TRAVERTINE WALL TILE FIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare
The surface to be tiled should be as flat as possible, fill cracks and when dry, sand smooth. Remove any wallpaper to leave a clean dry surface. Seal new plaster with a suitable primer.2. Plan
Arrange tiles in the desired layout before fixing. Mix the contents of two or three packs of tiles to achieve an acceptable blend of colour and shade.3. Fixing
Using an adhesive trowel, apply the tile adhesive, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that the adhesive does not come into contact with the face of the tile. Spread adhesive onto the wall or existing tiles using a notched spreader. Place the first tile on a straight line. A spirit level will help.
Put tile spacers in between the tiles. A 6mm grout joint is recommended.
4. Sealing
Remove excess adhesive. Thoroughly clean and dry the tiles and then apply impregnator/sealer before grouting. Following the sealer manufacturers instructions. Clean and dry thoroughly before applying sealer.
5. Cutting
Natural tiles are very hard materials which we recommend cutting with a wet, diamond wheel cutter.
6. Grouting
Allow 12 hours for the tile adhesive to set before grouting. Grout the tiles taking care to ensure excess grout is removed from the surface. Clean off excess grout thoroughly with a damp sponge and dry before applying second coat of sealer.
