🛠️ INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: WALL APPLICATION & MORTAR SELECTION
-
Interior Wall Application: This tile is rated for interior vertical wall surfaces. Do not install on floors, pool waterlines, or outdoor freeze-thaw locations.
-
Wall Thinset / Mastic: Set tiles using a high-quality polymer-modified thinset or organic mastic (such as MAPEI® Type 1 Mastic or Ultraflex LHT) over properly prepared drywall, cement board, or backer board.
Professional Installation Recommendations
-
Recommended Grout: Pair with a non-sanded grout in "Warm Gray" or "Alabaster" for a soft, cohesive look, or "Bright White" to highlight individual tile borders.
-
Grout Joint Width: A 1/16" to 1/8" grout joint is recommended to accommodate minor surface undulations and maintain straight grid lines.
-
Dry-Fit Layout: Arrange tiles prior to setting to balance subtle shade variations across the full wall area.
💡 PRO CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
1. Easy Wipe Down: Clean regularly with plain warm water or a non-abrasive household surface cleaner to keep the glossy glaze pristine.
2. No Sealing Required: The non-porous glazed ceramic face requires zero sealers or special wax treatments.
3. Protect Grout Lines: Seal cementitious grout lines after installation to prevent oil or water staining in high-use kitchen backsplash areas.
