Surface Preparation:

All surfaces should be between 40° F(4°C) and 104° F(40°C) and structurally sound, clean and free of all dirt, oil, grease, loose peeling paint, laitance, concrete sealers or curing compounds.

Check the surface to be true to plumb. All slabs must be plumb and true to within ¼” (6mm) in 10 ft(3m). Rough or uneven concrete surfaces should be made smooth with Screed/Plaster material to provide a wood float (or better) finish.

Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened and excess water swept off. Installation may be made on a damp surface.New concrete slabs shall be damp cured and 28* days old before application.

*No minimum cure time for concrete slabs when thin-set mortar is mixed with latex additive

Expansion joints shall be provided through the tile work from all construction or expansion joints in the substrate. Do not cover expansion joints with thin set mortar. F o l l o w A N S I S p e c i fi c a t i o n A N – 3 . 8 “Requirements for Expansion Joints”

MIXING :

Place clean, potable water into a clean mixing bowl. Add ARROTILE PLATINUM  PLUS High Flex p o w d e r i n t o t h e m i x i n g b o w l . U s e approximately 6.8 – 7.5L of water for 25 kg of powder. Mix by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth, trowelable consistency. Allow adhesive to slake for 5 minutes. Adjust  consistency if necessary. Remix and apply with the proper sized notched trowel

NOTE :Addition of ARROTILE PLOYMIX latex admix*,  partially or completely replacing water would enhance the bond strength, flexibility of the
thinset mortar.
* Contact ARROTILE technical services
for large format tile or stone installations on
exterior surfaces.

Application

a) TILE/STONE

Apply adhesive to the substrate with the flat side of the trowel, pressing firmly to work into surface. Comb on additional adhesive with the notched side. Use the proper sized notched trowel to ensure full bedding of the tile. Spread as much adhesive as can be covered with tile in 10 minutes. Back butter large format tiles (> 12”x12”) to provide full bedding and firm support. Place tiles into wet, sticky adhesive and beat in using a beating block and rubber mallet to embed tile and adjust level. Check adhesive for complete coverage by periodically removinga tile and inspecting bedding adhesive transfer onto
back of tile.Use of Arrotile spacers is recommended to provide grout joints between tiles / stones. The joint width shall be as per the recommendation of architect / engineer. Remove the spacers when the
adhesive is set firm. If adhesive is skinned over (not sticky), remove and replace with fresh adhesive.

b) GLASS MOSAIC TILES

The Arrotile Platinum High Flex adhesive shall be applied to the surface to be tiled with a notched trowel using a scraping motion to work the adhesive into good contact with the surface to be covered.
Notch trowel with notches approximately 4mm is recommended to get a bed thickness of 1.5-2mm. V-notch of 3mm also can be used to get bed thickness of 1.5mm. Apply only so much that can be covered with tile within 10-15 minutes or while the  adhesive surface is still tacky. The Glass Mosaic tiles shall then be set in place and beaten gently with mallet or grouting float to insure 100% full bedding. Tiles shall bealigned to achieve uniform joints and then allowed to set until firm. Excess adhesive must be cleaned from the surface of the tile with a wet cloth or sponge while the adhesive is fresh and has not hardened

NOTE TO THE SPECIFIER AND INSTALLER:

After the tiles are set firm, the face of the sheets of front mounted glass mosaic tiles shall then be dampened and the face mount paper can be removed.

While installing tile/stone on the external walls and floors, we need to provide the joints by creating spaces between the tiles/stones and fill them up with Arrotile cement based grout mixed with Arrotile Ploymix (In the absence of spacer joints, the surface movements can push tiles/stones away from the substrate causing de-bonding of tiles or stones)

The exterior tile / stone installations are provided with joints (spaces) on the periphery of the area without allowing the tile / stone to be bound by the peripheral masonry work or plaster.
