Overlap joint tiles offer a straightforward installation method, requiring only adhesive for mounting directly onto a sturdy surface. These tiles feature overlapping edges, simplifying alignment and negating the need for additional pieces to conceal seams. Always consult local building codes beforehand.

1. Layout Planning

Embrace the “measure twice, cut once” approach. Sketch your area, marking walls, doorways, and fixtures. Plan your tile layout thoughtfully, considering the impact on cuts and centering around key features.

2. Temperature Considerations

Cast & Bevel overlap joint tiles withstand up to 120°F. High-heat sources like halogen lights or appliances may require special considerations.

3. Surface Preparation

Ensure a flat, clean, and solid installation surface by removing textures or unevenness for optimal tile adhesion.

4. Room Cleaning

Complete all messy work before tile installation to prevent dust attraction due to static. Keep the installation area tidy to avoid issues with adhesion.

5. Starting Point

After finalizing your layout, use chalk lines to mark your starting point, adjusting for room irregularities.

6. Tile Installation

Apply adhesive sparingly. Start with a bead around the perimeter and a central line. Place the first tile slightly off the chalk line, then slide into position, pressing down to secure. Overlap edges with subsequent tiles, ensuring snug fits. Clean adhesive spills immediately. Trim tiles as necessary, keeping cut edges towards walls.

Maintenance Tips

Painting

Non-laminated tiles can be painted. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Avoid solvent-based products. Test on a sample first. Painting may void warranties.

Cleaning

Use a damp rag for cleaning; mild soap for tough spots. Avoid harsh chemicals to prevent damage.

Storing

Store extra tiles upright, not stacked, in a cool, shaded area.
