Installation
Laying the tiles
Warning: Be careful while applying the adhesive on the membrane not to damage the heating cable
with the flat/notched trowel.
Tiles can be immediately laid after the installation
of the heating cables is completed. Using the
flat side of the trowel fill with Unmodified thin set
mortar (ANSI A118.1) the cavities of the
membrane. Apply additional of the same mortar
with a notched trowel over according to the
tile size.
Apply the thin set to the back of the tiles with
a notched trowel and lay them on the layer of
thin set previously applied. Occasionally remove
and check some tiles, to ensure full back
coverage.
After laying the tiles, repeat all previous tests and
record the values obtained in the “Test Log”
(page 22).
Carefully lay the tiles and press them on the
layer of thin set. If a layer of skin has formed on
the thin set, remove and apply again.
Warning:
Full back coverage may vary depending on
the consistency of the adhesive, the angle
of inclination of the notched trowel and the
flatness of the substrate. If full back coverage
is not achieved, remove the tile and apply new
adhesive paying attention to the consistency
of the Thin set and its application. In case
of large format tiles 12” x 12” and larger is
recommended to double spread each tile before
laying them.
