Installing metal backplash tile, including stainless steel mosaic tile, aluminum mosaic tile and copper backsplash tiles, is nearly identical to the process of installing ceramic or glass tile. Iinstalling metal mosaic tile on a wall or backsplash is different than the adhesive made for floor tile installation.

Enough metal mosaic tile to cover the area that you require, we recommend ordering 10-15% more than you measure, to account for overages.

Enough wall or floor tile mortar / adhesive to cover the area you are going to be tiling. Mortar for standard ceramic porcelain tile is 100% compatible with our products.

Enough grout to cover the area you are going to be tiling (if the tile has grout lines). Use non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the finish of the tile. You can also use epoxy grout.

5/32" V-notch trowel for applying mortar (other similar V-notch trowel sizes will also work).

A rubber grout float. A couple of clean sponges and/or

cheesecloth towels. Two or three buckets, for water mixing the

mortar and grout.

A wet tile saw / motorized tile cutter if there are any cuts to be made around certain obstacles. Most stainless steel is a ceramic base with a metal cap, not solid steel.

OPTIONAL - A flat wood block (a 2x4 around 6" to 12" long works well) and a hammer or mallet.
