6-Step Guide to Installing Mosaic Tiles

1. Prepare the Surface

   • Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and level.

   • Repair any cracks or imperfections.

2. Gather Your Tools and Materials

   • Mosaic tiles

   • Tile adhesive

   • Notched trowel

   • Tile cutter

   • Sponge and bucket

   • Grout

   • Sealer (optional)

3. Plan Your Layout

   • Dry fit the tiles to determine the best arrangement.

   • Mark reference lines for alignment.

4. Apply Tile Adhesive

   • Use the notched trowel to spread adhesive on the surface.

   • Work in small sections to prevent the adhesive from drying out.

5. Place the Mosaic Tiles

   • Press the tiles into the adhesive, following your layout.

   • Use spacers to maintain even gaps between tiles.

6. Grout the Tiles

   • Once the adhesive has set, remove spacers and apply grout.

   • Wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge.

   • Allow the grout to cure as per the manufacturer's instructions.

7.  Cleaning.

The cleaning process will need to be repeated multiple times. Begin by using a special scouring pad on the epoxy joints. Next, clean again with a special sponge designed for epoxy joints. Continue this process until the mosaic is thoroughly clean. Once clean, let the grout dry.

Approximately 24 hours after installing the mosaic, use a post-construction cleaning product to achieve a flawless finish.
