[01:13] - **Start from outer edge**: We recommend starting by laying the first tile on the outer edge of the installation area away from the house and working your way in from there. [01:24] - **1-2 inch expansion gap**: Composite tiles can react to fluctuations in temperature they may contract in Colder Weather and expand in warmer weather ensure there is adequate space allowing for heat expansion between the wall and the tiles we advise a minimum of 1 to 2 in 2.5 to 5 cm. [02:10], [04:31] - **Carbide-tip blades for cuts**: Cut the tiles accordingly using a jigsaw or a circular saw it is highly recommended to use saw blades equipped with carbide tips after cutting use sandpaper to smooth the cut Edge.
