STEP 1: SURFACE PREPARATION

Depending on the type of subfloor:

  • Concrete subfloor: Use a laser level or water level to check for flatness. If necessary, grind and fill any uneven or bumpy areas.
  • Sand subfloor: Level the surface and pour a concrete layer to create a solid base. Apply a 5–7 cm thick cement mortar layer and let it dry for at least 24 hours.

Note: The surface must be completely clean and dry before tiling.

STEP 2: INSTALLING TERRAZZO TILES

  • Mark the tile layout: Use string lines according to the technical drawing.
  • Prepare tile adhesive: Use specialized water-retentive, quick-setting tile adhesive.
  • Apply adhesive: Spread the adhesive evenly with a notched trowel, maintaining a thickness of 0.5–1 cm.
  • Lay the tiles: Place each tile in its designated position and gently tap with a rubber mallet to adjust the height and level.
  • Maintain grout joints: Leave a minimum gap of 2 mm between tiles for grouting.

Do not walk on or place heavy objects on the tiled surface for the first 24 hours after installation.

STEP 3: GROUTING TERRAZZO TILES

  • Clean the tile surface: Remove any excess adhesive before grouting.
  • Use specialized grout: Choose a flexible, cement-based grout. Do not use regular cement mortar.
  • Apply grout evenly: Ensure all joints are fully filled—no gaps or cracks.
  • Clean immediately after grouting: Wipe with a soft cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals.

Grouting should be done 2–3 days after tile installation to allow the adhesive to fully set.

STEP 4: APPLYING FINAL WATERPROOF SEALER

Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a specialized waterproof sealer to protect the tiles from dirt, moisture, and mold, and to extend their lifespan.

Do not use oil, wax, or unknown chemicals, as they may damage the tile surface.
