Is mosaic tile harder to install?
Installation of mosaic tile is easier compared to the other types because generally, mosaics come with mesh. First, you need to prepare your walls before the installation process. The surface must be perfectly flat and smooth. Whether your tiles are presented on a mesh or as individual pieces, it’s a great deal important to prepare the layout of your tiles before applying them to the wall. In that way, you will avoid unmatching pieces or blanks between the tiles, and you will be able to define the cutting on borders and around obstacles. In the course of this operation, you will have to use specific tools depending on your material.
Now, you are ready for installation. In small sections, apply mortar with a notch trowel. Stick the mesh on the mortar. The starting point might change according to your pattern, and that is why it is important to define the layout before installation. Do these steps until the backsplash area is covered. Wait at least one night for it to dry, then clean the tiles with a cloth and cleaner. Apply the grout with a float at a 45-degree angle. Wait for all the grouts to dry, then wipe the tiles with a wet sponge.
