| Tile-Fixing Instructions |
|
1. |
Plaster the surface of the floor to be tiled, with smooth finish and complete the plastering and curing at least two weeks prior to tiling. |
|
| 2. |
Before fixing Marbonite tiles, lay them out in the desired pattern and make sue that they give an acceptable blend of colour. Please note that certain amount of shade variation is inherent in the manufacture of a fully vitrified ceramic tile. THE COMPANY WILL BEAR NO LIABILITY AFTER THE TILES ARE FIXED . |
| 3. |
For fixing floor tiles, we recommend the use of BAL–ENDURA tile fixing adhesives. For best results, follow the instruction provided along with the adhesives. |
| 4. |
For fixing Marbonite tiles on the floor, using sand and cement, follow the instructions given below:- |
| |
|
| a. |
Use cement and sand mortar in the ratio of 1:4 Add some water to create a consistent paste. |
| b. |
Once the mixing has completed do not add any further water and use the same within one hour. |
| c. |
Apply a 20-30 mm. layer of bedding material over an area of 1 Square meter at a time on the surface of the area. Apply a fine slurry to the back of the tile to ensure proper and full bedding. Press gently for even adherence at the back of the tile. DO NOT USE AN IRON HAMMER OR SOME HEAVY MATERIAL TO PRESS THE TILE. |

For fixing the Marbonite tile on Dado, we recommend the use of adhesive. Please follow the manufacture's instructions for the same. We do not recommend the use of sand and cement for fixing on Dado. |

6. |
Mark and lay out the tiles from the center of the area to be tiled so that cut tiles, if any will be on the outer edges towards the walls. |
|
| |
7. |
The Work size which we try to maintain for better technical performance is + 2 mm on an average. It is advisable to maintain a gap of 1-2mm between every two tiles to allow for possible expansion as per BIS/EN tolerance norms. This would give the coverage area as mentioned in the carton. |
|
| |
8. |
Complete the tile laying process by pressing the cut Marbonite firmly into place along the walls / floors. |
|
| |
9. |
Allow 3-4 days for bed curing. After this period fill the joints with grouts. |

15 minutes after finishing the grouting process, wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge and polish the tiles with a soft and dry cloth for a clean surface. The tiles can also be cleaned by mild acid (however Hydrofluoric acid and its derivatives should not be used). |
