Installation Tips
1. Apply a premium grade white thin-set mortar using 3/16 inch V-notch trowel.
2. Set tiles. apply pressure or tap the surfaces with a rubber grout float to ensure all tiles are bounded and aligned properly. Use a level periodically to check the grouts joints.
3. After 24 hours, mix and apply grout (read important information below).
Tiles with metal or glass- USE UNSANDED GROUT.
It is very important to understand any abrasive materials or chemical can scratch the surface of the tile.
Natural stone and ceramic- USE SANDED GROUT.
4. Clean all excess grout immediately with a damp sponge. After 12 hours polish any remaining grout with a clean dry cloth.
Cutting
A wet saw is recommended to cut mosaics tiles. A premium glass diamond blade is recommended for glass cutting. Other mosaics such as ceramic, natural stone and metal use a standard diamond blade.
Sealing
Mosaics containing natural stone should be sealed prior to grouting. Use a premium penetrating sealer for a natural look. To darken and highlight the natural stone, use a stone enhancing sealer. Never allow sealers to dry on glass, glazed ceramic or metal.
Care and Cleaning
Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water or any non-abrasive mild detergent.
