FAQs
Can I use these tiles in a shower area?
Yes, they are suitable for bathroom walls; however, ensure you use a waterproof tile adhesive and properly seal the tiles to protect against moisture.
Do I need to seal the tiles before installation?
While some installers prefer a pre-seal, it is generally recommended to seal them immediately after installation once the grout has fully cured.
What type of grout should I use?
It is recommended to use a non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the surface of the mosaic textures.
Can these be cut to size?
Yes, you can easily cut the mesh backing with a utility knife to fit the tiles around outlets or specific wall dimensions.
Are these tiles suitable for flooring?
No, these are designed specifically as wall tiles and are not rated for the foot traffic associated with flooring.
How should I clean the tiles daily?
Use a soft cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap; avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Tiles are pulling away from the mesh
Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly; if a piece detaches, press it firmly back into the mortar bed while the adhesive is still wet.
Grout is getting stuck in the tile crevices
Wipe away excess grout immediately using a damp sponge, and consider using a grout release agent on the tile surface before grouting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed on a clean, dry, and flat substrate. Use a high-quality tile adhesive appropriate for mosaic sheets, applying it with a notched trowel to ensure full contact with the mesh backing. Once the adhesive has cured, grout the tiles using a non-sanded grout to prevent scratching the surface finish. The most critical step is the application of a penetrating sealer. Before grouting, test a small area to ensure the sealer does not alter the appearance of the tile. Regular care involves wiping the tiles down with a soft, damp cloth and avoiding harsh acidic cleaners that can degrade the sealer or the tile surface.
