Applications
Milk Glass tiles can be used on interior walls and residential
floors. Common applications include: bathroom walls and floors,
backsplashes, column wraps, furniture fronts, swimming pool
interiors and other decorative surfaces.
Installation and Maintenance
Underlayment should be either fully cured concrete or properly
installed cement backerboard, and must be dry, stable, flat and free
of foreign substances, with no risk of water seepage. Do not use a
jagged edge applicator. Existing joints in subsurface must be
carried through tile work. Expansion joints should be installed at
all "changes of plane" and where tile abuts restraining surfaces.
Recommended grout joint width is at least 1/8". For 1/8" joints,
grout with un-sanded grout, Laticrete 1600 series. Silicone
caulking sealant must be installed in all corner joints in the place
of grout.
Cutting Tiles
Use a standard new, sharp blade suitable for cutting glass tiles,
which must be constantly kept wet with water. Cutting the pieces
after taping both sides will reduce chipping. Cutting must not be
carried out near the edges of the individual pieces. Smooth off any
sharp edges with sandpaper. Holes can be made with a specific drill
bit for glass with a diameter up to 5/16". Apply water continually
while drilling.
