Laying Instructions (How To lay Monarch Porcelain Floor Tiles?)

Step 1

It is recommended that floor tiling is set out from the middle of the floor so that any cuts are to the outside of the layout. Spread an area of adhesive with a solid bed notched floor trowel and firmly press the first tile into the adhesive.

Step 2

When starting a new area of tiling it is important to check that the tile is correctly bedded into the adhesive without any voids. Use a trowel to lift the tile to check coverage.

Step 3

The adhesive must be evenly applied and in contact with the tile and base to assure long-term adhesion and performance. If necessary re-trowel the adhesive and replace the tile firmly into the adhesive bed.

Step 4

At the edge of the tiled area check the measurement to assess any irregularity in the wall and the cut required.

Step 5

Set the edge tile upside down and mark the cut on the reverse. This should then be transferred to the face before cutting. The cut edge is set to the room edge.

Step 6

Floor tiles should be cut using a tile cutter. After marking the measurement, scrub and break using the cutter.

Step 7

Awkward shapes to fit tiles around pipes and other room fittings should be cut using the nippers. Irregularities in the cut can be smoothed off with a tile file. Protective goggles should be worn during cutting.

Step 8

When the adhesive is dry, usually within 24 hours, the floor can be grouted. Spread grout over the area working it well into the joints with spreading tool. Clean off excess grout in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions.

(Note: Colour shown are as accurate as the limitations of the printing process will allow. Prospective customers are advised to inspect a sample of the tile before ordering. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given. However, the company reserves the right to change the specification without prior notice. Sometimes variations in shade or size being inherent to ceramic industry may occur. It is suggested to check the tiles before purchase and laying as the company does not accept responsibility once the tiles are laid.)
