For more detailed technical information, refer to British Standard BS 5385 Wall and Floor Tiling. Important Notes: Prior to installation please ensure the tiles purchased are suitable for the application. All tiles must be thoroughly inspected prior to installation. Ensure your tiler is aware of the expected finish of the tiles and there are sufficient tiles for the area. The tiles must be well shuffled by drawing tiles from all the boxes. Dry lay an area in suitable light as a final check before installation. No complaints regarding the appearance of the product will be accepted by the company once the tiles have been installed. For further information or if any doubt exists, please telephone our Technical Department for advice prior to commencing any tiling. Fired Earth have tested our range of adhesives, grouts and sealants to ensure compatibility with all our tiles (see our Product Selector on page 18-23). Read the instructions on the packaging of Adhesives, Grouts and Sealants very carefully. Keep everything meticulously clean and orderly as work progresses. Substrates If your tiling is to last, the surface onto which the laid is sound. Careful consideration given to the floor surface to confirm the surface is level, clean, dry, free of dust, grease and any loose material. Your tiler must confirm the suitability of the subfloor before tiling. Sand and cement screeds When tiling onto a new screed, a minimum period of one week for each 25mm of new screed should elapse to allow the screed to be suitably dry. Further time may be necessary, depending on weather and site conditions. We do not recommend tiling onto anhydrite or fast setting screeds without careful consideration - please contact our Technical Department for further advice. A new screed may shrink as it dries, and this may result in cracks across the screed. If cracking does occur it is likely to appear across any tiles that are fixed to the screed. Ensure that the screed is suitably dry and stable before any tiling is started. Any movement or day joints in the screed must be carried through into the tiled surface. Day joints or construction joints must not be tiled over without the inclusion of an expansion joint. Bumps and hollows in screeded floors Minor irregularities can be overcome up to 5mm of Fired Earth Universal Levelling Compound* or Fired Earth Thick Bed Adhesive*. If the floor is very uneven, with undulations of more than 5mm, Fired Earth Universal Levelling Compound* should be used in conjunction with clean granite chippings. Suspended timber floors/ Floating insulated floors Suspended timber floors/floating insulated floors (polystyrene with water resistant chip board over) should be rigid, non-flexing and stable enough to bear the additional load. In order to minimise the damaging effect of lateral movement in the floor surface, it is recommended that the floor is prepared using Fired Earth Fleximat* . Our Sales Team will be happy to provide our separate information sheet. If the suspended timber floor is subject to vertical movement, the floor must be stiffened. Remove flexing by fixing a minimum 18mm, WBP plywood over the existing timber, screwed down at 150mm centres. If the floating insulted floor is subject to vertical movement the floor must be braced by screwing and gluing WPB plywood to its surface, or removing some of the...
