Tips for laying

Cross-mixing is necessary to receive a harmonious play of colours. Please take the tiles out of different boxes during laying, alternating between all boxes.

Border tiles and ornamented tiles should get installed with offset joints, thus the appearance of the joints is more lively and the surface gets structured horizontally. Ornamentations, colours, and glaze-effects are fully displayed.

All tiling work must only be carried out by a qualified specialist. We cannot accept any liability for damages due to incorrect installation.

Laying

For laying we recommend a flexible adhessive according to DIN EN 12004 class C2T. The joints should be at least 2mm wide. We recommend to use a neutral colour for the joints. When using heavily pigmented grout and the tiles have a strong craquelé it is possible that colour pigments settle in the craquelé. The effect should be tested on a trial tile before the jointing. In order to avoid the absorption, it is advisable to impregnate the tiles with FILA MP/90 before jointing. To achieve a good final result it is advisable to also impregnate the joints.

For detailed information on adhessives and grout we like to refer to the specifications of the respective manufacturer. As laying is often made with different tiles that were produced with different methods (dry pressing, wet pressing, extrusion moulding etc.), we recommend that laying is carried out by a qualified specialist who has the expertise to level out the caliber differences that are typicall for non-industrial tile manufacturing.
