How-to Install Metal Tile on a Kitchen Backsplash

• Installing metal backplash tile, including
  stainless steel mosaic tile, aluminum mosaic tile
  and copper backsplash tiles, is nearly identical
  to the process of installing ceramic or glass
  tile. Iinstalling metal mosaic tile on a wall or
  backsplash is different than the adhesive made
  for floor tile installation.

Required Installation Tools And Materials For
Metal Mosaic Installation

• Enough metal mosaic tile to cover the area that
  you require, we recommend ordering 10-15 more
  than you measure, to account for overages.
• Enough wall or floor tile mortar / adhesive to
  cover the area you are going to be tiling. Mortar
  for standard ceramic porcelain tile is 100
  compatible with our products.
• Enough grout to cover the area you are going to
  be tiling (if the tile has grout lines). Use
  non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the finish
  of the tile. You can also use epoxy grout.

• 5/32" V-notch trowel for applying mortar (other
  similar V-notch trowel sizes will also work).
• A rubber grout float.
• A couple of clean sponges and/or cheesecloth
  towels.
• Two or three buckets, for water mixing the mortar
  and grout.

6

• A wet tile saw / motorized tile cutter if there
  are any cuts to be made around certain obstacles.
  Most stainless steel is a ceramic base with a
  metal cap, not solid steel.
• OPTIONAL - A flat wood block (a 2x4 around 6" to
  12" long works well) and a hammer or mallet.
