mosaic anD Platinum series anD Dimensions mesh mount tile Glassmosaics Glass Tiles can be installed over all conventional tilesetting substrates to be used on walls, counter tops, back-splashes, tub and shower surrounds, etc. Because glass tiles are nonporous, they do not absorb moisture as will ceramic or clay tiles. Therefore, we recommend the use of high grade latex modified thin-set as a setting material. For more information on mastics, mortars and thinsets for glass tile applications contact your local thinset/mortar supplier. To prevent darkening of the translucent tile color, we also recommend a white thinset. Use a 3/16 inch V-notched trowel; roughly distribute the setting material as needed onto the substrate. Use only enough setting material that can be covered in 10 minutes. Smooth using the flat side of the trowel, to form a consistent setting bed of approximately 1/8” thick. Bed the tiles, PAPER-SIDE OUT OR mesh-side down where applicable. Tap into place using a Beater Block found at most hardware or tile supply stores. Apply subsequent tile sheets so that the grout joints line up, providing for a consistent field. Wait 15-20 minutes (time may vary depending upon environmental conditions) for the setting material to slightly bond. To remove the paper facing, wet the paper with a sponge and warm water. After a minute or so, slowly pull off paper at a downward angle. Should tiles inadvertently be removed during this process, simply stick them back in place with a dab of setting material. After the setting material has completely bonded, wash and prepare the glass for grouting. To clean, use a simple nylon-bristle brush and a sponge with warm water and remove any residue or paper backing from glass. Dimensions larGe Format tile White high grade latex modified thinset is recommended to prevent darkening of tile color. For more information on mastics, mortars and thin sets for glass tile applications contact your local supplier. Using a “x” square-notched trowel, roughly distribute the setting materials onto the substrate. Use only enough setting material to be covered in 10 minutes. Smooth using the flat side of the trowel, to a consistent setting bed of approximately 3/16” thick. Clean the back of each tile using a dry cloth. Back-butter each piece and press the glass into the setting bed. This technique will fill-in the texture and dry without trapping air. Remove excess setting material to provide a 1/8” grout line. Allow to cure at least 24 hours. To clean use a simple nylon-bristle brush and a sponge with warm water. GroutinG  For grout lines less than 1/8” we recommend the use of an unsanded grout. When grouting in conjunction with stone or marble or wherever grout lines are 1/8” or larger, we recommend sanded grout. For more information on mastics, mortars and thin sets for glass tile applications contact your local supplier. Prepare grout according to the manufacturer’s directions. Spread the grout over the surface using a float, pressing it deep into the joints. Grout joints will take longer to set up because glass tile is non-porous and does not absorb moisture. Let set for approximately 20 minutes; then clean off excess grout with a dry cloth or paper towel. Once the tile is clean, go back over with clean water and a damp sponge to remove any residue. Hand Cutting The easiest, fastest way to cut glass tile is with a simple glass scoring tool and running pliers. Score the glass lightly on the front along the desired
