All
walls and surfaces must be smooth , even , dry , cured and free
from all dirt . It is recommended to shave the substrate to make
it white. If the substrate is thicker than 2 mm it is recommended
to use specific products. In order to ensure a successful installation
room temperature should be between +5 and +30 C. |

Using the flat edge of the trowel , spread appropriate setting
material evenly onto the wall in the area of one square( 4
or 9 sheets ) . With the notched edge of the trowel ( min
1/8" x 1/8" square edge of the trowel )
|
 |
Apply
mosaic sheets with the front mounted paper facing the installer
.Keep print on paper running in the same direction . Beat
tile with a rubber block or rubber trowel to ensure adequate
adhesion . Spacing
between sheets must be the same as between individual tesserae. |
 |
Tap
on mosaic tiles with a rubber trowel to ensure adhesion on
the surface. Metal trowels are not to be used. |
 |
With
a wet sponge begin to dampen mounting paper until it starts
coming off easily. |
 |
At
this point remove paper starting from a corner Pull paper
slowly diagonally and close to the wall, paying
attention not to take off tiles. Adjust tiles and joints with
a small spatula and remove glue residues before it dries.
|
 |
Spread
grout with rubber trowel in horizontal and vertical directions
covering not more than 2 sqm at a time. Remove any excess
grout using the rubber float working diagonally across the
tiles. Let the grout dry for about 10 - 20 minutes in the
joints. This time depends on the room temperature at the time,
but the appearance of the grout will become slightly opaque
. |
 |
Begin
cleaning with dampened sponge , Always work diagonally without
applying too much pressure and
keeping the sponge flat ensuring that the sponge remains
flatto the tiles and does not remove too much grout from
joints .If necessary, use an acidic cleaner, rinsing several
times with plenty of water. |

CUTTING
GLASS MOSAIC : While fixing tiles may be required
to cut ; which can be done as below:
>> Singularly, tile by tile, using mosaic nippers ;
>> As strips of tiles, cutting the backing paper or
mesh using a knife or scissors ;
>> By entire sheet, using – continuous rim 10
cm diamond blade. Mark out the lines for cutting first using
a pencil on the paper backing (or on the mosaics, if these
are mounted on mesh). Cut the mosaics with the diamond disc
in progressively deeper cuts - do not try to cut the tiles
in one stroke as they may break.
