Installation Guide

precautions

Cement tiles are very absorbent. Tiles can be easily stained

until they are appropriately sealed. Avoid walking on the raw

tiles or handling with dirty hands.

Tiles must be clean and dry before each coat of sealant.

Moisture in the tile can be trapped by the sealant, and cause

discoloration later.

Always test products on a single tile before applying to the

entire floor.

Do not make any unnecessary pencil marks on cement tiles as

they may be impossible to remove later.

Cement tiles, as with all building materials, are subject to

contraction and expansion depending on climate. If you are

covering a large area install it as a “floating floor” using an

uncoupling membrane or a similar product and use expansion

joints to prevent cracks in your tile. Ensure that the products

you are using provide adequate support for the tile.

Cement tile must be stored indoors until time of installation.

Storing outdoors or in a covered shed may result in stained or

discolored tiles.

All tile must be examined by buyer before installation. Villa

Lagoon Tile shall not be responsible or liable for any complaint

or claim after the installation.

All cement tiles are very porous and MUST be sealed. Cement

tile will not show its final brilliant colors until it is sealed.

IMPORTANT Cement tiles show nuances in design and colors.

Individual tiles will not be identical. This is a result of the

handcrafted process and the nature of cement. Mixing tiles from

different boxes during setting is necessary to produce a

beautiful naturally rich appearance. Expect tonal variations of

color in any batch of tile. This is the nature of hand-crafted

cement products. Variations in color tone are not valid for claims

or refunds.
