1 installation 6.1 Installation Information in this section is based on the recommendations given in the following Codes of Practice: BS : Code of Practice for the design and installation of internal ceramic and natural stone wall tiling and mosaics in normal conditions. BS : Code of Practice for the design and installation of external ceramic wall tiling and mosaics (including terracotta and faience tiles). BS : Code of Practice for the design and installation of terrazzo tile and slab, natural stone and composition block floorings. BS EN 13888: Grouts for tiles. Definitions and specifications. In addition, the general principles of BS 8000: Part 11, Code of Practice for wall and floor tiling should be followed. BS : Code of Practice for the design and installation of ceramic floor tiles and mosaics. BS : Code of Practice for tiling and mosaics in specific conditions. General Handling and storage Ston-Ker tile ranges are rectified tiles. They therefore require careful handling and storage on site, to avoid nipped edges, chipping etc. Tools Choosing the correct tools to carry out proper installation of the tiles is essential a notched trowel, a rubber mallet for tapping pieces into place and a rubber trowel for grouting. Substrates The substrate (wall or floor) to be tiled must be perfectly level, with no defects in planarity. BS 5385 recommends that local variations in level for a nominally flat floor should be such that, when checked with a 2 m straightedge, any gap under the straightedge between points of contact does not exceed 3 mm. Porcelanosa recommends that damp areas be waterproofed beforehand. The surface to be tiled must be completely free of dust, loose areas, significant cracks or any other substance that could detrimentally affect proper tile adhesion. If falls are required in the finish these should be incorporated in the substrate and not in the bedding system. Substrate drying times Before beginning tiling, it is important to ensure that the background or base has been allowed to cure properly. This effectively means drying out by exposure to air for a minimum period (a summarised list is given below). Substrate Minimum curing period Concrete walls 6 weeks Brick/blockwork walls 6 weeks Rendered walls 2 weeks Rapid drying rendered walls 4 weeks Gypsum plaster walls 4 weeks Concrete base floors 6 weeks Screeded (non-modified) floors 3 weeks May 05 technical and samples hotline t:

Prior to fixing, seal the reverse side and edges of the plywood (WBP or marine grade at minimum 15mm thick) with Butech universal bonding agent. Lay sheets with cross joints staggered at a 0.5-1mm gap between boards. Screw down sheets at 300mm centres ensuring screw heads flush with surface.walls Tongue & Groove floorboards The boards must be dry, securely fixed and rigid without protruding fixings. Boards must be screwed down to the supporting joists at 300mm centres. Seal board surface with two coats of Butech UNIVERSAL BONDING AGENT. Allow each coat to dry. Tiling onto heated screeds Allow a minimum 3 weeks drying time for Portland cement. The screed should be heated at a maximum 50 C per day to 250 C and maintained for 3 days before cooling down to room temperature. The heating system should be turned off 24 hours before tiling, or turned down to below 150 C in cold weather. The floor can be grouted 8 days after tiling and after a further 6 days can be heated up to the operating temperature at a maximum 50 C per day. Tiling to under tile heating system onto cement: sand screeds The base must be sufficiently strong and rigid to support the tile finish and free from contamination.

5 installation 6.1 Backgrounds and bases A cement-sand render or screed substrate is generally recommended for backgrounds and bases in which deviations from a true flat surface are to be expected and which may be too much to accommodate within the thickness of the bedding material. The more accurate surfaces that can be provided by such substrates permit the use of adhesive bedding, which has many advantages over traditional mortar bedding. Mosaics generally require flatness but not a high degree of dimensional accuracy; tiling requires both. The visual success of tiling depends on constant tile and joint sizes.. Although internal wall tiling can be successfully applied to plaster or plasterboard surfaces, cement: sand rendering provides a stronger background and is preferred. For advice on mix proportions and thickness of rendering see BS clause 3.3, BS clause 19 and NBS Section M20. For screeds see BS Appendix C, BS and NBS Sections M10 and M13. Proprietary intermediate substrates tilebacker boards and matting The use of intermediate substrates between backgrounds/bases and tiles is widespread in continental Europe and North America. In recent years products have been introduced in the UK, some of which have British Board of Agrement (BBA) certification. Two basic types of product are available, tilebacker boards and mattings. Tilebacker boards have rigid cores (usually extruded polystyrene, or less frequently, cementitious material) and are faced with mortar/adhesive tolerant material reinforced with glass fibre mesh. All types of board provide a durable, flat and stable backing for tiling and are suitable for fixing boards to walls and floors. Matting made from polyethylene with an underside bonding fleece provides a layer that accommodates background/base movement without affecting tiles and bedding. Installed with sealed joints it can provide a waterproof layer for applications not exposed to constant water pressure. Matting can prepare new concrete or screed bases for tiling once they can accept foot traffic. However, adhesives suitable for bonding matting to green concrete and screed are very limited, with most negating the time saving aspects of the product by requiring curing and drying of the base in accordance with BS Once installed air channels on the underside of the matting allow the base to continue drying. Matting can also be used on timber boarded suspended floors. It is essential to consult the matting and adhesive manufacturers to determine the correct base preparation, adhesive and jointing specification. May 05 technical and samples hotline t:
6 6.1 installation Butech Pro-dilata movement joints technical and samples hotline t: May 05
7 installation 6.1 Movement joints BS clauses 19 and 23.6 give advice on the location and design of movement joints in floors. In brief, joints will normally be positioned in the following locations: Over structural movement joints. Around the perimeter of floors and where floor tiling abuts fixed machinery and structural fixtures such as columns, steps etc. Where tiling abuts other materials. Where tiling is continuous across junctions of different base materials. At 30 m intervals in large floors with stress relieving joints at 10 m intervals or 6 m intervals externally. Over supporting walls and beams. Over structural movement joints Where the base substrate incorporates its own movement joints, structural joints should also be included between tiles, that coincide with the structural joints in the substrate. These joints should extend through the tile thickness, bed and screed (if there is one) through to the substrate. Minimum width should be at least that of the structural joints of the substrate (and at least 6 mm). Structural joints are usually finished by filling them with materials that have long-lasting elasticity (plastic or metal corner beads or profile sections, mastics, exterior fish plates, etc.). Perimeter joints and abutments to walls Perimeter joints should be incorporated at the edges of the horizontal surface to be tiled where it meets with walls, columns, fixed machinery, steps and curbs that may be left untiled. This is to prevent floor tiles and adhesives from coming into contact with these other elements, reducing the possibility of stress from building up. Perimeter joints are also necessary in areas where the ceramic covering is applied to two different adjoining substrates, changes in plane and where tiling abuts other materials. Lack of, or inadequate provision for, perimeter joints is one of the most frequent causes of failure of tiled floor surfaces. Perimeter joints should be continuous and their width should not be less than 6 mm. They can be rendered with a compressible material such as cellular polystyrene or grouted with silicone. They can be hidden by skirting. These joints should reach down to the substrate, except if this is covered with a stable, well-hardened material, such as plaster or gypsum. Intermediate expansion (stress relieving) joints Large areas to be tiled should be subdivided during tile installation into smaller areas delimited by intermediate expansion joints. The maximum recommended surface area to be tiled without intermediate expansion joints is 50 m 2 to 70 m 2 in interior applications (half this surface area for exterior applications), or else a maximum interval of 30 metres. The number of joints should be greater on those surfaces expected to experience significant temperature variations or vibrations. On suspended floors additional joints should be provided over supporting walls and beams. For floors subject to heavy foot traffic or hard-wheeled traffic, the position of joints should try to avoid where this traffic crosses, if possible; if this is not possible, profile sections with edges protected by metal should be specified. These partitions or joints should cut through the ceramic covering, the adhesive and the mortar bedding, and their width should be a minimum of 5 mm. Installation joints This is the gap between all contiguous tiles, either for functional or aesthetic reasons. They are necessary for the following reasons: 1. They can absorb any deformation produced by the substrate. 2. They compensate for slight dimensional deviations in tile manufacture. Note: Joints less than 1.5 mm are not recommended. When tile installation is carried out using spacers (crosspieces) between tiles, enough time should be allowed for the adhesive to set before tiles can be walked on in order to be able to remove these spacers. The next step after this is to grout all joints. Selection of bedding, adhesive and grouting materials Choice of bedding system will depend on the following factors: 1. Location e.g. interior or exterior; wall or floor. 2. The proposed use of the finished area, e.g. wet or dry; domestic, commercial or industrial. 3. The type of background or base e.g. rendered, plasterboarded, screeded. 4. The type of tile selected, e.g. high or low water absorption. Porcelanosa recommends: Butech May 05 technical and samples hotline t:
8 6.1 installation Tiling walls setting out As a general rule, tiling should be set out from the centre of the wall. This means there are two options: 1. either the centre of the tile in the centre of the wall, or 2. the centre joint between the two tiles positioned either side of the centre line. Starting tiling To spread the adhesive, hold your trowel at a 45 angle. Apply the adhesive to form straight ribs. Apply an area of adhesive to cover several tiles but no more than you will be able to tile within 20 minutes. Press the tiles firmly and evenly into the adhesive using a twisting/ sliding action ensuring that the adhesive forms a strong bond to the back of the tile. A measuring gauge will help you plan the position of your tiles. To make the measuring gauge, take a length of timber and mark the width of your tiles including the spacers along it. Check each option to see which gives the most advantageous cuts to the ends at each side of the wall, the window and the border design. Fixing battens will help you to keep the tiling straight. Find the lowest point you are tiling to, e.g. a skirting board, position the nearest full tile at this point, mark above the tile and, using a spirit level, draw a level line. Nail a batten to the wall below the line to work to. Ensure that the batten is level because your first row of tiles will rest on it. Draw your centre line as a start point with the help of a spirit level to check the vertical line is straight. Either fix a vertical batten as a guide or use your pencil line to tile up to. Start your tiling where the two vertical and horizontal lines meet, in the centre point chosen on your wall. Place a spacer between each tile, this allows an even gap for the grout to be applied later. Work sideways and upwards to complete fixing all the whole tiles. Whilst tiling, check with a spirit level that the tile surface is flat. Clean off any surplus adhesive which has formed on the surface of the tile with a damp sponge and remove any surplus from the grout joints. If the adhesive forms a skin before you have managed to place a tile, take off the adhesive and replace with new. Remove any guide battens and spacers carefully after 12 hours. Use a tile trim to give a neat finish at tile edges and corners. Tile trim is available in various thicknesses and is bedded into the tile adhesive. Cutting tiles You are now ready to tile the areas requiring cut tiles. To cut a tile, mark the front of the tile and score the glazed side of the tile to break the glaze, using a tile scriber and a rule or use a thin rail cutter. Tile nippers, and saws can be used to cut corners or curves out of tiles. technical and samples hotline t: May 05
9 installation 6.1 Floor tiling BS deals with the laying of ceramic tiles and mosaics, bedded on concrete, cement: sand screeds, timber, asphalt and existing floor finishes. Table 3 of the standard gives a summary of recommended bedding techniques for different base and traffic conditions. Please check with Porcelanosa before final selection of bedding material. Also refer to BS for floor tiling in specific conditions (e.g. wet, sterile, chemical attack). Grouting Before grouting, ensure that the joints (between tile and tile) are empty and free of bonding materials and traces of dirt and grime. Joints should be grouted once tiles are fully bonded to the substrate, after the time necessary for this to happen has elapsed (before grouting, the adhesive used for installing tiles should already be dry, to avoid efflorescence forming, which will have a negative effect on the appearance of joints). Installation The installation of ceramic tiles using the traditional thick-bed method with mortars remains popular throughout Europe, mainly down to traditional customs and habits. However, this system does not always offer the necessary quality guarantees. The recent use of special adhesives has stimulated a gradual shift to the thin-bed installation method, which offers clear advantages over the thick-bed method, particularly where adherence and durability are concerned. Adherence the strength of the bond between the ceramic piece and the substrate plays an extremely important role in the quality of tiled walls and floors. Proper adherence should ensure that pieces are firmly attached to the substrate. Durability entails the maintenance of proper adherence over time. The thin-bed installation method must be used, with a flexible adhesive. The use of cement glue will prevent the many problems that may arise using thick-bed installation with traditional mortar. When porcelain tiles are being installed, bonding materials specifically designed for use with this material should be used. The use of proper wedges and spacers will ensure proper piece alignment. The grouting material should be applied with a rubber trowel. Grouting materials may be coloured using the proper pigments, so as to achieve a uniformity in colour of the tiled surface. Removing excess grouting material should be performed using a sponge dampened in water. This operation should be done in timely fashion, since if the grouting material is left on the glazed surface of tiles for too long, this could cause removal isses. The use of cleaning agents that contain hydrofluoric acid (HF) should be avoided. It is absolutely necessary that finished ceramic tile installations be protected with the proper means so as to prevent possible damages until the building project is complete, given the high likelihood that abrasive materials will be present and tools will constantly be moved back and forth, and the subsequent risk that this implies. Surface treatments BS 5385 recommends in general that surface treatment should be avoided. BS 5385 recognises that proprietary temporary sealers facilitate cleaning off ceramic tiles after laying and grouting. These sealers can be readily removed, but must be used in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. The application of any sealant, is likely to reduce slip resistance.
