i)    In the case of

internal wall tiles, the

setting out course or

layout course is

established.

ii)    The level and

events of the wall

surface should not

exceed the allowable

tolerance as specified

in the contract. Any

such defect should be

rectified before

proceeding further.

iii)    While setting out

for floor tiling, establish

a datum level for the

finished floor and

control the overall level

of the finished floor by

levels. The Site

Engineer will involve

Consultant’s

representative while

fixing levels.

iv)    Avoid cutting tiles

as far as possible. If

to starting level.

External walls –

always from top to

bottom covering one

horizontal strip after

another but

preferably to be

done in bays.

spread on the surface using a trowel

or blade in thin layers as specified.

vii)    Before placing the

Page 9: Ceramic Tiles - Terrazzo Tiles and Mosaics Method Statements

next tile take care to

allow correct joint width

by placing the correct

spacers in all corner

joints.

viii)    Do not start joint

grouting work till tiles

are properly fixed to the

surface. Normally the

time period varies

between 24 hrs to 48
