Installation Guide
• Tile may be installed over most structurally sound
substrates.
• Make sure surface is clean, smooth, dry and free
of wax, soap scum and grease.
• Any damaged, loose or uneven areas must be
repaired, patched and leveled.
• Remove any moldings, trim, appliances or
anything that could interfere with installation.
• Doorjambs may be undercut for tile to slip under.

• Mark the center point of all four walls.
• Snap chalk lines between the center points of
opposite walls. (Adjust if necessary.)
• Using tile spacers, lay out a row of loose tiles along
the center lines in both directions. Leave space for
uniform joints.
TIP: If cuts leave tiles smaller
than half of their original size, adjust the center line
by snapping a new line a half tile closer to the wall.
Repeat along other center line if necessary.
• Divide the room into smaller
grids (approx. 2 ft. x 3 ft.) by snapping additional lines
parallel to center lines.
