Lay out the mural dry to verify proper alignment. Use white thin set mortar applied from a level line and back butter each tile. Keep 3–4 mm grout joints, and apply non sanded grout to protect the glaze. Seal only cement grout, caulk corners, and allow full curing before cleaning.
Maintenance
Clean with mild, pH-neutral soap and water. Avoid acids, bleach, or abrasive pads. Reseal grout annually, check caulk edges, and use a soft nylon brush for residue. Do not use steel wool or sharp tools on the glaze.
