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.
Find the center point of the wall,
using a level to draw a plumb line
in the wall’s center.
Lay out a row of loose tiles across
the bottom of the wall from the
center line leaving uniform joints
between tiles.
NOTE: Tiles can be butted together
leaving a consistent 1/16 in. joint
automatically.
TIP: If cuts leave tiles smaller than
half to their original size, adjust
the center line a half tile closer to
the wall.
Stack two tiles here. At the top,
draw a horizontal line on the wall
and continue the line around all side
walls to be tiled.

It is recommended to use
a drill bit that is specially
designed for glass, metal
and stone.
NOTE: The tile must be
securely clamped into place to
prevent movement of the tile
during the drilling process.
When drilling the hole, keep
the bit and hole lubricated
to prevent chipping.
Drill from both sides of the
tile, starting with the back
and drilling half of the depth
of the tile.
Turn the tile over and
complete the hole. This will
prevent the glass, metal and
stone from chipping as the
drill bit exits the tile.
It is recommended
to use a diamond
blade, as blades
designed for
ceramic tile will
chip the stone
and/or glass.
NOTE: Cut edges
should be placed in
corners where they
can be hidden.

Penetrating/impregnating
stone sealers are a no-
sheen, natural-look sealer
that can be water-based or
solvent-based.
A premium, natural-look,
penetrating/impregnating
sealer is the normal choice
for natural stone when a
natural color of the stone
is desired. A stone-
enhancer sealer is often
used when a darker,
enriched, or highlighted
character is desired.
Make sure the brand
you have chosen is
formulated to provide
maximum stain protection
for stone products.
Stone products should
be tested periodically to
ensure that the sealer is
working eectively.

Suitable for use in wet, but not fully submersed
areas, such as shower walls.
It is recommended to use a white thin-set mortar
with a flexible acrylic additive or a white polymer
fortified thin-set mortar.
Apply this mixture with the manufacturer’s
recommendations of a notch trowel (typically 3/16 in.
x 3/16 in. V-notch).
Knock down the trowel ridges with the flat edge of the
trowel to produce and evenly layer the thin-set mortar.
Spread only enough thin-set to install a few sheets
at a time. Fully butter the back of each sheet with
the flat edge of the trowel in order to avoid the notch
marks in the thin-set from showing through the glass.
Carefully press into the thin-set, leaving even spaces
in between tiles. A grout float can be used to tap
the tiles into place. Allow for movement joints where
the tiles abut restraining surfaces and around the
perimeter of the installation.
NOTE: We recommend allowing a
1/8 in. joint between tiles.
If stone, seal prior to grouting.

It is recommended
to use a non-
abrasive cleaner to
prevent scratching
of the tile.
NOTE: Tiles
that have been
scratched prior
to or during
installation are
the customers
responsibility.
STEP 8: CLEANING

had proper
time to cure.

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 nuisible. Utiliser une scie à eau ou un outil à
inciser et rompre lorsquil faut couper pendant le processus d’installation.
