INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Get Ready
PREP
Select an appropriate wall to hang your Talaya tiles - clean, dry, smooth, and untextured. If hanging on a painted surface, ensure paint is properly adhered to wall (does not stretch, bubble, peel or chip easily), and has completely dried for at least 7 days.
DO NOT hang on wallpaper, textured walls, rough or non-stick surfaces, brick, or fabric.
DO NOT use tiles on non-wall surfaces, such as ceilings and floors.
CREATE YOUR DESIGN
PLAY!
On a clean, soft surface, lay out your Talaya tiles, and arrange in your desired configuration.
MEASURE & MAP
MAP YOUR DESIGN ON THE WALL
For simple patterns, we recommend marking the center of the wall, or the place you'd like to center your design. If spacing your tiles, use an object in the precise size of the desired space to guide your placement of each tile.
For complex designs, mark the location of each tile. We recommend using painter's tape or very light, erasable pencil to preserve the finish of your walls.
TILE TIME
PREPARE YOUR TILES
Separate the provided 3M® Command® Narrow Picture Hanging Strips. Click one strip into each of the four permanent, clear interlock strips on each Talaya tile, ensuring that the 3M® Command® Narrow Picture Hanging Strip pull tab is directed TOWARD the tile handle, and that each strip is fully enmeshed with its permanent interlock strip.
MAKE MAGIC
HANG & TEST
Using a level if needed, begin hanging tiles according to your design, removing the backing paper on each 3M® Command® Narrow Picture Hanging Strip, placing tile in the desired position on the wall, and pressing firmly over each interlocking strip to ensure a complete seal.
For vertical or diagonal hanging, ensure that each Talaya tile handle is directed toward the floor, rather than the ceiling, to facilitate easy removal.
After each tile is placed, gently press one hand into the short side opposite the tile handle, and lift the tile handle with the other hand in a gentle peeling motion to separate the tile from the 3M® Command® Narrow Picture Hanging Strip. Put the Talaya tile aside, and using your fingers, gently press each 3M® Command® Narrow Picture Hanging Strip against the wall to ensure a smooth, complete seal.
TAKE IT EASY
WAIT, REATTACH & ENJOY!
Wait 1 hour for the adhesive to build, then reattach each Talaya tile, using a level if needed, ensuring that each tile's 4 clear interlock strips click firmly into place with the matching 3M® Command® Narrow Picture Hanging Strip on the wall.
