You would have to be real sure that the cork is glued down really good. Then I would use an adhesive on the back of the self sticking tiles. Most self sticking tiles need a smooth surface to bond to. Cork is not real smooth. If you want the self-sticking feature then I would NOT use the cork. If you don't mind glueing everything then go ahead and use the cork but you might have to use a larger groove on the trowel so more glue is applied to bond to the cork.

The one that came with mine was wrong size, so my tile guy made one from square carrara marble tiles, and made a sidesplash too for the side against wall. They have seams in middle, but look fine.

My electrician, who installed it, told me to lay down one full coat of mortar, let it dry, then lay down more mortar+tile as usual. He said that this would help protect the wiring. Be ware, though, that you must make this first layer *even* or else it will be a pain in the you-know-what to tile over uneven mortar. Make sure it's nice and smooth.

I used this on a coaster project. I've used mod podge to adhere paper to a tile, covered in 3 coats of mod podge and then used the spray to seal it all. It's worked great for my project, but I have not actually sprayed onto plain paper, not already covered by a product.

When I do 12x12 ceramic tiles, I would get sparking, but not on the smaller pieces of ceramic. So depending on the size of tile it can be normal.

I did a large concrete floor with no problem. Took a day or two to stick well. I would have a two sided tape on hand for tiles you have to cut.Good luck

Due to the nature of the material they are not perfectly even - however, I did not feel that caulk was necessary. Foam tape can be purchased at a hardware store if really needed. Since you can place the tiles as you like it is possible to align the ones to reduce any kind of instability. Given the size of the object you are talking about I don't see it being an issue and if for some reason the tiles are messed up you can do as I did and the company sent me new ones to replace the couple that I found to be defective. This is a difficult size to come by and since it matched the square end table I had purchased elsewhere a year prior I was very happy to have found this piece.

It requires a mortar base which must be cured before you adhere the mat in mortar itself. We did this over our plywood subfloor;very easy.

Let me save you the time. This is purely cosmetic. These panels are no where thick enough to absorb any real frequencies. Only the very high ones. If you are tryn to treat brick you need to go with something serious like the rockwool made panels. But to answer your question yes you can stick them to brick or really anything with the 3m tape tabs. And as far as spreading them you can do it again for looks. It's not going to make a noticeable difference unless you covered the entire space and even then it would just sound dead and boring because you would block all the highs and leave the mids n lows to roam freely.

I tacked it down on wonder board with pl400. Then set tiles on it with a 3/8 inch layer of thinnest mortar

Yes. Drill a hole just big enough for the wire. Then put a ton of 5200 on the back so that it fills in not only the hole but the parts of the back that don't mount flush. Then use a solvent to remove excess sealant around the unit and form a full seal like you would if you were grouting tile. Then put sealant on the inside and wire them in and you are good to go. Don't be shy with the sealant. You can always wipe the excess.

It would be a very tight fit. Odds are if you're trying to run a cord through the wall you would have to use in-wall rated methods (i.e. set up a new outlet) to be code-compliant which would render this plate irrelevant.

I used the cord provided and was able to figure out a decent method. As someone else already stated, there is no 'right' way, but if you are reasonably handy and use some common sense, you'll get through it. I started at the middle of the crossbar and worked my way around to the back. Then repeated for the other side. The corners are a little challenging. You may want to check YouTube for ideas. Good luck.

Absolutely this is a fantastic underlayment for any flooring and is easy to work with compared to other underlayments. You can use it under any type of flooring that isn't glued directly down to subfloor such as vinyl etc... as a sound barrier even under carpet. I am a flooring professional.

The trim won't interfere. The unit does not need to be flush. If the trim is thick, you can attach a short length of cording. You can use the bracket on the unit. Run the cording thru the screw hole on the bracket and knot the end. On the wall end, tie the cording around the screw and then screw it into the wall. Hopefully, that helps you some. Good luck.
