PRODUCT PLACEMENT
● PREPARATION
○ Ensure substrate surfaces are clean, dry, smooth and free from dust, grease, or wax.
○ Use isopropyl-alcohol two-cloth cleaning method as a minimal surface preparation for all
adhesive or tape bonding.
○ Prime substrate if needed with one coat of a high-quality 100% acrylic-based, (not PVA-based)
primer.
○ Clean existing ceramic or hard surface tile substrate well; generally primer may not be required.
○ Measurement and Lay-out:
■ Measure first area to be covered; lay-out first tile. Using a temporary marker, transfer
measurements to first tile.
● PREPARATION (continued)
■ Plan for bends, corners or edge treatments before cutting.
■ To fit around pipes and other irregularities or interruptions, transfer cutting lines to the
tile using a cardboard pattern as a guide.
● CUTTING
○ Cut using a hacksaw, chop saw, circular saw or table saw for straight cuts; a jigsaw for circular
cuts or cutouts.
○ Use cutting blades with carbide-tipped or high-speed hardened steel, made for cutting non-ferrous
metal.
○ (For Tile only) Alternatively, use a utility knife for straight cuts as follows:
■ Measure and mark cut lines with a marker on protective film.
■ Using a straight edge, score along entire tile using a utility knife.
○ Use a fine-grit sandpaper or small metal file to debur edges of newly cut tiles.
● APPLICATION
○ Apply tiles from inside corner, working outwards and upwards.
○ If designing layout of tiles to be centered at a focal point, such as behind a sink or stove area,
build out from both sides of the focal point, symmetrically.
