- During application, the tiles must be placed on a flat, clean, and stable surface that supports them completely.
- For continuous designs, the arrangement order and pattern direction of the tiles must be determined before painting.

- During firing, the tiles must be placed flat and supported on suitable kiln shelves.
- During transportation and storage, protective material must be placed between the tiles to protect their surfaces and edges from impact.
INSTALLATION WARNING: If the tiles will be installed on a wall, furniture, or another surface, the installation area must be checked to ensure that it is dry, clean, and has sufficient load-bearing capacity. The adhesive, grout, and support system must be suitable for ceramic tiles and the application area.
Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations may occur between tiles in terms of dimensions, weight, thickness, surface texture, color tone, and edge structure. These variations do not affect use and result from the products’ natural manufacturing process.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a small test before application to check the compatibility of the selected paint and glaze with the products, the surface consistency they produce across a series, and their firing behavior.
