compensate for the major irregularities on the masonry surfaces into a thickness
of not less than 6mm at any point.

c. Surfaces shall be sufficiently rough to provide good mechanical key, dash on the
first coat with a whisk broom or fiber brush using a strong whipping motion. Do not
trowel or otherwise disturb mortar applied by dashing after it has hardened.

TILE INSTALLATION ON MORTAR BED

a. Before application of mortar bed, dampen the surface of the scratch coat evenly to
obtain uniform suction.

b. Use temporary or spot grounds to control the thickness of the mortar bed. Fill out
the mortar bed even with the ground and rod it to a true plane.

c. Apply the mortar bed over an area no greater than to be covered with tile while the
coat is still plastic.

d. No single application of mortar more than 19mm (3/4”) thick shall be allowed.

e. Completely immerse wall tile in clean water and soak it at least ½ hour. After
removal, stack tile on edge long enough to drain off excess water. Re-soak and

drain individual tiles that dry along edges. Allow no free moisture to remain on the
back of tile during setting.

f. Apply a substantial amount of bond coat to the plastic setting bed or at the back of
each sheet of tile.

g. Press tile firmly into the bed into place and should remain undisturbed within one
(1) hour.

h. Within 1 hour after installation of tile, remove strings from string-set tile and wet the
faces of face-mounted tile and remove the paper and glue. Avoid using excess
water. Adjust any tile that is out of alignment.

GROUTING

a. After tile has sufficiently set, apply substantial amount of grout into joints by trowel,
brush or finger application.

b. Before grout sets, strike or tool the joints of cushion edged tile to the depth of the
cushion.

c. Fill all joints of square-edged tile flush with the surface of the tile. Fill all gaps or
sips.

d. During grouting clean all excess grout off with clean burlap, other cloths or
sponges.

CLEANING
