IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAYING THE TILE
Do not soak the tiles in water like other ordinary Press Tiles.
Make proper slope by using bed-mortar and pour cement slurry on it.
Make key over slurry for grip and place the Tile properly.
The spacer should be used for fixing the tiles neatly.
Never tap the tiles with an iron hammer. Never rub the tiles with nails, iron rods, putty blade or wire brush.
Press the four ends of the tile is enough for proper fixing. If needed, use the Rubber Hammer gently
Fix the tiles row by row from the parapet wall and come reverse.
Do not use the tile as a Stepping Stone on the mortar. Perhaps if you did so, do not use those tiles for laying.
Don’t walk or put heavy objects over the laid tiles on the same day.
After fixing one row, clean the tiles with a wet sponge to avoid stains.
Use Tec Tile 12 Cool for filling the joints.
While fixing the Skirting Tile, use only Tec Bond 25 adhesive.
Curing can be done on the third day.
If it rains before filling the joints, please fill the joints after two days. During that time, avoid walking on the tiles.
For cleaning the tile surface, always use acid-less soap water with a sponge.
