STEP 2.1: COUNTERTOP LAYOUT
2.1
• Begin by installing your counter trim.
Next, set a line of full tiles from that
rst row, working back so that all cut
tiles will be placed along the back row
against the wall .
NOTE: T rim pieces are available for use
around recessed appliances .
• Snap parallel chalk lines on the
substrate as needed to keep rows
straight.
NOTE: Tile countertops should have a
tile backsplash at least 4 in. high for
protection.
TIP: For backsplashes, align joints with
the countertop tile.
STEP 2: WALL LAYOUT
2
NOTE: Please skip to step 2.1 if you
are installing on a countertop.
• Start by measuring the square
footage of the wall you are planning
to tile, making sure to take into
account any switches and outlets.
• Find the center point of the wall, using
a level to draw a plumb line in the
wall’s center.
• Lay out a row of loose tiles across the
bottom of the wall from the center line,
leaving uniform joints between tiles.
• Once you have this initial row of loose
tiles laid out, measure to determine
what cuts need to be made so that all
tiles t into the working area.
NOTE: Tiles can be butted together
leaving a consistent 1/16 in. joint
automatically.
