Simplified Installation Instructions

Plan – There are many tile patterns, from basketweave to herringbone to stack bond. Choose the design that best fits your style and décor.

Lay out & measure - Measure the area to be covered. Lay out the entire project on a flat surface, like a table or the floor before installing the tiles to be sure you have enough tiles and your design is correct. Using a chalk line, create at least one vertical and one horizontal reference lines to guide tile placement.

Install Tiles – With proper preparation you can just peel and stick the tiles in place (For more information see Installation method 1 on the General Installation page.) Otherwise with minimal preparation you can add a small amount of adhesive to the tile back and install it. The recommended adhesive is Loctite® PL Premium® or LePage® PL Premium®. Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s directions for the adhesive. (For more information on this installation method see Method 2 on the General Installation page). If method 1 fails, use method 2.

For additional information on substrate preparation in a water-prone area, see the Aspect FAQ’s.
