Technical Information
Ceramic Tile Underlay Information
Ceramic tiles are highly durable and will last for years. Even with heavy foot traffic. Ceramic tile underlays are required to ensure tiles are installed on a flat surface with good tile adhesion. This will help prevent tiles cracking and coming loose.
Ceramic Tile Underlay Installation
Lay the fibre cement underlay sheets in a staggered pattern. They should be ninety degrees to the direction of existing flooring substrate joints. Butt sheets tightly together. Then, ensure joints don’t coincide with the joints in the existing floor.
Underlay sheets should finish approximately 3mm from walls and other projections.
