PLANNING
SUBSTRATES
Before installation, check that substrates are clean, free of loose fragments, properly dried and cured, flat and level, and that mechanical strength requirements based on the intended use have been met.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
The only way to guarantee the long-lasting performance of ceramic and porcelain tile installations is to properly plan the process. It is therefore advisable to consult the national regulations in force in each country, for example standard UNI 11493 in Italy, which provides all necessary instructions regarding the choice of materials, correct planning, use and installation, so as to ensure all quality, performance and durability standards are safely met.
WORKSITE CONDITIONS
Check the suitability of the temperature, humidity, light conditions etc. at the time of the product’s application.
BACK-BUTTERING
For exterior installations, large tiles, floors with intense or heavy traffic, vibrating supports and situations exposed to high temperature fluctuations, the adhesive mortar must be applied to both the substrate and the back of the tiles so as to obtain a solid bed of adhesive without any air bubbles.
MATERIALS
Check that all materials used for tiling (ceramic materials, leveling systems, adhesives, grouts, waterproofing products, etc.) are suitable for the intended use and have been correctly stored.
EXPANSION JOINTS
Check that the perimeter, expansion, divider and structural elastic joints have been correctly designed and prepared. Divider joints are normally needed for 20/25 m2 (21.9/27.3yd2 ) indoor sections, and 9-15m2 (9.84/16.4yd2 ) outdoor sections. For exteriors, make sure joints are properly waterproofed and sealed.
JOINTS
In any type of ceramic and porcelain tiling, suitably sized joints must be created based on the following parameters :
- Type, format and size tolerance of tiles
- Thermal expansion coefficients of tiling materials
- Mechanical properties of installation materials
- Position and trajectory of joints
- Mechanical features of substrate
- Intended use and operating conditions
