How to Install Duraceramic Tile?

Duraceramic tile will not chip, break or crack like regular ceramic tiles. Manufactured in a 16" square format with scoring, you can cut the score lines to make 4 tiles 8" square. They are best installed in dry residential rooms. This leaves the bathroom out. Use the proper underlayment for the type of floor you are installing Duraceramic tile on. Spread Congoleum Duraceramic tile adhesive on the underlayment using a tile trowel. Allow to dry until tacky, then set the tiles with spacers. Use a roller to press tiles into place, and allow to dry 24 hours. Grout with Congoleum Duraceramic grout.
