Tiles are usually installed on a stable, flat surface made of diverse materials. Attachment to the substrate is secured using a suitable adhesive (ThinSet), adhering to both manufacturer and TCNA guidelines. Following installation, joints are filled with the appropriate grout, and expansion joints undergo sealing

Maintenance
For the best results, wipe with water and dry. Do not use abrasive utensils or tools. Does not require sealing; however, it is a good idea to seal grout or any joints. Routine cleaners should never contain harsh chemicals as these can damage tile. Acids can damage grout and the glazed surface of the tile. Ammonia can discolor grout
