Installation Guide
Step 1: Prep the Wall
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat. A perfect bond starts with a spotless wall.
Step 2: Measure & Level
Measure your space and use a level to mark your starting guidelines. Accuracy is key!
Step 3: Cut to Fit
Use a utility knife to score and snap the tiles (or use a saw) to fit around outlets and corners.
Step 4: Position with Care
Peel back just the corner (about 1/4) of the liner. Align the tile to your marks and fix the position.
Step 5: Peel & Press
Slowly remove the rest of the liner while pressing the tile firmly from the center outward.
Step 6: Align & Repeat
Interlock the next tile tightly against the previous one. Maintain a level line throughout the process.
Cutting Grips Guidelines
Step 1: Apply the Grips
Attach 2-3 grips to the back of your ruler.
Step 2: Score the Tile
Press firmly and score the surface with a utility knife.
Step 3: Snap the Tile
Bend along the score line to snap the tile cleanly.
Step 4: Fully Separate
Run the utility knife along the score line to fully separate the tile cleanly.
