Installation Tips
Lay out the mural dry first to align the circular sun and moon correctly. Use white thin set mortar from a level reference line and back butter each tile. Maintain 3–4 mm joints and choose non sanded grout to protect the glaze. Seal cement grout only, caulk changes of plane, and allow full curing before regular cleaning.
Maintenance
Clean the mural with pH-neutral soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid acids, bleach, abrasive powders, and harsh pads that can scratch or dull the glaze. Reseal grout annually, inspect caulk at edges, and loosen stubborn residue with a soft nylon brush. Never use steel wool or metal scrapers on the tile surface.
