Installation Guide
• Mix only enough adhesive or mortar to be used within
30 minutes.
• Using the type of trowel recommended on the
adhesive package, spread a 1/4 in. coat on the surface
of one grid area, using the flat side of the trowel.
NOTE: Do not cover guidelines or a larger area than
can be set in 15 minutes.
• Use the notched side of trowel to comb adhesive into
standing ridges by holding trowel at a 45° angle.
• Remove excess adhesive, leaving a uniform, ridged
setting bed.
• For large format tiles, butter the backside of the tile
to ensure proper full-coverage. Use a medium bed
mortar for tiles with a dimensional length greater than
15 inches on any one side.
NOTE: 90% mortar contact is recommended.

• Carefully measure tiles and mark
with a pencil or felt-tip pen.
• Make straight or diagonal cuts with a tile cutter, curved
cuts with a nipper (chipping away small pieces for best
results), and full-length curved cuts with a rod saw.
Smooth out sharp-cut edges with a carborundum
stone.
