4.1 Material approval for tiles, cement mortar, grouting mortar shall be obtained
from QP prior to commencement of work. Approval shall be taken form QP
for the tiling pattern.

4.2 Each area to be tiled shall be set out to establish correct datum level and
“spot” levels in each area shall control levels.

4.3 Gauge rods indicating the overall measurements of 10 tiles and joints shall
be prepared and used to set out the tiling to ensure that cut tiles are kept
minimum.

4.4 Setting out shall be agreed with the QP engineer before actual tile lying is
commenced.

4.5 Floor tiles shall be laid in cement and sand bedding (1:3) of thickness
minimum 15 mm and maximum 20 mm thick. Tiles less than 10 mm thick
shall be laid in bedding not exceeding 15 mm thick.

4.7 The bedding shall be roughly leveled and compacted and the surface dusted
with dry cement powder. Cement powder shall be lightly trowelled in until it
becomes damp. Alternatively the back of tiles shall be coated with neat
cement and water slurry applied immediately before laying in position.

4.8 The tiles shall be soaked in clean water for 15-30 minutes before fixing and
allowed to drain for 10 minutes to remove all surplus water. Fully vitrified tiles
do not require soaking.

4.9 Tiles shall then be laid in the bedding mix and tamped level.

4.10 All the tiles laid are to be checked for hollowness sound before grouting is
applied. Grouting shall comprise cement and sand (1:1) mixed to a paste
consistency with the minimum of water where specified to be colored,
pigment shall be thoroughly mixed in with dry cement before the sand is
added.

4.11 The grout shall be applied to the joints in the tiling and worked well in until
flush with the tile surface. Surplus grout shall be wiped off with a cloth whilst
still wet. Joint grouting shall be carried out with in 4 hours of the completion
of the laying of tiles.

4.12 Tiles shall be laid level or to 1% falls in “wet” areas as may be required.
Localized variations in levels for a nominally flat floor shall be a maximum of
3 mm under a 3 meter straight edge .Particular care shall be taken in “wet”
areas to prevent low spots and the pooling of water.

4.13 Skirting of the same tile size as the floor shall be fixed in such a manner that
their vertical joints coincides with the horizontal joints of the floor tiles.

4.14 The site is cleaned and the surrounding is cleared. A Request for Inspection
shall be submitted to QP for final inspection and approval of the work.

5.0 Records :

5.1 Material approval for tile-size and thickness, colour, pattern of laying; grout
materials, grout colour and cement mortar.

5.2 Inspection reports.
