DO NOT bend tiles backward as it could
damage the tiles or permanently stretch and
misshape the tile matting.
Lightly place the tile onto the wall using your
reference lines. DO NOT apply pressure to
the tile until you are sure of your placement.
DO NOT bend the tile backward
The aggressive nature of the adhesive does not allow for repositioning after pressing
rmly. If it is in the right position, rmly apply even pressure across the entire tile.
When applying subsequent tiles, rst “dry t” the tiles with the adhesive liner in
place to ensure proper t. Dry t tile against the wall exactly where it will be placed.
Install the next 3 to 4 subsequent tiles by light tacking or pressing them on the wall.
At this time verify that the tiles are lining up straight and square. If they are you can
rmly press on the tiles to secure them to the wall. If some of the tiles have come out
of alignment you can work backward and remove the tiles using a putty knife. Then
reapply the tiles making small adjustment to each tile to regain alignment. Place each
section as if placing a puzzle piece.
Caution: do not skip ahead in tile section placement as alignment issues may
occur; complete all tiles in a progressive manner.
At the beginning and end of each row, cuts to one mat will be required to tie into the
whole mats that are already installed. See cutting directions below.
