Installation Guide 1.2

Jagged edge Mosaïks

Guideline

Using a level or chalk line, trace a guideline to ensure perfect alignment using a Mosaïk to mark the height. If you are

facing an uneven counter, mark the height of your guideline on the lowest side of the counter.

Measuring & Cutting

Using a simple utility knife (box cutter) and a metal ruler, you will be able to trim and shape your Mosaïk at will should

you come across electrical outlets or other irregularities during the installation. Measure and mark your Mosaïk and

then lay it on a cutting mat or cutting board to cut o the unwanted portion.

Remove the tabs of the ﬁrst Mosaïk

For all jagged edge models, you must cut o the overlaping tabs of the rst Mosaïk in order to get a straight edge to

begin the installation. This will allow you to start in a corner, against a cabinet or to get straight edge ending. * The

Hexago Mosaïk will require the same operation to be performed at the bottom for Mosaïks touching the counter.

Peel

Simply fold back half of the protective paper in the back without touching the adhesive portion with your ngers. We

strongly recommend you wash your hands before you start the installation to ensure no dust particles or greasy

residue are transferred on to the adhesive.

Align & Stick

Now align the adhesive portion with your guideline and apply a light pressure. This will allow you to validate the

positioning of your Mosaïk. Once you are satised with its placement and alignment, you may remove the rest of the

protective paper and apply a rm pressure across the entire surface.

To install behind a gas ranges without a back control panel or metal plate, you must preserve a

safety zone (without Smart Tiles) of 8 ‘’ (20 cm) on the back wall to prevent direct exposure to open

ame (see illustrations A & B). A protective stainless steel panel can be used to safely ll that area.

For small appliances such as toasters, counter ovens and others, leave a gap of 2 inches (6 cm)

between the Mosaïk and the appliance.

Overlapping

Once you’ve successfully installed the rst Mosaïk, you may continue the process making sure you overlap all the grout

lines as you go. This will result in a continuous and even layout of the entire project.

Cleaning

First, wash the surface with a powerful grease-remover such as TSP (Tri-Sodium Phosphate). Make sure you allow

enough time for the surface to dry properly.
