Installation guide
Every Palet tile is carefully inspected and packed with its intended placement and orientation in mind. For the most cohesive result, install the tiles in the same direction they were packed and ensure the “spray- mist” effect flows in a uniform direction across all tiles.

Before you start installing, we recommend laying out your tiles on a flat surface to plan the composition. This will help you visualize the final look and make the most of your design. Some of our pattern designs are created by alternating two tile variations either horizontally or vertically. If this applies to your order, the boxes will be labeled “A” and “B”.
2. Label or mark your tiles
To make sure your desired pattern is installed correctly, it’s helpful to label or number the tiles in advance using removable tape or a non- permanent market. This keeps the installation process organized and easy to follow as you work.
3. Use a laser level and spacers
Using the right tools ensures your tiles are perfectly aligned. A laser level helps you keep straight lines, and we recommend using 2 mm spacers for an even and consistent layout across the surface.
4. Adhesive application
Ceramic tiles should be firmly fixed using a notched trowel to spread the adhesive evenly. Then, use the flat side of the trowel to smooth it out for a uniform, ridge-free layer. For extra strength, we also suggest back buttering, applying a thin layer of adhesive to the back of each tile. Choose a high-quality, ready-mixed wall tile adhesive suitable for ceramic or porcelain tiles and indoor vertical surfaces. Always check that it’s compatible with the size and weight of your tiles.
5. Grouting tips
Use cement-based or epoxy grout. Only start grouting once the adhesive has fully set, refer to the product’s technical data sheet for exact drying times. Mix the grout into a smooth paste, then apply it with a grout float or rubber squeegee, filling all joints evenly. Carefully remove any excess without pulling grout from the lines. After about 30 minutes, clean off any remaining residue, or immediately if using epoxy grout. Treat with a grout protection afterwards.
6. Cutting the tiles
Ceramic tiles are very durable, which makes them trickier to cut without the right equipment. For clean, accurate cuts, especially around sockets, taps, or pipes, we recommend using an electric tile cutter with a diamond-encrusted blade.
7. Care and maintenance tips
Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge, clean with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive pads.
