Installing
Ceramic Tile
Apply latex-fortified mortar or
Type 1 organic adhesive with a
notched trowel. Hold trowel at
an angle to maintain uniform
thickness. Refer to setting material
manufacturer for specific
information related to trowel type
and size.
Working a small area at a time,
press tile into place with a slight
twisting motion to seat properly.
Prevent adhesive buildup on
tile edge and in grout space.
If adhesive squeezes from under
tile, remove excess before it dries.
Keep tiles and joints straight
and uniform. Use tile spacers
if desired.
