Installation & Handling Guidelines
⚠️ IMPORTANT: MIXED-MATERIAL MOSAIC SETTING & SEALING PROTOCOL
-
Mortar Selection for Glass & Stone: Always install mixed-material glass and stone mosaics using a high-performance, polymer-modified pure white thin-set mortar formulated specifically for glass and natural stone (ANSI A118.4 / ANSI A118.11 / ANSI A118.15). Using gray mortar will shadow through translucent glass chips and darken white stone pieces.
-
Pre-Sealing Before Grouting: Natural marble chips in the mosaic are porous. Apply a high-quality penetrating natural stone sealer to the tile face prior to grouting to prevent grout haze and pigment staining on the marble.
-
Non-Abrasive Grout Selection: Use a non-sanded grout or high-performance flexible grout designed for delicate glass and polished metal to prevent scratching glass surfaces or metallic foil accents during cleanup.
-
Wet Saw Cutting Protocol: When cutting individual chevron sheets, use a continuous-rim diamond wet tile saw designed for glass and stone to avoid chipping glass edges or fraying metal trim pieces.
Care & Maintenance
-
Routine Cleaning: Wipe clean regularly using warm water and a neutral pH household cleaner or mild dish soap with a soft microfiber cloth or sponge.
-
Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers: Never use harsh chemicals, acidic cleansers, bleach, scouring pads, or steel wool, which can scratch glass surfaces or dull metal accents.
-
Periodic Resealing: Reapply a penetrating stone sealer to marble components every 1 to 2 years to maintain water repellency and stain resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does MSI Harlow Chevron Mosaic Tile require sealing?
Yes. Because the mosaic contains genuine natural marble chips alongside glass and metal, the stone components must be sealed with a penetrating sealer prior to grouting and maintained periodically.
Can Harlow Chevron tile be installed on shower floors?
No. Mixed-material tiles containing glass and metal components are engineered exclusively for vertical wall installations and are not recommended for floor applications.
What color grout works best with Harlow Chevron tile?
A bright white, crisp light gray, or translucent glass grout highlights the clean chevron geometry without overpowering the subtle gray and silver accents.
