For a quick step-by-step explanation of how to put up the panels, see the below instructions:  1. **Take your measurements and cut the tile sheets to fit **the space you’d like to remodel. To cut the perimeter of the tiles, use either a utility knife, rotary cutter, oscillating saw, or circular saw. To create access holes for light switches, pipes, and outlets, you would use the same tool set.   2. **Adhere the tiles to the surface. **Apply [construction adhesive or type-1 mastic](https://www.quotes.six3tile.com/hubfs/Documents/Manuals/TECHBLTN_Adhesives_09292021_v03.pdf?hsLang=en) to the underside of the tile sheet and press it onto the surface. When placing multiple sheets beside each other, use ⅛” spacers on the joints for uniformity and perfect grout lines. All standard Six3Tile products have a ⅛” grout line.  3. **Grout and finish the tile edges**. Unsanded or nonsanded grout is appropriate for these tile panels. We recommend typical Schluter-type edging for exposed edges.  4. **You’re all done!  ** Six3Tile products are sure to revolutionize your tile installation process, saving you time and money as you wow your tenants and clients.
