Installation Tips
Lay out the mural dry before installation to confirm tile alignment. Use white thin set mortar from a level base line and back butter each tile. Maintain 3–4 mm grout joints and use non sanded grout to preserve glaze. Seal cement grout, caulk corners, and allow full curing before cleaning.
Maintenance
Clean using a soft cloth and pH-neutral soap. Avoid acids, bleach, or abrasives. Reseal grout annually, inspect caulk at edges, and use a soft nylon brush for gentle cleaning. Do not use metal scrubbers or sharp tools.
