Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

1. Ensure that the surface you are tiling is clean, dry, and level.
2. Apply tile adhesive evenly on the surface using a notched trowel.

Step 2: Position the First Tile

1. Place the first tile at the starting point of your project, pressing it firmly into the adhesive.
2. Check the level of the tile using a spirit level.

Step 3: Insert Tile Spacers

1. Position a Vitrex Tile Spacer at each corner of the tile.
2. Ensure the spacer is fully embedded in the adhesive but visible enough to be removed later.

Step 4: Continue Tiling

1. Place the next tile adjacent to the first, using the spacers to maintain a consistent gap.
2. Repeat the process, adding spacers between each tile to ensure uniform spacing.
3. Regularly check that the tiles are level and adjust as necessary.

Step 5: Allow Adhesive to Set

1. Once all tiles are placed, allow the adhesive to set according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Do not disturb the tiles during this time to prevent misalignment.

Step 6: Remove Tile Spacers

1. Carefully remove the tile spacers once the adhesive is set and the tiles are secure.
2. Dispose of or clean the spacers for future use.

Step 7: Apply Grout

1. Mix and apply grout to the spaces between the tiles using a grout float.
2. Wipe excess grout with a damp sponge and allow it to dry.
