TILING ON FLOORS & WALLS
Taken from : Ambuja Technical Literature Series - 39
INTRODUCTION
Floors are horizontal elements of a building structure which divide the building into different levels for the purpose of creating more accommodation within the
restricted space, one above the other, and also provide support for the occupants, furniture and equipment's of a building. In this booklet we have covered the types
of floor finishes which are most commonly used such as ceramic, glazed and cement based tiles.
SELECTION OF FLOOR FINISH
In residential or public buildings various types of floors are commonly adopted.
The final selection of the floor finish is done only after considering the following points:
a) It should be durable.
b) It should be easy to clean.
c) As far as possible it should be noiseless.
d) It should have good appearance.
e) It should be free from dampness.
f) It should be fire resistent.
g) It should have low maintenance cost.
OPERATIONS REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING UP TILING WORK
Before flooring can be taken up following operations should be completed.
1 Laying of services like cables, pipes, conduits etc.
2 Plastering of all inside walls, ceilings, outside walls and fixing door and window frames in place.
3 Heavy work in the room in which flooring is to be done.
4 Whenever slope in finished floors is desired, points of level and outlets shall be correctly marked and outlet opening made before flooring is taken up
