How to Install Glass Mosaic Tile (Mesh-Mounted)

1) Mix setting materials according to manufacturers' instructions.

2) Apply setting materials to the substrate using the notched side of a 3/16" x 5/32" x 3/16" V-notched trowel (image 1).

3) Using the flat side of the trowel, smooth out all ridges to achieve a consistent, even 1/8" thick coverage.

4) Apply glass mosaics sheets, mesh-side down, firmly into the freshly troweled setting material (image 2).

5) Using a rubber float or equivalent tool, gently press the tile into the adhesive to ensure complete contact. Do not push the sheets too deeply into the setting materials, as to cause the setting materials to ooze up between the tiles' spaces. We recommend leaving at least 2/3 of the tile depth available for grouting (image 3).

6) Adjust tile sheets for correct alignment and even spacing between sheets. Do not allow setting material to dry or skin over before completing this process (image 4).

7) Clean all excess setting materials with a damp sponge. Wipe away any haze that may have remained behind.

8) After 24 hours, mix grout, following manufacturer's instructions.

9) Grout openings between tiles and sheets (image 5).

10) Clean all excess grout immediately with a damp sponge (image 6).

11) Use a dry cloth or towel to polish off any remaining haze.

12) After grouting, protect the area from light foot traffic and light water exposure for at least 72 hours. Protect the area from heavy traffic and regular use for at least seven days.
