RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION<br />
SELECTION OF THE INSTALLATION SYSTEM AND THE BONDING MATERIAL:<br />
In order to select the proper installation system and bonding material, the following tables must be consulted:<br />
TABLE “A” - POROUS TILES<br />
TABLE “B” - GLAZED STONEWARE TILES<br />
TABLE “C” - PORCELAIN TILES<br />
For each type of tile, these tables list the following data:<br />
- The surface to be tiled.<br />
- Tile size, whether it is larger or smaller than 35 x 35 cm.<br />
- Substrate type: floor or wall, in interior or exterior.<br />
These tables will enable us to determine the following:<br />
- The best suited installation system. If the thick-bed system proves suitable, then the thin-bed system may also be used; but the opposite is not the<br />
case.<br />
- The type(s) of recommended bonding materials.<br />

(1) Thick-bed installation not suitable. As an alternative, lay a cement mortar base and install using the Thin-bed method (consult SURFACE TO BE TILED: Cement<br />
mortar base).<br />
(2) Wall tiles size incompatible with surface to be tiled. Reduce tile size (< 35 x 35 cm).<br />
(5) The floating and buttering method is recommended.<br />
(6) Apply a waterproofing primer first (In the case of using type C adhesives).<br />
(9) With tiles larger than 60 x 40 cm or equivalent surfaces and/or 40 kg/m2, use mechanical fastening elements.<br />
OBSERVATION:<br />
Cement-based adhesives, type C: The table indicates an enough type adhesive, but it can also be choosed a stronger one. For example, if the table indicates C0 as right<br />
one, the C1 and C2 types are also adecuated.
