Disclaimer: This is a natural stone product. No two pieces are exactly alike. This variation is what gives natural stone products their distinctive appearance.
All tiles should be inspected before installation, as no adjustment will be made after installation.
Installation: - Set the mosaic on a substrate that is rated to hold natural stone. This will include cement backer boards, concrete masonry units, brick/masonry, exterior grade plywood, traditional mud beds, etc. Consult a professional builder for rating requirements before starting the project.
- Using a notched trowel or one suggested for the setting materials used, trowel out enough mortar or adhesive to cover the area to set the first few sections. When troweling the mortar out be sure that it is spread evenly.
- Carefully place the first two to four sections (MESH SIDE DOWN) into place. Using a level surface and a rubber mallet, tap the sections into the setting material, avoiding the outside edges adjacent to the next sections. Then press the next sections into the setting material, making sure to match the width of the established grout lines.
- Choose a grout color appropriate for the installation. Mix grout according to manufacturer's directions. Grout openings between tiles and sheets. Clean the joints with a damp sponge taking care not to remove too much grout. A powder residue will appear. Buff this with a soft dry cloth. If grout dust still remains on the tiles, use water and rinse repeatedly until dust is gone. After grouting, protect area from foot traffic and water exposure for at least 72 hours.
- Seal after the grout has been completely cured.
