Care and Maintenance
To clean, use an ordinary household
cleaner. For best results, we recommend a
liquid, non-abrasive cleaner.
Liquid abrasive household cleaners should
be used only after being tested in a small
inconspicuous area to ensure that no
damage will result.
Do NOT clean with scouring pads, steel
wool, or other abrasive implements or
damage to the tile surface may result.
Cleaners containing ammonia, bleach or
other harsh chemicals should be wiped up
shortly after application or damage to the
tile surface may result.
H
IGH-TEMPERATURE INSTALLATION
High-temperature installations are those where
tiled surfaces will be subject to temperatures
130°F (55°C) or greater. Common applications
include: Certain kitchen cook tops, fireplace
surrounds and steam rooms. Follow the high
temperature installation instructions to ensure
proper adhesion.
Important Note: Tiles are not recommended in
areas where the tiled surface temperature will
exceed 212°F (100°C). For example, do not
install tiles as a heat shield behind a wood (or
gas) stove.
Behind Cook-Tops without a Back-Guard (or
back mount control panel)
To ensure proper bond, maintain a minimum
distance of 4.5” inches between tiled surfaces
and heat source. For the wall area directly
behind and within 18 inches above the cooking
surface, follow the high-temperature
installation instructions.
Fireplace Surrounds
To ensure proper bond, maintain a minimum
clearance of 6" from the fireplace opening.
When used above and projecting more than
1½” from a fireplace face, maintain a minimum
clearance of 12” above the fireplace opening.
Consult state and local building codes to
determine if more clearance is required in your
area. Follow the high-temperature installation
instructions.
Steam Rooms
To ensure proper bond, follow the high-
temperature installation instructions.
