  • Hello! I have read the provided installation instructions for glass tiles and I'm ready to assist you. This document provides detailed instructions for both shower and backsplash installations, including recommendations for proper materials and techniques, such as the proper choice of mortar, consideration of expansion joints and the use of waterproofing membrane. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about installation process described in document.
  • Is waterproofing membrane required for all tile installations?
    What type of mortar is recommended for shower installations with glass tiles?
    Do I need to prime the drywall before installing tiles?
    How should I start installing tiles on a backsplash?

▪ Waterproong Membrane is Required for Shower Stalls
▪ Polymer Modied Glass Tile Mortar is Highly Recommended for
Shower Installaons – Ensure Glass Tile Mortar is Compable with
Waterproong Membrane.
▪ Uncoupling waterproof membranes require a specic mortar to set
the membrane in place.
▪ Expansion joints are important for showers with glass le. There
must be a clean, straight, open joint at all changes in plane which
include inside corners, oor to wall, wall to ceiling, and columns.
▪ 100% Silicone sealant rated for adherence to glass le is
recommended to ll expansion joints or changes in surface plane.
▪ Sealing the non-sanded le grout helps repel moisture and dirt for
easier cleaning and maintenance.
• Backsplashes generally have less requirements for a successful
installaon, compared to shower installaons.
• Plan your le layout and consider the cuts required to negoate outlets
and other xtures.
• Tiles can be installed on to painted dry wall; the glass le mortar can
penetrate the paint.
• Tiles can be installed onto unpainted drywall; it is recommended to use
a dry wall primer and allow 48 hours of cure me.
• Ensure the backsplash surface is uniform and free of dirt or residue
before beginning the installaon.
• Set the boom row of le rst, so the row below is supporng the row
of le above during the seng process – 2 spacers separang each le.
• Grout sealing is also recommended for backsplashes.
• Tile edges can be nished using a variety of Pencil Liners, Quarter
Round, and Schluter Trim of the same thickness.
