PROTECTION AND CURING

• Provide for dry, heated storage on site and deliver

materials at least 24 hours before work begins.

• Protect from rain, snow, freezing and direct solar heat,

which will cause curing and performance deficiencies.

• Because temperature and humidity (during and after

installation of tile) affect the final curing time, allow for

extended periods of cure and protection when jobsite

temperatures drop below 60°F (16°C) and/or when

relative humidity is higher than 70%.

• Allow the mortar to fully cure before installing tile.

• If the installation will be covered with a non-breathable

membrane or if a moisture-sensitive stone is the finish,

allow an extended period of curing before applying the

membrane.

• Protect floor from foot traffic for 16 hours and from heavy

traffic for 72 hours.
