Installation Guide
The purpose of this booklet is to outline the basic principles of installing Fired Earth floor tiles. For more detailed technical information, refer to British Standard BS 5385 Wall and Floor Tiling.
Important Notes:
Prior to installation please ensure the tiles purchased are suitable for the application. All tiles must be thoroughly inspected prior to installation. Ensure your tiler is aware of the expected finish of the tiles and there are sufficient tiles for the area. The tiles must be well shuffled by drawing tiles from all the boxes. Dry lay an area in suitable light as a final check before installation.
No complaints regarding the appearance of the product will be accepted by the company once the tiles have been installed.
For further information or if any doubt exists, please telephone our Technical Department for advice prior to commencing any tiling.
Fired Earth have tested our range of adhesives, grouts and sealants to ensure compatibility with all our tiles (see our Product Selector on page
