Tile Installaon Guide

READ this entire installation guide before beginning your

installation. ACP is not responsible and will not be held liable

for project failures if installation guidelines are not followed. ACP

recommends that you install these tiles over an existing substrate

to ensure proper structural integrity. Palisade tiles are not intend-

ed to be attached to raw concrete, poured concrete walls or

concrete block basement walls.

FOR INSTALLATION IN DRY ENVIRONMENTS

Appropriate substrates in a dry environment would include

framed walls with existing tile, drywall, cement board, OSB,

or plywood. Palisade tiles must be attached to structures that

comply with your local building codes and have incorporated

appropriate moisture abatement measures.

FOR SHOWER, TUB OR DIRECT WATER

ENVIRONMENTS

Although Palisade tiles are 100% waterproof when used with

sealant in the seams, we recommend you follow your local

building codes for wet environments like shower and tub

enclosures. In a tub or shower area, existing ceramic tile walls

can be covered with no additional preparation. Otherwise,

installation over a waterproof substrate is required, such as

Cement Board

, Schluter Kerdi Board

, GP Densheild

, Johns

Manville Go Board

, Hardiebacker

, WPBK Triton

, Fiberock

and

equivalent products. Always follow manufacturer’s installation

instructions to create a waterproof enclosure.

FOR BACKSPLASH, LAUNDRY ROOM OR OTHER

DAMP ENVIRONMENTS

We recommend using a silicone sealer in the tile’s tongue and

groove seams for damp environments. Follow manufacturer’s

directions and your local building codes.

Determine Tile Layout Determine Installation Type We recommend you perform a “dry layout” prior to applying any adhesive. Our recommended layout for the typical 60" wide by 30" tub surround is to center panels in the first or second row on each wall of the surround. Most tubs feature a lip or flange around the top perimeter to help prevent water leakage behind the tub. Each flange design is different and tile placement will vary to accommodate the design.

Repeat this process on perpendicular tile also facing corner (image 3, 4). If corner trims are used, sealant should still be applied in trim channel (image 5). Palisade Tile Wall Wall J-Trim Cross-section View 3 4 5 Palisade Tile L-Trims are used to cover existing exposed tiles to provide a finished look. Install by dispensing a thin bead of sealant on the Palisade side and a thin bead of adhesive on the substrate side. Press trim into place.

Apply adhesive to the back of the panel. Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s directions. Apply a ¼" bead in a typical “M” or “W” pattern, and a bead around the tile perimeter about ½" in. The 10 oz. adhesive tube covers approximately 5 panels (image 15). 14 15 Apply the panel to the substrate by pressing it into place. Apply even pressure with your hands across the entire panel. If necessary, use painter’s tape, shims or pins to hold panels in place until adhesive sets. Wipe off excessive adhesive.
