Part 3 Execution

3.1 GENERAL

.1 Schedule all operations so that area of work is safe for access at end of each work shift. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry, free from dust and debris and that no safety hazards exist. Remove all materials and equipment and employ temporary measures to protect new surfaces to approval of Departmental Representative.

.2 Perform all operations in accordance with manufacturers written application instructions except where specified otherwise. Comply with manufacturer’s written data, including product technical bulletins, product catalogue installation instructions, product carton installation instructions, and datasheet.

.3 Perform all operations in accordance with TTMAC specifications and details. Where TTMAC details vary from manufacturers written instructions, obtain clarification from Departmental Representative prior to commencing installations.

3.2 PREPARATION

.1 Prepare floor surfaces free from surface obstacles. Remove all obstacles that would impede removal and replacement of flooring. Store and reinstall after new flooring is completed.

.2 Protect wall surfaces as well as all mechanical and electrical services in areas of work from damage. If damaged, clean and restore such surfaces as directed by Departmental Representative.

.3 Protect surrounding work from damage or disfiguration.

.4 Protect floors and adjacent spaces from damage caused by cleaning and preparation operations. Provide dust tight enclosures as approved by Departmental Representative and take measures to prevent the spread if dirt and dust beyond area of work.

3.3 LEVELLING COMPOUND

.1 Inspect cleaned slab and remove areas of deteriorated or loose concrete. Identify low areas and out of level sections. Apply leveling coat to entire area to completely seal existing slab in accordance with TTMAC details and to correct any defects in the substrate.

.2 Finished surface to be smooth and level. Maintain slopes to floor drains. Maximum surface tolerance 1:800. Prepare surface ready to receive new application of tiles.

.3 Install leveling compound as recommended by tile manufacturer to create as much slope as possible to the existing floor drains. Maintain flush intersection with new marble thresholds at entry doorways.


3.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS

.1 Verify existing conditions are ready to receive work. Notify Departmental Representative in writing of unacceptable substrate conditions. Beginning of installation implies acceptance of existing conditions.

.2 Thoroughly clean existing surfaces that are to receive tile finish to ensure the removal of all grease, oil or dust film. Ensure substrate surfaces are clean, dimensionally stable and free of contaminants such as oil, sealers and curing compounds. Ensure concrete floors have not been treated with curing compounds.

3.5 WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE

.1 Install waterproofing membrane in accordance with manufacturers printed instructions.

.2 Install waterproofing membrane below all floor tiles in washrooms. Install waterproofing membrane behind all wall tiles in all “Wet” areas.

.6 Make joints between tile uniform, plumb, straight, true, even and flush with adjacent tile. Ensure sheet layout not visible after installation. Align patterns.

.7 Prior to installation ensure that the back of each tile is free of contaminants.

.8 Clean excess bonding material from surface prior to final set.

.9 Clean backs of tiles and back butter tiles to ensure a 95% bond coverage. Set tiles in place while bond coat is wet and tacky, prior to skinning over. Slide tile back and forth to ensure a proper bond and level surface. Avoid slippage. Bonding material must be evenly dispersed and pressed into the back of the tile.

.10 Sound tiles after setting and replace hollow-sounding units to obtain full bond.
