Industrial Tiles Flooring

Industrial tiles have a high breaking strength and do not give way under heavy load of goods, machineries, forklifts and vehicles. These tough and durable tiles are used in small as well as large industrial units. Industrial floor tiles are antiskid, stain free, fire resistant and can bear heavy load and require low maintenance. Small Size industrial tiles are suitable for installing on vertical surfaces and it gives a great degree of traction to vehicle wheels.

INSTALLATION METHOD:

1. STEP 1: Subfloor Preparation

● This is the most important step in accomplishing a satisfactory installation. The subfloor must be structurally sound, rigid, smooth, flat, and free of curing compounds and waxy or oily films.

1. STEP 2: Floor Layout

● In this step, the room is measured, and the chalk lines are snapped.Once. The chalk lines are in place, the installer will verify the floor in both directions to balance the room.

1. Step 3: Preparing the Tiles

● Slight tone variations are to be expected from tile to tile. A good installer will prevent this from becoming a problem by mixing the tiles from several cartons before installation. This blends the tiles together, and any shade variations add to the character of the floor.

1. STEP 4 : Spreading the Thinnest

● Using the chalk lines as a guide, the installer will begin applying the thinset in one section at a time. He will spread one coat using the flat side of the trowel and then immediately come back with a second coat, using the notched side of the trowel.

1. STEP 5 : Laying the Tiles

● The tiles are then placed one at a time in the thinset by twisting and pressing while allowing appropriate spacing for the grout. A straight edge or spacers may be used to align the tile.

1. STEP 6 : Grouting

● The installer will generally begin grouting the following day. It is important to allow the thinset enough time to set up before applying the grout. The grout is applied over one small section at a time and is spread by means of a rubber float or a squeegee. Pulling the grout firmly over the surface will both push the grout into the joints and clean off most of the excess grout. Then the tile is rinsed using a damp sponge. Very little water is applied. After approximately ten minutes the surface of the tile is cleaned again with a damp sponge (even drier this time), or on some shiny tiles, just buff with a dry towel.

● Use the grouting float diagonally across the tiles at an angle to prevent dragging grout from joint Clean float in clear water. Change water in pails often to keep clean.

● Go back over the grout holding float at a 90 degree angle. Use a damp (not wet) sponge to clean the grout off the tile surface. Clean the sponge and keep repeating until the section is clean.

● Buff film off tile with a soft towel after grout dries to the touch. Keep people off newly grouted floors for about 12-24 hours.
