Materials should always be installed according to local codes, ordinances, trade practices and climatic conditions. Consult with the setting material manufacturer for each project. There are almost no restrictions on interior installations of Miraton materials.
However, until further testing is completed, it is NOT recommended that Miraton be installed on exterior surfaces.

1. Surface preparation 

The surface must be free of coatings, oil, wax or anything that would prevent  proper bonding.

2. Installation methods 

Miraton tiles up to 400mmx400mm may be applied over plywood, gypsom board, "floated" walls or cementitious backer board. The following must be considered in  the selection of the backer board/substrate for walls.

1. Whether the wall will be subjected to water, and
2. The weight of the wall tile : do not use gypsum board where the height of the tile application will result in weight which is greater than the shear strength of the paper facing of the gypsum board, usually more than 4 feet high. Installation materials include thinset or organic adhesive.

3. Protection

1. Protect finished work against weather, freezing and immersion in water for at least 21 days after completion of the work.
2. Protect walls from impact, vibration and hammering on adjacent walls for at least 14 days after installation.

4. Grouting

On walls, install Miraton tiles leaving a regular even spacing between tiles of at least 1/16"(1.5mm)(specify joint width if wider joints are desired)    . No butt joints shall be permitted.

4. Wall anchors System  

Occasionally, 3/4"(20mm) material will be the selection of choice for a wall installation.  Miraton 3/4"(20mm) large format panels can be "anchored" to the wall using any of the approved anchor systems available. Cutting slabs into 3/4" Miraton, as is done with natural marble and granite, creates an extremely strong anchor.
