Installation Tips
Lay out the mural dry first to confirm tile alignment and orientation. Use white thin set mortar from a level base line, back butter each tile, and maintain 3–4 mm joints. Apply non sanded grout to preserve glaze smoothness. Seal cement grout only, caulk joints at corners, and allow full curing before cleaning.
Maintenance
Clean gently with pH-neutral soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid acids, bleach, or abrasives that may dull the glaze. Reseal grout annually, check caulk edges, and use a soft nylon brush for light buildup. Never use metal scrapers or steel wool.
