Nest - Wall tile

Important instructions for laying wall tiles 1 Plaster the surface to be tiled with mortar (Ratio of cement and water is 1:3) 2 Prepare cement slurry ie.,,mixture of cement and water to form a thick paste. 3 Wet the rear side of the tile with sponge and then spread the cement slurry on it. 4 Wet the rear side of the tile with water. (Complete immersion of tile is not necessary) 5 If tiles are square or rectangular in shape, set the right angles for the area and place the first tile along the right angle line on base mortar. Tap gently with the rubber 6 After laying, immediately clean the surface of the tiles with clean wet sponge. Ensure that the base mortar cement which squeezes through joints does not settle on the tile. 7 Also make sure that the water used is not hard or brackish 8 Do not use the area laid for 48 Hours 9 Fill the joints with pointing materials ie., mixture of white cement and desired color pigment. For higher quality of finishes, you could use, if required, a polymer based cementitious tiling joint filler. Do not apply the pointing material all over the surface. 10 Allow the pointing material to set for 15 minutes and clean the surface of the tile with clean wet sponge, in order to remove the excess pigment on the tile surface. 11 Wash the surface with soap water or mild detergent to get a clean surface.
