Construction Techniques

Preparation and tools: Check the back of ceramic tiles, and clean any release agents and impurities. The application tools mainly include mechanical agitator, mixing barrel, measuring cup, notched trowel, putty knife, rubber hammer, horizontal ruler, tape measure, ink box or laser level, ceramic tile cutter, sponge, cross rubber particles, etc.

Substrate treatment:The substrate must be flat and true, clean, and free of oil, grease, wax stains, concrete curing agent or any loose materials. The flatness deviation of the substrate should be less than 3mm/2m.

Preparation of the tile adhesive:Volume of water is given in Certificate.   Add water to the mixing bucket, and then slowly add the powders while mixing with mechanical agitator until a homogeneous paste without lumps is obtained. Wait 3 to 5 minutes prior to mixing again for 15-30 seconds. Finally, it is ready for use. The mixed adhesive should be used up in 2 hours.

Tiles paving:Apply forcefully a thin layer of the tile adhesive on the surface of substrate with spatula to enhance the bonding strength between the adhesive and substrate. And then apply a thick layer, and process the adhesive layer with notched trowel. Make sure that each coating area is not more than 1 square meter. Then press the tiles on the processed adhesive layer before drying. Under unfavorable weather condition (such as high temperature and wind) or for high water-absorbing substrate, tiles paving should be done as soon as possible. Before tiles paving, touch the adhesive layer with your fingers to check whether it is dried. If it is not dried yet, tiles paving can be conducted. Otherwise, adhesive layer should be applied again. The depth of the spatula tooth should be considered according to the flatness of the working surface and the concavity of the back surface of the tile.
If the groove at the back surface of tile is very deep, or the dimension of the tile is more than or equal to 300 * 300 mm, combined application methods should be used, i.e. applying a layer of adhesive both on the surface of the substrate and on the back surface of the tile, and then pasting the tiles over the processed adhesive layer. And then give an appropriate kneading and pressing on the tile.
