INSTALLATION

Surface Preparation

All surfaces should be between 4º C to 35º C and structurally sound, clean and free of all dirt, oil, grease, loose peeling paint, laitance, concrete sealers or curing compounds. Rough or uneven concrete surfaces should be made smooth with LATICRETE® Latex Portland Cement underlayment to provide a wood float (or better) finish. Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened and excess water swept off. Installation may be made on a damp surface. All slabs must be plumb and true to within 6mm in 3m. Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work from all construction or expansion joints in the substrate. Follow ANSI Specification AN-3.8 ”Requirements for Expansion Joints” or TCA Details EJ171 “Expansion Joints”. Do not cover expansion joints with mortars. Cement Backer Board; follow TCA installation detail W244.

Mixing

Place clean potable water into a clean pail, Add 315 powder. Use approximately 4.2 – 4.6 Liters of water for 20 Kg bag of powder. Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth, trowelable consistency. Allow mortar to slake for 5 –10 minutes. Adjust consistency if necessary. Remix and apply with the proper sized notched trowel.

Application

Apply mortar to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, pressing firmly to work into surface. Comb on additional mortar with the notched side.

Note: Use the proper sized notched trowel to insure full bedding of the tile. Spread as much mortar as can be covered with tile in 15-20 minutes. Back butter large tiles (>20x20cm) to provide full bedding and firm support. Place tiles into wet, sticky mortar and beat in using a beating block and rubber mallet to imbed tile and adjust level. Check mortar for complete coverage by periodically removing a tile and inspecting bedding mortar transfer onto back of tile. If Mortar is skinned over (not sticky), remove and replace with fresh mortar.

Cleaning

Clean tools and tile work with water while mortar is fresh.
