Mud bed shall be gauged with one part Acrylic Mortar Admix to one part water for exterior installations. 3. Do not specify this system over presswood, particle board, chipboard, Luan plywood, masonite, asbestos board, gypsum based patching and leveling compounds and similar unstable materials which are not suitable substrates to receive tile. 4. Consult Tile Council of America Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation for correct method of installation for given situations. 5. Back buttering of glass mosaic tile is recommended. 6. For swimming pool applications, allow tile installation and grout to cure 21 days prior to filling the pool with water. 7. Insert the following specification in the concrete section: A. No sealer or curing compound shall be applied to concrete surfaces which are to receive tile. All concrete shall be cured a minimum of 28 days prior to installation of tile. B. Concrete surfaces, bonded directly, which are to receive tile shall have a steel troweled and fine broom finish and shall be level and true to a tolerance of 1/8 (3 mm) in 8 0 (2.4m) for walls and 1/8 (3 mm) in 10 0 (3 m) for floors. Pitch floors to drains where required.

2 SPECIFICATION: Page 2 of 7 C. Concrete substrates requiring filling or patching up to ½ thick are to be repaired with LevelQuik Leveling Compound Fast-Setting Cement. D. For horizontal applications requiring leveling over ½ thick, use mortar mix (5 parts sand and 1 part cement gauged with one part Acrylic Mortar Admix to one part water) over a screed finish. E. For vertical concrete substrates requiring a build up or leveling of the concrete between ½ and 1½ average thickness, use CustomFloat Mortar Mix gauged with ½ water and ½ Custom Acrylic Mortar Admix over a scratch coat. F. All surfaces to receive tile are to be left clean, free from dust, oil, grease, wax, tar, paint, curing agents, sealers, form release agents or any deleterious substance which may reduce or prevent adhesion. G. The general contractor shall be responsible for the removal of all such contaminants prior to the commencement of the tile installation work. 8. If the substrate is different than concrete or if additional installation materials are required (such as waterproofing, substrate preparation materials, expansion joint materials or sealers) insert the appropriate ANSI standard for that material in the Quality Assurance Paragraph, This is a suggested specification for the materials named above. It remains the responsibility of the architect or engineer to ascertain appropriateness for a given job.

4 SPECIFICATION: Page 4 of 7 PART II PRODUCTS 2.1 Products, General A. ANSI Standard For Ceramic Tile: Comply with ANSI A137.1 for types, compositions and grades of tile indicated. B. ANSI Standard for Tile Installation Materials: Comply with ANSI Standard referenced with products and materials indicated for tile setting and grouting. 2.2 Materials 2.3 Mixes A. Tile for Swimming Pool 1. Manufacturer: Daltile 2. Product: Glass Mosaic 3. Size: As shown on drawings 4. Color: As shown on drawings B. Bonding System for Floors and Walls 1. ANSI A a. PremiumPlus Thin-Set by Custom Building Products b. CustomFlex Additive by Custom Building Products C. Grout for Floors and Walls 1. ANSI A a. Polyblend Grout by Custom Building Products A. All mortars and grouts shall be mixed in strict accordance with manufacturer s printed instructions and industry standards (ANSI Specifications). PART III EXECUTION 3.1 Inspection A. Examine surfaces which are to receive tile. 1. Do not proceed with work until defects or conditions which would adversely affect quality, execution and permanence of finished tile work are corrected (ANSI AN-3 and A-3).

5 SPECIFICATION: Page 5 of 7 B. Condition of surface to receive tile. 3.2 Installation 1. Assure that surfaces to receive tile are stable, flat, firm, dry, clean and free of oil, waxes and curing compounds or any material that would interfere with direct bonding. 2. Protect adjacent surfaces prior to beginning tile work. A. Surface preparation for tile work 1. General a. All supporting surfaces shall be structurally sound, solid, stable, level, plumb, and true to a tolerance in plane of 1/8 ± in 8 0 for walls, 1/8 ± in 10 0 for floors, thin-set method, or ¼ in 10 0, mortar bed method.

Mechanically sand and scarify the substrate to completely remove all paint, loosely bonded topping, loose particles and construction debris. c. Neutralize any trace of strong acid or alkali. d. All substrates shall be dry. The moisture content shall not exceed 50%. e. If interior installation, turn off all forced ventilation and radiant heating systems and protect work against drafts during installation and for a period of at least 72 hours after completion. Use indirect auxiliary heaters to maintain the temperatures in the area at the recommended workable level. Vent temporary heater to exterior to prevent damage to tile work from carbon dioxide build-up. f. If exterior installation, protect installation from temperature extremes, hot or cold and inclement weather for a period of at least 72 hours after completion. g. Presswood, hardwood, particle board, chipboard, masonite, gypsum based patching or leveling compounds, asbestos board, Luan and similar dimensionally unstable materials are not acceptable substrates. h. Before work commences, examine the areas to be covered and report any flaw or adverse condition in writing to the architect and to the general contractor.

New concrete surfaces for dry set mortar installations shall be steel troweled with a fine broom finish. c. On grade or below grade concrete slabs must be installed over an effective vapor barrier and be exempt from hydrostatic pressures. d. Over excessively dry porous concrete, keep the concrete substrate continuously moist for at least 24 hours before work begins when using dry-set mortars or medium-bed mortars.

Horizontal areas requiring a leveling coat of not more than ½ are to be repaired with Custom LevelQuik Leveling Compound Fast-Setting Cement. f. For vertical concrete substrates requiring a build up or leveling of the concrete between ½ and 1½ average thickness, use CustomFloat Mortar Mix gauged with ½ water and ½ Custom Acrylic Mortar Admix over a scratch coat. g. For horizontal applications requiring leveling over ½ thick, use mortar mix (5 parts sand and 1 part cement gauged with one part Acrylic Mortar Admix to one part water) over a screed finish. B. Expansion Joints, control joints, insulation joints, etc., must be located in compliance with TCA EJ171 and filled with the appropriate materials. 1. Joints must be carried through all layers of installation materials, including tile, directly over joints in substrate. C. Install tile in accordance with ANSI A 108.1C or ANSI A and manufacturer s directions. D. Back buttering of glass mosaic tile is recommended. E. Install grout in accordance with ANSI A and manufacturer s directions. 1. Proper curing of grout entails covering installation with non-staining kraft paper for a period of 72 hours.

7 SPECIFICATION: Page 7 of Cleaning and Protection A. Clean upon completion of setting and grouting; clean all ceramic tile surfaces so they are free of foreign matter.
