5 Substrates If your tiling is to last, it is essential that the surface onto which the tiles are to be laid is sound. Careful consideration must be given to the floor surface to confirm that the surface is level, clean, dry , free of dust, grease and any loose material.
Step 4. When tiling commences you should start at point ‘X’, so check that the lines you have marked make a perfect right angle and the side line runs parallel to the centre line. Grout joints The width of grout joints will vary between 3–12mm. Large joints will be necessary on rustic tiles such as terracotta and slate.
9 8 Cutting Due to the thickness and make-up of the majority of Fired Earth floor tiles, it is recommended that either a diamond cutter or an angle grinder is used to cut the tiles. Water cooled diamond cutters are available from tool hire shops. Please wear suitable protective eyewear and protective clothing when cutting tiles.
Grouting Grouting refers to the process of filling the spaces between the individual tiles and thus completing the floor surface. Before grouting can commence, the adhesive used must have cured, which usually takes between 12–24 hours for Fired Earth Floor Adhesive* and 3 hours for Fired Earth Fastset Adhesive*.
