Installation Guide

Surface Preparation

Ensure surface is clean, level, and dry
Apply waterproofing layer if necessary
Use pool-specific adhesive (water-resistant)

Installation Process

Planning: Design pattern before starting
Adhesive: Use modified thin-set mortar
Mounting: Sheets come pre-mounted on 12"x12" mesh
Grout: Use epoxy grout for maximum durability
Sealing: Apply sealer after 48-72 hours

Coverage and Calculation

Each box contains 5 sheets of 12"x12" = 5 sq ft coverage

Calculation example:

15' x 30' pool = 450 sq ft
450 sq ft ÷ 5 sq ft per box = 90 boxes needed
Add 10% extra for cuts and waste = 99 boxes
