bulletDate -- 01/08/07                                        Good Tiling Practice

Prime all porous surfaces this stops the adhesive drying to quickly and gives you a clean dust free surface to adhere to. All primers are to be brushed or broom applied only, as this gives better penetration of the primer.

 Occasionally remove a tile to check that you are getting acceptable coverage. Do not leave crosses in floor and wall tiles as this leaves no room for movement.  Movement Joints should be placed around the perimeter and at 4.5 mtr spacing and around any posts or protrusions through the tiles. These movement joints are to be filled with a flexible sealant.

Alert:  Wax Residue on Porcelain Tiles                                                                                     Some porcelain tiles have a wax residue on the face of the tile and as such must be removed prior to grouting, as we believe this is causing some grout discolouration.
