How to install ceramic tile murals

Ceramic Tile Murals can be installed professionally or you can do it.
After you receive the ceramic tile mural the choice is yours.

1. There is a guide on the back of each tile. Rows are marked, A,B,C
2. The placement of each tile is 1,2,3.
3. They are lined just like we read. Top going down as a page reads.

Materials needed to install
1. Ceramic tile adhesive
2. ceramic tile spacers, if wanted
3. sponge to keep the tiles clean
4. Grout, unsanded is better
5. Trowel, small one or larger depending on size of mural

A wooden slat to help stabilize the bottom row of tiles.

Make sure the clean the area so it’s free of grease .
Lay the tiles out in the order on the back. Check carefully
To make sure that they are in the order needed.

If there is not already a row of tiles, fasten the wooden slat or
Board to the wall, and check to make sure it is level. If this
Is crooked the mural will be also.

Spread a thin layer of adhesive to the wall. Add a thin layer to
The bottom left tile. Use the trowel to spread it about. Press
The bottom left tile into place. Make sure it is lined up and level.
Wipe any adhesive off the front with a damp sponge before it
Dries. Do the bottom row first in the numbered order. Since the
Tiles are fairly heavy, if it’s possible to let the bottom row set
Overnight do so. Make sure each one is lined up level. The bottom
Row sets the standard for the rest.

After finishing let the tile mural set for 24hours before adding the
Grout. Carefully with the thin trowel add grout between the tiles.
Wash any off the top of the tiles before it dries. Make sure because
Once it dries it will make the finish dull.

To clean the tiles: Use mild household cleaners. Do not use abrasive
Cleaning pads. On tumbled stone tiles be careful to clean the grout
Off the front. When it dries it will make the finish dull
