POLISHED MARBLE MOSAIC WALL TILE FIXING INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.    Prepare

Ensure that the surface is sound, dry, flat and free from dirt grease or flaking.  Seal new plaster with a suitable primer.

 

2.    Plan

Arrange tiles in the desired layout before fixing.  Mix the contents of two or three packs of mosaics to achieve an acceptable blend of colour and shade.  For external edges, an edging strip is available.

 

3.    Fixing

Spread adhesive onto the wall or existing tiles using a notched spreader. Place the first mosaic on a straight line. A spirit level will help.
Ensure gap between tiles is same as gap between the individual mosaics and the first tile is perfectly square before proceeding. Press down well so they can be grouted over.
Remove excess adhesive. Clean and dry thoroughly before applying sealer. Use scissors to cut the web backing.

 

4.    Sealing

Thoroughly clean and dry the mosaics and then apply impregnator/sealer before grouting.  Following the sealer manufacturer's instructions.

 

5.    Cutting

Mosaics can be cut to size using a wet or dry tile cutter but should not be necessary.

 

6.    Grouting

Allow 12 hours for the tile adhesive to set before grouting.  Use the grout float to grout well into the tile joints and remove any excess immediately with a damp sponge.  Allow to dry before applying a second coat of sealer.  Always follow the grout manufacturer's instructions. Use a grout finisher to obtain a professional result.  Use a suitable spreader to apply the grout. Clean the surface with a damp sponge as you go. Polish off powdery residue with dry cloth.
