Tile Installation Guide

SUBSTRATE

Tile must be installed over a suitable substrate to insure a proper installation. Tile should be installed over

a clean, sound, and flat surface, free of contaminates including curing compounds. Substrate should be

free of cracks. If used in a wet area you must waterproof. Tile must be sealed.

INSTALLATION

 To avoid affecting the color of the tile, White modified thin-set is recommended for all installations.

 Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes.

 Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16” and not butt set.

 The trowel size you can use is a 9" Trowel - 1/16" square notch.

GROUTING

 Use Non-Sanded grout

 Grout joints should be packed full and free of voids and pits.

 Clean excess grout as the work progresses before it has hardens completely.

 Acids should never be used for cleaning grout haze.

 Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints.

 It is recommended to use grout release, then grout the tile, then use a sealant to the tile such as

our MP90

 Highly recommended to purchase the Glass & Stone Installation/Maintenance Kit –

CUTTING

The recommended cutting method is to use a wet saw with a diamond blade that is specifically for cutting

glass. Edges can be sanded smooth after cutting.
