroughly clean the installed prod-
uct, using a mop, soft bristle broom,
neutral detergent and water.
2. The complete removal of grout
and construction dirt after products
have been installed will improve
daily maintenance.
3. Clean by scrubbing the installa-
tion with hot water and a pH neutral
liquid cleaner (soapless), followed by
a thorough rinsing, then remove the
rinse water with a wet vacuum or
dry toweling.
4. If some residue remains, further
cleaning will need to be done –
follow grout manufacturer recom-
mendations.
5. For more aggressive cleaning,
floor scrubbing machines equipped
with nylon pads or brushes should
be used. Wet vacuuming of the
suspended dirt and grout is recom-
mended.
6. Be sure that cleaning products
do not containing muriatic acid,
hydrofluoric acid or similar since
these substances can damage/alter
the surface of the tiles or change the
appearance of the tiles.
