Instructions / Assembly

Grout joints should be packed full and free of all voids and pits. Excess grout should be cleaned
from the surface as the work progresses, while grout is fresh and before it hardens. Prior to
grouting, test in a small area to make sure that the right color grout is chosen and that the surface
does not scratch during grouting.
Grouting may be done after tile is firmly set – approximately 24 hours after installation. Clean
the surface with a clean, damp sponge. Allow grout to set firm or until haze forms on the tile and
the grout in the joints sets firm. Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to polish off haze and remaining
grout residue. Final cleaning of grout haze and tile polishing should be done with clean, dry
cheesecloth within 24 hours of grouting.
Care and Maintenance
Glass mosaic is durable and stain resistant, but care should be taken to prolong the beauty of the
mosaic. To maximize the life of your mosaic and retain its artistic integrity, please consider the
following:
• Use only a mild, pH-neutral detergent cleaner and damp sponge or rag to clean your
mosaic.
• Do not use acid, alkaline, and solvent-based cleaners. They can damage and/or discolor
the tiles and the grout.
• Do not wax any part of your mosaic.
• Do not let stains sit on your mosaic’s surface for extended periods. Clean promptly.
Always test cleaner in a small inconspicuous area prior to use throughout the installation to
determine suitability and use of care and maintenance products.
