where full sheets can be set.
2) You may elect to start from the right,
left or center and work outwards with
installation.
3) All cuts should be installed near or
in the least visible area.

Grout Selection: Unsanded grout is recom-
mended for any installation with a grout joint less
than 1/8”, wall installations, and products with
glass or metal finishes.
Grout Preparation & Application: Please
consult grout preparation and application
instructions provided by the grout manufacturer
before using grout.
Grout Clean-up: With a dry lint-free cloth,
remove excess grout from tile surface. Then with
a clean sponge dampened with warm water,
continue to clean the tile surface of grout. Once
the tile surface appears clean, wipe down again
with a fresh damp sponge to remove any grout
film. After 15 minutes, buff the tile surface with a
soft cloth.
Tile and Grout Sealing: Allow the installation to
dry for 2 days. Inspect tile surface for remaining
grout film and residue. A grout haze remover may
be used for removing any stubborn residue.
Please consult grout haze remover instructions
provided by the manufacturer before using grout
haze remover. Test a precautionary section of the
tile surface before using grout haze remover.
Allow the clean tile surface to dry before applying
grout sealant. Please consult grout sealant
instructions provided by the manufacturer before
using grout sealants.
Stainless Steel and Aluminum Mosaics: Use
quartz-free, flexible, plasticized joint sealers for
non-absorbent materials for jointing to avoid
scratches on the surface. Cut the material with a
wet cutting device at the rear of the piece in order
to prevent uneven edges. Cut edges can be
treated and smoothed using fine sand paper or a
metal file.
