POLISHED MARBLE MOSAIC FLOOR TILE FIXING INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.    Prepare

Ensure that the surface is sound, dry, flat and free from dirt grease or flaking.  Seal new plaster with a suitable primer.

2.    Plan

Arrange mosaics in the desired layout before fixing.  Mix the contents of two or three packs of mosaics to achieve an acceptable blend of colour and shade.  For external edges, an edging strip is available.

3.    Fixing

Use a notched spreader to apply an even 3mm thick layer of adhesive, where the first two sheets in the bottom row will go.
Starting at the centre of the room and working outwards, spread the floor tile adhesive, working on one square metre at a time. Bed tiles into the adhesive so no air is trapped underneath. Ensure gap between tiles is same as gap between the individual mosaics and the first tile is perfectly square before proceeding. Use scissors to cut the web backing.

4.    Sealing

Thoroughly clean and dry the tiles and then apply impregnator/sealer before grouting.  Following the sealer manufacturer's instructions.

5.    Cutting

Mosaics can be cut to size using a wet or dry tile cutter but should not be necessary.

6.    Grouting

Allow 12 hours for the tile adhesive to set before grouting.  Use a suitable spreader to apply the grout. Clean the surface with a damp sponge as you go. Allow to dry before applying a second coat of sealer.  Always follow the grout manufacturer's instructions. Use a grout finisher to obtain a professional result.  Use a suitable spreader to apply the grout. Clean the surface with a damp sponge as you go. Polish off powdery residue with a dry cloth.
