Dear Valued Home Depot Customer,
We reached out to MFG for more information and below is their response.
“ Hello and thank you for your interest in our product. Aspect can be installed over most structurally sound substrates if they are flat, clean, smooth, dry, and free of dust, wax, soap scum and grease. Acceptable substrates are drywall, plaster or clean, smooth tile (glazed, porcelain type tile; not porous or textured), concrete, smooth stucco, wood paneling, mirror, glass, metal, etc,. Any damaged, loose or uneven areas must be repaired, patched and leveled. Fill cracks and irregularities with wallboard compound or spackling, then sand smooth with fine-grade sandpaper.
The substrate must be primed with a fresh coat of primer. Consult with your local paint supplier for more information.
If installing Aspect over existing ceramic tile, be sure to thoroughly clean old tiles, but priming ceramic tiles is not required. Use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol two-cloth cleaning method as surface preparation when applying tiles to a nonporous substrate, such as ceramic tile or metal.
Failure to properly prepare the substrate may invalidate the warranty.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact our customer care team at 800.434.3750. Thank you! "
