RONA – How to Install Mosaic Tiles

Mosaic tiles can be used on a wall to create a colourful background to a décor or simply to add small bursts of colour. These tiles are easy to install and harmonize well with other types of tiles. Here, mosaic tiles are used to create a backsplash in a kitchen.

Before the installation, make sure that the surface of the walls is smooth and flat.
If you’re tiling over a painted wall, lightly sand the surface first.

• Bucket

• Flat head nails
• Gloves
• Grinder or wet-cutting tile saw
• Grout
• Grout float

  1. When he started applying the Grout sealer I was like 'That will take some time' Then the commentator says 'After about 10 days' and I was Like 'Yep it would take me 10 days to seal all those lines too!' Lol

  2. 2.17 fixing the second mat you should have turned it upside down first in order to avoid similar white tiles next to each other so it looks like random mosaik.
