VII.02 EXECUTION

A. Application of scratch coat.

1. Thoroughly dampen, but not saturate, surface of masonry or concrete walls before
applying the scratch coat. Make surface areas appear slightly damp. Allow no free
water on the surface.

2. On masonry, first apply thin coat with great pressure, then bring it sufficiently to
compensate for the major irregularities on masonry surfaces to thickness of not less
than 6mm at any point.

3. Evenly rake scratch coats, but not dash coats, to provide good mechanical key for
subsequent coats before the mortar has fully hardened.

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

5. Finish Applications
a. Concrete surfaces shall be clean, free from dust, grease and other foreign
matter before a coat of plaster bond is applied.

b. Provide 1 inch Minimum and 2 inch maximum mortar

c. Lay tiles slabs at desired levels

B. Floor tiles installation on mortar bed.

1. Before spreading the setting bed, establish lines of borders and center the field work
in both directions to permit the pattern to be laid with a minimum of cut tiles.

2. Clean concrete sub-floor then moisten but no soak. Afterwards sprinkle dry cement
over the surface and spread the mortar on the setting bed.

3. Mix mortar 1 part Portland cement to 3 parts sand. Tamp to assure good bond over
the entire area and screwed to provide a smooth and level bed at proper height and
slope.

4. Pitch floor to drains as required.

5. After setting bed has set sufficient to be worked over sprinkle dry cement over
surface and lay tiles.

6. Keep joints parallel and straight over the entire area by using straight edges.
7. Tamp the tile solidly onto the bed, using wood blocks of size to ensure solid bedding
free from depressions.

8. Lay tiles from center lines outward and make adjustments at walls.

9. Full face of tile to be buttered before setting in place.

C. WALL TILE INSTALLATION ON MORTAR BED

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

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

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

4. Allow no single application of mortar to be 20mm (3/4”) thick.

5. Completely immerse wall tile in clean water and soak it at least 1/2 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.

6. Apply a bond coat .75mm to 1.5mm thick to the plastic setting bed or to back of
each tile.

7. Pressed tile firmly into the bed and beat into place within 1 hour.

8. Lay tile fields in rectangular blocks areas not exceeding 400mmx600mm (16 x
16inches). Cut the setting bed through its entire depth along the edges of each block
area after placement and before subsequent blocks are installed.

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

10. Full face of tile to buttered before setting in place.

D. TILE INSTALLATION OF EDGES

 All intersections and return shall be perfectly formed. All cuttings and drillings
shall be neatly done marring the tile. The cut edges of the tile against any trim, finish,
built-in fixtures, etc. shall be carefully grounded and jointed.

Around electrical outlets, plumbing pipes, or fixtures and fittings, tile shall be
fitted close so that plates, collars or covering will overlap the tile. No split tile will be
permitted, except in those locations where pipes or trim make cutting necessary.

E. ACCESSORIES

Unless otherwise definitely indicated in details, accessories shall be located in

consultation with the Architect. Fixtures shall be set flush with face of tile, true to plumb neatly
and symmetrically spaced as regards to plumbing fixtures, corners or rooms, trim and tile joint.
Whenever plumbing fixtures are encountered, accessories shall be spaced in regard to the
center of the fixtures. Secure accessories firmly in the wall with plaster of Paris and grout or
point joint around the same.

F. GROUTING

1. After the tile has sufficiently set, force a maximum of grout into joints by trowel,
brush or finger application.

2. Grouting, cleaning, and installation shall be done in one continuous constructive

operation. Grouting for all joints 1/8 inch or smaller in width, shall be approved
component epoxy resin compound or Portland Cement of specified color if so
directed by the Architect. The cement grout shall be mixed with clean fresh water
to the consistency of thick cream.

3. Wet area to kill the suction of the concrete. Apply the ABC Adhesive using a
notched trowel to the surface.

Area could be opened after two (2) days.

with damp cloth or sponges and polish clean with dry cloth. All traces of cement or
solutions are required to clean the face of the finish tilework of surplus grout or mortar
used for pointing, all exposed hardware shall first be covered by having coating of
