DESCRIPTION and APPLICATION
Water and Light Mosaics are made in the USA. They are available in 13 colors and 3 finishes (Clear, Frosted and Iridescent) and are a through-color, cast product made in part from recycled glass. Water and Light Mosaics can be used in any residential or commercial location: interior or exterior, on walls, counters, floors, in kitchens, baths, in swimming pools, spas or fireplace surrounds.
Water and Light Mosaics are sold by the sheet (11 5/8” x 11 5/8”) and are 3/8” thick (nominal). Beautiful when used alone, they are also a perfect compliment to stone, ceramic and metal tile. Water and Light Mosaics convey the bright, living qualities of light rippling across water. They reflect and refract color wherever they are installed creating a unique, artistic feel. Use lighting to highlight your installation and bring the true beauty of this product into your home. With light directed from a 45 degree angle, our iridescent tile comes fully to life.

INSTALLATION
Water and Light Mosaics are mounted on Kraft paper. The paper faces up during installation and removes easily when wet. The glue is water soluble, so residue wipes away cleanly.
We recommend that you use white thin-set mortar with 100% latex additive. Simply apply the thin-set to your floor or wall, smooth out the trowel marks (Water and Light Mosaics are translucent and will show trowel marks.) and lay the tile with the paper facing up. Water and Light Mosaics can be trimmed using any wet-saw with a diamond blade meant for porcelain or glass tile. As the thin-set cures, wet the paper with a sponge, wait 5 minutes and peel off. Grout as you normally would with ceramic tile. (See complete installation instructions, which are included with every order.)

GROUT
Any color sanded grout mixed with 100% latex admix may be used. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s specifications as they apply to your installation. Because Water and Light Mosaics are translucent, the color of the grout will impart some color to the glass, allowing Water and Light Mosaics to blend with any color tile or stone. A grout sealer should be used to seal your grout. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use of their product.

UPKEEP
Water and Light Mosaics are non-pourous and may be cleaned with soap and water or a non-abrasive, non-corrosive cleaner (e.g. Windex, Fantastic, All-purpose citrus cleaner) applied with a standard, kitchen Scotchbrite sponge.
