Installation Tips
Lay out the mural dry before setting to align the vase and birds symmetrically. Use white thin set mortar from a level line and back butter each tile. Keep 3–4 mm joints, and apply non sanded grout to protect the glaze. Seal cement grout only, caulk joints at transitions, and allow full curing before cleaning.
Maintenance
Clean with mild pH-neutral soap and soft cloths. Avoid acids, bleach, and abrasive cleaners that could dull the glaze. Reseal grout annually, inspect caulk, and dust intricate painted details with a soft nylon brush. Never use metal tools or harsh pads on glazed surfaces.
