Step 2: Layout the tiles
All tiles are stitched. The yarn matches the leather. Be sure not to cut into the tiles. Corner or edge tiles could be purchased here.
Step 3: Prepare The Wall
The wall on which you are going to place the tiles must be even, clean and free of grease
Step 4: Mark out tile area
Outline the area in which the tiles will be installed with a solid line using a pencil, measuring tape and leveling device.
Step 5: Mark out primer area
Draw another dashed line approximately 1.5" insetted from the first line. This area is where the primer will be applied.
Apply the dark colored primer evenly within this border. Wait for the primer to dry completely until installing the tiles.

Step 6: Mark out tile rows
Mark out horizontal guide lines using a pencil and leveling equiptment, spacing them approximately 12" apart, as each tile is 12 5/8” x 12 5/8” (32cm x 32 cm) in size and will be "weaved" into one another.
Step 7: Prepare for installation
- Arrange the tiles in the order in which it will be installed. Tiles should be installed horizontally, starting from the top left corner and work your way to the right.
- Lay down floor protection cover.
- Make sure the primed wall is even, cleaned and free of grease.
Step 8: Apply high tack sealant
- Apply sealant on the back of each tile right before it's being installed to avoid the adhesive dry out prematurely.
- To prevent sealant seep out and become visible, apply smaller blobs(3/8" dia.) around the edges of the weavable area (see picture)
- Apply larger blobs(3/4" dia.) to the areas where there's no seepage concerns. (see picture)
