TECHLAM

• .-FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS
• large sizes pieces make the installation easier.
• Its large size considerably reduces the area
  where the different units are joined together or
  where bacteria can be reproduced easily. Largest
  sizes, smallest joints

  specific maintenance. No special cleaning
  products required.
• Almost 0 water absorption, water, liquids,
  organic materials and graffiti cannot penetrate
  into this material.
• Scratch and abrasion resistant. With an average
  value of 8 on MOHS scale.
• Techlam is a high temperature resistant material,
  which does not produce any toxic smoke.
• Techlam is resistant to detergents
  and disinfectants.
• Without any organic pigment, Techlam can resist
  UV radiation and extreme climatic conditions
• 100 natural. Techlam does not release any
  substances, also it can be easily milled
  and recycled.

TECHLAM

• .-ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
• - 100 natural product
• We use mineral-based raw materials, and none of
  which are organic petroleum-based
• -Techlam does not release any substances.
• We use electrical energy in our firing processes,
  the most eco friendly sound type
• .-It can be milled and recycled in other
  production processes
• -We use less energy per square meter than a
  conventional tile due to the 3 mm thickness,
  compared to 10 mm in a regular tile
• -Because they weigh so little, we can load up to
  3000 m2 in a container or truck. We save a great
  deal of energy in shipping

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 1.- It is important the proper choice of the
  tools and implements notched trowel, rubber
  mallet, suction-cups and cross-spacers for
  installing tiles, rubber trowel for grouting.

27
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 2.- The substrate (wall or floor) to be tiled
  must be perfectly level, with no defects in
  planarity (self leveling compounds might be used
  when necessary). We recommend damp areas to be
  waterproofed beforehand.
• The leveling in the adhesive layer must be
  uniform, with the aim of avoiding the emergence
  of tile edges.

28
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 3.- For a better bonding strength of the adhesive
  is recommendable cleaning previously the surface
  to be tiled.

29
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 4.- During the installation, there should be
  enough light to easily spot any sort of defect,
  especially the appearance of projecting tile
  edges.

30
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 5.- The type of adhesive to use is determinate by
  the properties of the substrate to be tiled
  (surface of brick, wood, plaster, metal, etc.),
  as well as the characteristics of the chosen
  ceramic tiles (with or without fiberglass), the
  tiles format and the final destination use.

31
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 6.- The thin-bed installation method is
  recommended with a flexible adhesive. This type
  of adhesive is deformable with working extended
  periods of time.
• For pieces of 3 with fiberglass base, the
  buttering-floating technique is recommendable,
  that consists of applying the adhesive on both
  the substrate and the back of the tile, paying
  special attention to the full coverage of the
  corners.

32
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 7.- It is advisable a careful handling to avoid
  nipped edges, chipping or scratches on the
  surface of tiles.

33
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 8.- According to The Ceramic Tile Guide, the
  separation between pieces must be less than 1,5
  mm.
• The cross-spacers to be used must be of at least
  1 mm.

34
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 9.- It is recommended to compensate the leveling
  for the possible movement or contraction of the
  material already installed. This procedure will
  avoid most slight differences in levels.

35
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 10.- It is recommended that you consider the
  inclusion of perimeter joints, which will help to
  absorb any movements after installation. If the
  substrate already has its own structural joints
  or dividing joints, these must be respected when
  ceramic tiles are installed

36
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 11.- The installation joints must be empty and
  free of bonding materials and traces of dirt and
  grime. In this way, the adhesion of the grout
  will be improved and will be more effective.

37
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 12.- Joints should be grouted once tiles are
  firmly bonded to the substrate (please check for
  adhesive manufactures recommendation).

38
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 13.- The grouting material should be applied with
  a rubber trowel (using metallic trowels may
  damage the glazed surface of tiles). It is
  recommended to use the colour of grouting
  material the most suitable with the floor or wall
  covering.

39
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 14.- Removing excess grouting material must not
  be left for too long from finished work. It is
  necessary to use a sponge damped in water. This
  operation will help to avoid grouting material
  getting embedded in the glazed surface,
  especially in those which has textures as some
  TECHLAM collections.

40
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

• 15.- In the installation of floor coverings is
  recommended, once the ceramic tile is installed,
  to protect the surface until the building project
  is complete.Following this procedure will
  safeguard the material making the cleaning
  easier.
