Michele Worboys Lawrence

Michele Worboys Lawrence I wanted to show off my Modwalls installation of Mod Dotz but unfortunately the installer we had did not do the best job. Any one know the best grout to use? Ours is not smooth and is cracked really badly.

Hi Michele, You should be able to use any grout as long as it is not too old and is mixed correctly. Usually cracks will happen because of some movement between the floor and the wall where an expansion joint of caulking is installed. If the crack is in the middle of the floor or wall then the substrate must be flexing. Give me a call in the office tomorrow at 877-439-9734 and we can talk about your situation.

Hi JoAnne, Here is a link to our glass tile installation guide which will give you step-by-step installation instructions: http://www.ctioa.org/reports/fr93.html
Also, Home Depot and Lowes often hold glass tile installation classes, so you might want to see if one is being held in your area any time soon. Last, we recommend you do at least one ... See Morepractice piece on a steping stone or a table top to get the feel for it. Feel free to call in for more tips if you have any additional questions (877) 439-9734. Good luck!

I'm currently developing a slate tile mosaic - which will be the centerpiece/focal point on a new reception station that I've designed. In the vast sea of design projects that I've tackled over the years, this is my maiden voyage into the mosaic bay. Loving how it's shaping up.

Kimberly Dodge Pettit

Kimberly Dodge Pettit I posted yest. about a "peel & stick" tile mount product, wondering whether anyone had tried it with Brio tiles? A friend of mine found it at one of the big box stores and used it to mount 4x4 stone tiles & accent mosaics for a backsplash and said it worked great. But I'm a little nervous. Am going to try it today on mockups...

Hi Kimberly, thanks for your post. We really recommend that our customers install Brio tile by using a modified latex thin set and grout (both sanded and unsanded grout are suitable). You can see our complete installation instructions by following this link: http://www.ctioa.org/reports/fr93.html
Still, good luck using the peel & stick product and let us know how it goes! ~Sarah

Not convinced. The instructions say that you can use it for mesh-mounted tiles as long as some of the sticky stuff squeezes through the mesh, but for the couple of samples with mesh backing, it seems like the mesh (and the grout) is the only thing holding the tile on. And the paper-faced Brio tiles definitely won't work with this product, IMO - the... See More tiles are too small to match up well with the grid of blobs of the sticky stuff. I think it might work with larger tiles (my friends used it with 2x2 & 4x4 stone tile), but for the small mosaics, I'm going to stick with thin set.

Judy Wiley Anyone have any tips for a DYIer putting up vanilla matte pennyround for a backsplash? I already tried once and took it down before I ruined all the tile. I can't get the spacing right between the sheets ...??? Have tiled before, but was a shower with 4x4 field tile.
