INSTALLATION • Please visit fireclaytile.com for detailed instructions. • We recommend using white thin-set mortar, mixed with a liquid latex ad mixture. Mastic is not an acceptable setting material for glass. • Glass tiles should only be installed over cured and stable substrates. We highly recommend that a crack suppression membrane be used to prevent shrinkage or movement of the substrate to prevent cracking of tile. • For cutting, we recommend using a Diamond Blade wet saw, rough edges may be smoothed with a sanding stone.
