1. Method for Tiling at Wall:

Before start of tiling works make sure that ceramic tiles type & color, mortar
mix, glue, grout, shop drawings and method of application are acceptable to the
consultant or any other approving authority. After that make sure materials that
are available are from approved manufacturers and in original packing. This will
ensure that no counterfeit material is used at project site.

Before bulk installation works mock up approval is important that is normal


process for smooth site construction activities. Mock up shall be raised for the
inspection and approval from consultant or contractor as applicable. Approved
mock up and sample shall available at site and the materials delivered to site
shall be checked with respect to the approved sample.

Pre Requisite for Tiling Work at Wall:

 Ensure the MEP clearance obtained and all other under laying installation are
approved prior to start of tiling work.
 Working are to be restricted for unauthorized entry.
 The surface to which tiles are to be fixed shall be thoroughly dry before
fixing commences and free from all defects.
 The areas to be tiled shall be brushed clean and all traces of grease, oil,
loose particle etc. must be removed.
 Ensure that the laying tiles shall be as per the direction and pattern agreed
with the consultant.
 Before laying tiles obtain approval of setting out by consultant. Provide
symmetry about center lines of the space or areas and adjust to minimize
tile cutting.
 Lay out tile work so that tiles less than ½ full size do not occur and with
minimum of cutting, Carefully grind edges of cut tile. Ensure cut tiles are in
corners and are equal on each wall face.
 Tile layout on floors / wall shall follow the layout on floors / wall as per
approved shop drawings.
 For concrete block walls and concrete walls to be finished with tile, apply a
leveling coat of plaster minimum 12mm thick, sufficient to cover the
unevenness of the substrate and to make walls true vertical.
 Plaster shall be finished rough in orders to have a strong key for tilling works.
 Plaster curing period shall be completed before start of tiling work.
 To ensure rows of tiles are truly horizontal, a level line shall be established to
position the starting course.
 Tiles of specified and approved sizes shall be fixed to wall surfaces by
approved adhesive.
 Mixing of adhesive shall be strictly followed in accordance with
manufacturer’s recommendations.
 Mortar shall be used within 2 hours of mixing at normal temperatures or
within the pot life of the mix whichever is achieved earlier.
 Material shall not be used after initial set has taken place.

Thin Bed Adhesive-Walls: Apply floated coat of adhesive to dry background


in areas of approximately 1 M 2 and comb the surface with the recommended
solid bed trowel. Apply thin even coat of adhesive to backs of dry tiles. Press
tiles onto bedding with twisting/sliding action to give finished bed thickness of
not more that 3mm.

Thick Bed Adhesive-Walls: Apply floated coat of adhesive to dry background


and comb the surface with the recommended solid bed towel. Fill any keys and
apply thin even coat of adhesive over the entire back of each tile. Press tiles
onto bedding with twisting/sliding action to give finished bed thickness within
the range recommended by the manufacturer.
 Tamp the tile with rubber mallet to obtain required adhesion and level.
 Tiles shall be laid with required spacing and spacers shall be used to align
horizontal and vertical joints.
 Lay tile to pattern in accordance with Shop Drawings. Verify pattern is
uninterrupted through openings.
 Establish lines of borders where applicable.
 Excessive mix/adhesive shall remove with a damp cloth before the material
has set.
 The vertical joints shall be maintained plumb for the entire true level and
plane by uniformly applied pressure.
 Joints in glazed wall tiles and fittings, after edges of tiles have been
thoroughly wet (After 48 hours later) it shall be grouted with neat white or
colored approved grout.
 Grout shall be applied to the spaces between the tiles using sponge or a
small piece of the soft cloth.
 Ensure that joints are 6 mm deep (or the depth of the tile if less), and are
free from dust and debris.
 Force grout and fill joints completely to entire depth, tool to an approved
profile, clean off surface and leave free from blemishes.
 Rub wall tilling with a dry cloth when joints are hard.
 Keep expansion/contraction and control joints free of mortar or grout.
 Control Joints: Provide Control joints 6mm minimum width in large tile
areas at a maximum of 4.5m in each direction and at the perimeter walls. Do
not saw-cut joints after installing tiles.
 Movement joints shall be located as required and be carried through backing
to the structural wall, partially fill with strip and finish flush with sealant to
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
 Tiling shall be protected from heat and inclement weather until jointing has
completely set.

1. Preparation Ceramica Tile:

A. Sand Bed under Floor Tiles, thickness should be maintained as necessary to


obtain finish floor levels indicated on Approved Shop Drawings and Ceramic Tile
Designs.
B. Manual spreading and compaction to obtain uniform depth and distribution.
Remove stones and foreign materials.
C. Reinforcement for separation between dissimilar background must be
applied:
Metal lathe 200 mm width & corner bead as specified and required.
D. Background to receive wall tiles on vertical surfaces to finished with ceramic
wall tiles are to be coated with dash coat to be wet cured for a minimum of 2
days prior to setting of tiles.
E. Lightly Rinse with water prior to setting tiles.
F. Perform cutting and drilling of tile without marring visible surfaces.
G. Fit tile to electrical outlet, piping, fixtures and other penetration as shown in
the shop drawing.
H. Ceramic tiles are to be soak in water for one hour prior to setting in place.

2. Ceramic Tile walls Installation.

A. Wall tiles are to set with thick wet mortar bedding on walls prepared. Mortar
mix 1:4 (1part Portland cement and 4 part sand) Thickness of beddings shall
range between (15-20mm). Tiles are to be beaten and set firmly in place to
ensure full contact between tile back and bedding in full area of tile.
B. Install tile on wall with 3mm paver tile.
C. In wet area; install ready skirting with continuous joint on the applied floor.
D. Comply prior to installing skirting with the preparation.
E. Maintain surfaces to receive skirting to have zero joint between surface of
plaster and backside of skirting.

3. Grouting

A. Clean joint by brush to ensure that thickness of tile is clear and free of foreign
material.
B. Add 5 kg of jitotile grout to 1.8 liter of water and mix until thick creamy paste is
produced; allow to stand for 10 minutes.
C. Apply jitotile grout to the joint spaces between tiles using a sponge or soft cloth.
Work the mixture into the joints grouting the ceramics tile thickness and around
the edges.
D. Remove surplus from the face of the tiles with dry cloth and run the tip as a
gloves finger or a rounded piece of wood along the grouting.
E. When the grout is dry, clean the tiles with a damp sponge.

4. Cleaning and Protecting

A. On completion of placement and grouting, clean all ceramic tile surfaces.


Remove cement grout residue from tile as soon as possible.
B. Leave finished installation clean and free of cracked, chipped, broken,
unbonded
and otherwise defective tile work.
C. Prohibit foot and wheel traffic from tiles floors at least 7 days after grouting is
completed.
D. Provide fixed protection or other heavy covering during construction period
to
prevent staining, damage and wear.
