Step 1 cut

Cut your Ceramilite Designer Tile Panels to size using a fine tooth hand or power saw.


Step 2 Glue

Apply a waterproof panel adhesive (such as Ceramilite adhesive) to the rear of the Ceramilite Designer Tile Panel using the caulking method or trowel on the adhesive using a spreader trowel. Do not apply adhesive within 50mm of the tile panel edge. Finally apply a silicone bead to the back of the sheet on the extreme outside edge and to the plumbing fixture cut outs. Do not let the silicone and adhesive come in contact with each other.


Step 3 Position

Affix the Ceramilite Designer Tile Panel to a clean, flat surface. Ensure the panel is installed with the arrow pointing to the ceiling. When positioning the panel on the wall leave 3mm between panels and both the top and bottom of each sheet for silicone caulking. Brace until adhesive sets.Handy

Tip: To gain a better adhesion after placing panel against wall, press flat and then peel panel back to ensure glue bead spreads before bracing.


Step 4 Seal

Finally, caulk generously around and between panels with Ceramilite 100% Silicone Compound. Ensure all edges are well covered and gaps are sealed.
With time, silicone will wear away.
Always recaulk so that the level of silicone retains its protective qualities. Some masking tapes will peel the paint surface if left for prolonged periods ensure easy release masking tape is used.
