Installation Procedure

1. Surface Preparation

Ensure the tile surface is clean, dry, and free from any dust or debris. Use a broom or vacuum to remove any loose particles. If necessary, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to ensure proper adhesion.

2. Apply Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of mastic adhesive or thin-set mortar to the back of the edging strip using a notched trowel. The adhesive should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Position Edging Strip

Carefully position the edging strip over the tile edge, ensuring it is level and aligned. Use a level to check for accuracy. Press the strip firmly into the adhesive to ensure a secure bond.

4. Cut Edging Strip

Measure and mark the excess length of the edging strip that extends beyond the tile edge. Use a utility knife to cut the strip to the desired length. Ensure clean, straight cuts for a precise fit.

5. Grout and Caulk

Once the edging strips have been installed, apply grout between the tile edges and the edging strips using a grout float. Ensure the grout is pressed into the joints and any excess is removed. After the grout has cured, apply a thin bead of caulk along the edges of the edging strips for added protection and a watertight seal.

6. Clean Up

Once the grout and caulk have dried, remove any excess material and clean the surface with a damp cloth. Allow the entire installation to dry completely before using the tiled surface.

Tips for Successful Installation

Select edging strips that match the thickness of your tiles to ensure a seamless fit.
Use a level and measuring tape to ensure precise alignment and avoid uneven edges.
Press the edging strips firmly into the adhesive to create a strong bond.
Apply grout and caulk in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for optimal adhesion and sealing.
Allow the grout and caulk to cure completely before exposing the surface to water or heavy use.
