When installing ceramic or porcelain tiles or mosaics, make sure all your products, substrate, tile, thinset and grout are compatible with each other. Inspect all materials before use and getting started. Dry lay or do a mockup to confirm your layout, grout joint size and that the final look meets your expectations. General Notes: All installations should refer to the most current TCNA manual. Tile Council of North America 864.464. All TileBar installation instructions are suggestions. Specific installation questions should be brought to a local tile professional. Follow directions on all materials, especially mixing quantities. Inspect all materials before using to make sure there are no defects. Installation is acceptance, material claims will not be entertained after install. Blending different boxes of tile is recommended before and during installation. Ensure proper Safety – PPE (ex: Gloves)

Maintenance
Keeping an installation looking new is not as difficult as you may think. Regular cleaning the entire system with a neutral PH non-acidic cleaner should do the job. There are more harsh cleaners available and must use carefully by following all instructions. Always do a test area in a non-visible place
