Step 1

​Remove power outlets and light switch covers before installation. The wall should be prepared and ensure it is clean, dry, flat, primed and free of dust, dirt and oils. If the wall is damaged or uneven, additional construction adhesive should be used.

Step 2

​Peel tile backing and lightly stick into place.
​ Important: Lining up the tiles properly might be a challenge as the other parts of the tile may start to stick to the wall before you get it lined up properly. So peel off ONLY THE FIRST 2 INCHES of the backing, line up the tile properly, and then peel off the rest of the backing and stick the whole tile on the wall

Step 3

​Once the tile is in the desired place, apply pressure to the tile.
​Important: Make sure the tile is positioned properly before applying any pressure. Applying pressure to the tile will permanently bond it to the wall. If the tile is installed in the wrong position, removing it may cause damage to substrate where the tiles have been applied.

​
​Step 1.. Clean the Wall

Use an all purpose wall cleaner to prepare the wall. Use powerful grease-remover if needed. Make sure the walls are free of dust and grease and are completely dry before applying.

​Step 2. Cut Off the Overlapping Tabs

For jagged edge models, cut off the overlapping tabs of the first tile in order to get a straight edge to begin the installation.

​Step 3. Peel 

Peel off the protective paper in the back and stick the tile on wall. 
​IMPORTANT: Lining up the tabs properly might be a challenge as the other parts of the tile may start to stick to the wall before you get it lined up properly. So peel off ONLY THE FIRST 2 INCHES of the backing, line up the tabs properly, and then peel off the rest of the backing and stick the whole tile on the wall.

Step 4. Stick

Use a level or chalk line to trace a guideline on the wall. Align the top of the first tile on the line that was already drawn. Apply pressure on the tile to finish. ​

​Note: The 1st tile must be perfectly aligned as all the followed tiles will be installed against this one. For the 2nd and all remaining, overlap the grout line of the edges over the already installed tiles side by side for a seamless appearance.

Warning: 

1. ​For gas ranges without a back control panel or metal plate, a safety zone (without Crystiles tiles) of at least 18" (46cm) must be preserved to avoid direct exposure to open flames. 
2. For small appliances like toasters, counter ovens, etc., leave a safety clearance of at least 3" (8cm) between Crystiles tiles and the appliance. 

Attention:

1. Do not use abrasive-cleaning product to clean Crystiles tiles. 
2. Do not use in shower. 
3. Do not touch the adhesive part with fingers.
