Installation Tips
Make sure the tiles are dust free & dry. DO NOT SOAK TILES before tiling.
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry & free from of all surface contaminants such as dust, waxes, polishes bitumen etc.
Apply adhesive to the substrate using a notched trowel, ensuring firm pressure so the adhesive bonds properly.
Press tiles firmly into the adhesive bed using a twisting action.
For heavy or large-format tiles, use a rubber mallet to ensure full contact.
Do not butt joint tiles.
Maintain a minimum grout joint width: 2mm on walls and 3mm on floors.
Remove excess adhesive from joints before it sets.
Include perimeter & intermediate expansion joints to accommodate structural & thermal movement.
Grouting
Tacktile recommends grouting the day after the tiles have been installed to ensure proper curing of the adhesive. Alternatively, wait a minimum of 6 hrs before grouting.
Ensure the grout joints are clean & free of debris like dust / excess adhesive.
Moisten slightly before grouting.
Grout with waterproof grout.
For wet / flexible / high-traffic zones, replace water with Tacktile bonding liquid.
