Please refer to and install our products to the set standards set by the TCNA. To avoid affecting the color of the tile, white thinset such as Bostik PM is highly recommended for all installations. For faster installation, use a rapid curing thinset such as Bostik Single-Flex Fast Set. Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes
Recommended Grout
Both Sanded and Non-Sanded grouts are acceptable for use. We recommend Sanded grout for joints larger than 1/8 inch and Non-Sanded for 1/8 inch or smaller

Maintenance
Highly recommended to purchase the Polished Porcelain Maintenance Kit. Porcelain tile is resistant to germs and bacteria and it is also among the easiest of flooring materials to clean. You can clean your porcelain tile with a damp sponge mop. A solution of 1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of water works best – allow time for drying. You can also sweep or vacuum. Although porcelain tile is by definition impervious, it is still possible for its surface to discolor. The following instructions explain how to clean porcelain tile surfaces. For glazed porcelain tiles, use the following instructions for general cleaning: Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the floor. An untreated dry dust mop is recommended instead of a broom. Mop the floor with a mild cleaning solution (do not use wax, oil-based, or abrasive cleaners). Rinse the tile thoroughly with clean and clear water. Drying is also recommended – to increase the shine and to prevent water spots. Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia based cleaners may modify grout color. Do not use wax, oil-based, abrasive cleaners, or sealants. Agents that contain any dyes or colors are not recommended. Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors. Do not use steel wool pads, because loose steel particles may create rust stains in the grout. Drying is also recommended – to increase the shine and to prevent water spots
