Ceramic Installation

Installation Considerations

While ceramic is generally resistant to liquids, stains and dirt, the grout surrounding it is not. That means it’s important to protect the grout with the proper sealant.

Make sure that every tile has at least 85% contact to the mortar and sub-floor for interior applications, 95% for exterior applications, and 100% for submerged applications.

For expert assistance, ask one of our Floor & Decor associates, or join us for one of our free how-to clinics. Please check your local store schedule for clinic times.

*For proper installation, please see manufacturer’s specifications.
