Installation of
FLOOR & LARGE
FORMAT TILE
• Tile may be
installed over most
structurally sound
substrates.
• Make sure surface
is clean, smooth,
dry and free of
wax, soap scum
and grease.
• Any damaged,
loose or uneven
areas must be
repaired, patched
and leveled.
• Remove any
moldings, trim,
appliances or
anything that
could interfere with
installation.
• Doorjambs may be
undercut for tile to
slip under.
• Mark the center point of
all four walls.
• Snap chalk lines
between the center
points of opposite walls.
(Adjust if necessary.)
• Using tile spacers, lay out
a row of loose tiles along
the center lines in both
directions. Leave space for
uniform joints.
TIP: If cuts leave tiles
smaller than half of their
original size, adjust the
center line by snapping a
new line a half tile closer to
the wall. Repeat along other
center line if necessary.
• Divide the room into smaller
grids (approx. 2 ft. x 3 ft.) by
snapping additional lines
parallel to center lines.

• Carefully measure
tiles and mark
with a pencil or
felt-tip pen.
• Make straight or
diagonal cuts with
a tile cutter, curved
cuts with a nipper
(chipping away
small pieces for
best results), and
full-length curved
cuts with a rod saw.
Smooth out sharp-
cut edges with a
carborundum stone.
STEP 4: CUTTING TILESTEP 3: APPLYING ADHESIVE
3 4
• Mix only enough adhesive or mortar
to be used within 30 minutes.
• Using the type of trowel
recommended on the adhesive
package, spread a 1/4 in. coat on the
surface of one grid area, using the
flat side of the trowel.
NOTE: Do not cover guidelines or
a larger area than can be set in 15
minutes.
• Use the notched side of trowel to
comb adhesive into standing ridges
by holding trowel at a 45° angle.
• Remove excess adhesive, leaving a
uniform, ridged setting bed.
• For large format tiles, butter the
backside of the tile to ensure proper
full-coverage. Use a medium bed
mortar for tiles with a dimensional
length greater than 15 inches on any
one side.
NOTE: 90% mortar contact is
recommended.

• Using the instructions on the
package, make enough grout to
use in about 30 minutes.
• Remove tile spacers and spread grout on
the tile surface, forcing down into joints
with a rubber grout float or squeegee.
•
Tilt the float at a 45° angle and remove
excess grout from surface immediately
with the edge of float.
• Tilt it at a 90° angle and scrape it
diagonally across tiles.
• Wait 15–20 minutes for grout to set
slightly, then use a damp sponge to clean
grout residue from surface and smooth
the grout joints, rinsing sponge often.
• Let dry until grout is hard and haze forms
on tile surface, then polish with a soft
cloth and wait 72 hours for heavy use.
NOTE: Don’t apply sealers or polishes for
three weeks, and then only in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendations.
STEP 6: GROUTING JOINTSSTEP 5: SETTING TILE
5 6
• Install tiles in the center, one grid
at a time. Finish each grid before
moving to the next. Start with the
first tile in the corner of the grid
and work outward. Set tiles one at a
time using a slight twisting motion.
NOTE: Don’t slide tiles into place.
• Insert tile spacers, as each tile is set,
or leave equal joints between tiles.
• Fit perimeter tiles in each
grid last, leaving 1/4 in. gap
between tile and wall.
• When finished, tap in all tiles with a
rubber mallet or hammer and wood
block, to ensure a good bond and
level plane.
• Remove excess adhesive from joints
with a putty knife, and from tile with
a damp sponge.
• Do not walk on tiles until they are
set (usually in 24 hours).

Back-butter spreading of a bond coat
to the back of a ceramic tile
before placing the tile to
ensure a strong bond with
the thin-set mortar.
Balanced cuts perimeter tile cut at equal
size and installed on
opposite sides of an area;
also, equally sized cuts on
each side of a miter.
Butt joint
a plain square joint
between two members
with no grout joint.
Grout
a mix used for filling tile
joints, commonly based
of cement.
Mortar a mixture of cement paste
and fine aggregate used to
bond masonry together.
Plumb perpendicular to true level.
Substrate the underlying support for
a ceramic tile installation
GLOSSARY OF TERMS

STEP 7: INITIAL CLEANING
7
• The complete removal of grout and
construction dirt after products
have been installed will improve
daily maintenance.
• Clean successfully by scrubbing the
installation with hot water and a
pH neutral liquid cleaner (soapless),
followed by a thorough rinsing, then
remove the rinse water with a wet
vacuum or dry toweling.
• If some residue remains, further
cleaning will need to be done
in consultation with the grout
manufacturer.
• For more aggressive cleaning, floor
scrubbing machines equipped
with nylon pads or brushes should
be used. Wet vacuuming of the
suspended dirt and grout is
recommended.

ATTENTION / ATENCIÓN / ATTENTION
Do not dry cut using motorized equipment due to the
potential for exposure to harmful silica dust. Use a wet saw
or a score and snap tool when cutting is necessary during
the installation process.
No corte en seco usando equipo motorizado debido a la
posibilidad de
exposición a polvo dañino de sílice. En caso de que sea
necesario cortar durante el proceso de instalación, usar una
sierra de corte en húmedo o una herramienta cortadora
manual.
Ne pas couper à sec à l’aide d’un équipement motorisé en
raison du risque d’exposition à la poussière de silice nuis-
ible. Utiliser une scie à eau ou un outil à inciser et rompre
lorsqu’il faut couper pendant le processus d’installation.
