Let’s not forget that our tiles are handmade<\/strong> and that a quality installation will contribute to the beauty of your floor. Storage should be in a dry place. Nevertheless, here are some useful tips to implement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place the tiles dry in order to position the decorations or friezes well, and distribute harmoniously the shades of plain which can vary appreciably (mix the tiles of each box).<\/p>\n

The raw tiles are covered with efflorescence due to a rise of cement during drying. This is normal and disappears after a light polishing with a very fine water sandpaper which will make it instantly clean and smooth. The joints will be all the easier to make.<\/p>\n

Traditional installation :
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It must be done on a very lean mortar screed (150kg\/m3). Tiles must be wet to remove dust, and are laid flush with the screed, then gently levelled by pressure. Do not hit them with a black mallet, use an old-fashioned bat to hit 4 tiles at a time. They must be cleaned as the installation progresses.<\/p>\n

Laying with cement glue, see the steps below:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. With powdered adhesive mortar, make a sufficiently thick mixture (photo 1). Use a wide-tooth comb.<\/li>\n
  2. Using a wide-tooth comb, spread the mixture obtained in a layer slightly larger than the width of the tile and over a sufficient length to allow the installation of several tiles (photo 2)<\/li>\n
  3. Also coat each tile with the same mixture, then apply it to the floor<\/li>\n
  4. Provide a trowel-thick joint between each 2 mm tile.<\/li>\n
  5. Press the tile by tapping it with your hand while making sure to even it out with the tiles already laid<\/li>\n
  6. The joints are made either with a slip or with dry cement swept and moistened. Colored and\/or pigmented joints are prohibited<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Clean up the mortar burrs as you go along<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    IMPORTANT<\/strong> Never tap with a hammer or plastic mallet directly on the surface of the tile. Use a bat (a piece of wood of about 50cm\/50cm).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”5px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”82050″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]\n
