Installation Tips
Plan the mural layout dry on a table first. Use white thin set mortar, set from a level line, and back butter each tile. Keep 3–4 mm joints and choose non sanded grout to protect the glaze. Seal cement grout only, caulk changes of plane, and allow full cure.
Maintenance
Wipe splashes promptly and clean with pH-neutral soap and water. Avoid acids, bleach, abrasive powders, and harsh pads. Reseal grout annually, inspect caulk at edges, and use a soft nylon brush for stubborn residue. Do not use steel wool or metal scrapers.
