🔹 Step-by-Step Installation

1. Surface Preparation

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and level before starting.

For walls, use cement board or primed drywall.

For floors, make sure the subfloor is sturdy and well-supported.

2. Layout Planning

• Dry the tiles on the floor to preview the pattern before applying Adhesive.
• Ensure the herringbone pattern aligns properly and adjust if necessary.
• Mark guidelines on the surface using a pencil and level for precise placement.

3. Applying Adhesive

• Use a notched trowel to spread a thin layer of thin-set mortar evenly over a small area (about 2-3 sq. ft. at a time).
• Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle to create ridges in the mortar for strong adhesion.

4. Placing the Tiles

• Carefully place the mosaic tile sheets onto the mortar.
• Press firmly with a rubber grout float to ensure full contact.
• Use tile spacers (if needed) to maintain even gaps.
• Continue until the entire area is covered, making necessary cuts with a wet saw or tile cutter.

5. Grouting the Tiles

• Allow the Adhesive to dry for 24 hours before grouting.
• Use non-sanded grout to prevent scratches on the honed surface.
• Spread the grout using a rubber float, working at a 45-degree angle to fill the gaps.
• Wipe excess grout with a damp sponge, rinsing frequently.
• Let it dry for 24 hours, then polish it with a clean cloth.

6. Sealing the Limestone (Recommended for Longevity)

• Apply a high-quality natural stone sealer to protect against stains and moisture.
• Use a soft cloth or applicator pad, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Re-seal every 6-12 months for best durability.

🔹 Maintenance Tips

• Clean regularly with pH-neutral stone cleaner (avoid acidic cleaners).
• Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining.
• Use felt pads on furniture to avoid scratches.
