A:  Hi! We currently do not offer any trim pieces that directly coordinate with our Resort Marine Blue In these cases, we recommend using a Schluter trim. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi! The grout color used in our product images is Custom Building Products #381 Bright White. It is important to note that grout color is a personal choice and can greatly impact the overall look of an installation. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Hi! For our Resort Coral Blue we would recommend the use of a 3/16 in. x 5/32 in. V-notch trowel. Home Depot always recommends Custom Building Products setting materials and their V-notch floor trowel found here, https://thd.co/2SMTz5T may be a suitable choice. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Yes, probably. Tile needs a stiff unyielding backing. Try also using the rubberized, flexible grout instead of sand-based grout, to minimize any cracking from the drying plywood substrate.

A:  Hi! While you can install our Resort Marine Blue can be directly installed to plywood, we highly recommend adhering these products to a cement backer board such as HardieBacker Board, http://thd.co/2ayfAPJ. Proper preparation will ensure the integrity and lifespan of your installation, please consult a licensed contractor if you are uncertain about your specific application. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  Yes with a proper mortar. But it won't be waterproof. For my kitchen bar the base is plywood but there is a backer board on top of that.

A:  No. They are made to be used as a grouted tile.

A:  Hi! No, our Resort Coral Blue is not a peel and stick tile, but rather a mosaic sheet comprised of individual square shaped pieces adhered to a mesh backing. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (800)-963-7652.

A:  No, they are not peel and stick--Those little squares are all separate little squares that are held together with a fiber type netting so you can cut them down to size as needed for boarders and small spaces
