How to install

1. PREPARATION

- Make sure that surface is dry, clean, flat and firm. Do not tile on old floor coverings like vinyl tiles.
- Check screen, substrate and foundation are set for tiling.
- Make sure there are expansion joints in the screed.

2. TILE PURCHASING

- Buy enough tiles to cover the required area – get 10% more to allow for cutting and breakages.
- Make sure all the boxes have the same shade number, and that all the tiles, are the same colour, size and are clear of defects.
-Tip: Mix 4-5 boxes prior to laying to minimize any possible shade variation.

3. BEGIN TILING

- Start tiling in the middle of the area.
- Make sure you’re using the correct adhesive for the application.
- Check screen, substrate and foundation are set for tiling.
- Apply adhesive evenly using a notched trowel. ( Apply 1m² at a time)
- Only mix enough adhesive to use within 1 hour.
- Work over small areas so the adhesive does not dry.
- Scrape away excess adhesive, separating each tile from the next.
- All tiles must be fully embedded using a rubber mallet.

4. CORRECT SPACING

- Start off by creating building lines in your work space. This will allow you to achieve straight lines.
- Do not butt join tiles. Please use recommended spacing on box or in the product details. For Kilimanjaro tiles please use a minimum tile spacing of 5mm and above.
- When tiling large areas. Create expansion joints to allow for structural movement.
- This is done by using a flexible compound (such as silicone) between tiles.
- Expansion joints should be made every 9m².
- The perimeter joint needs to be 5-8mm.

5. GROUTING

- Make sure all the joints are clean.
- Apply the grout using a rubber squeegee.
- Grouting should be done 24 hours after the installation of the tiles to allow, the tile to set properly.
- Once the grout has set the entire area must be cleaned,
- With a damp cloth, Grout Off and Easy Clean, Cleaning agents are recommended.
- Avoid walking on the tiles for 2-3 days to prevent loosening of the tiles.
