Be
sure to read & understand all of these instructions before you
begin.
A. The installation area should be cleaned of all debris,
oil, grease, and laitance; and that the area is completely free of moisture.
New Construction: GC should create a ¼" deep recess as part of the concrete
pour. Existing Construction: Tile may be surface mounted on existing curb
ramp with no surface preparation.
B. Lay out the tiles on the substrate as they will appear
when installed. f required, the tile may be cut using a table saw and carbide
tipped blade.
C. Place a
⅜"
bead of adhesive on the frame of the bottom of each tile. Each 30 oz. tube
should yield approximately 16 square feet of coverage.
D. Set the tile in the installation area. Make all necessary
adjustments prior to fastening.
E. Fasteners shall be installed in pre-formed fastener
locations. Holes shall be drilled using a hammer drill with ¼" x 2" min SDS
bits. The drilled holes must be a minimum of 1½" deep. Place fasteners in hole
and hammer into place. If additional fasteners are required, use a ½", six
point, 82 degree countersink to add a new fastener location. Follow same
drilling method for installing the fastener.
F. Caulk around perimeter of entire installation using
Sonneborn NP1 or equivalent. All concrete dust present on the tile from the
drilling process must be cleaned off of the tile face prior to using any
caulking materials.
G. Following completion of the installation, all surfaces of
the work shall be cleaned to the satisfaction of the Engineer/Owner.
