IMPORTANT! When planning the tile layout, the tile must be flush with the edge of the wall material at the cutout location for the unit.

Plan the tile installation for the walls, then mark the plan on the wall material. Attach the tile with tile adhesive or thin-set mortar designed for wet environments. Allow the tile adhesive or thin-set mortar to cure.

Apply grout to the tile, except for the expansion joints in the alcove.

Wipe the area with a damp sponge, allow the grout to set, then buff the tile with a soft cloth.
