Tile Spacing – Face-Mounted Paper

Concern:

Achieve even spacing when mounting tile on a wall.
Protect face of tile during transportation and handling.

Countermeasure:

Secure spacing before installation.
Cover tile.
Glass mosaic tile comes glued face down on paper with their back side exposed. They have ridges on the back to allow adhesive to bond securely to an otherwise slick glass surface.
First, tile adhesive is applied to the wall. Then the sheet is pressed into the adhesive paper-side out. After the adhesive and time have had time to bond securely, the paper is sprayed with water until it slides from the face of the tiles. Paper removed, the tiles can be grouted.

Limitation:
