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 18-23). Read the instructions on
the packaging of Adhesives, Grouts and Sealants very
carefully. Keep everything meticulously clean and orderly
as work progresses.
