  • Natural Stone Slate Tile Installation Manual Setting
    Natural Stone Slate Tile Installation Manual The following procedure for the installation of Natural Stone Slate Tile (Gauged Back) for Flooring It may be used over any wood and cement floor that is structurally sound and dry. In new home construction where plywood is used as a sub floor, it is suggested that an underlayment or backer board needs to attached to the sub floor to insure rigidity where slate floors will be installed. Setting 1. Clean area where slate is to be installed. In the case of smooth painted or varnished floors, it is necessary to sand with very coarse sand paper to assure a good mastic bond. 2. Lay out the slate to understand pattern choices. For multi color slates, blend tile randomly to give proper blend of colors as slate color vary from tile to tile. 3. Using a notched 1/4" x 1/4" trowel, hold at a 45 degree angle to be sure a full ridge is made with the notches. Spread thinset on floor starting ar a far corner so you can back out of the room as you proceed. Spread just enough area so you can reach over it to place the slate. Natural cleft slates have a thickness variation. Spread a good amount of thinset on the floor to make up for any thickness variation. Adding or taking away thinset will ensure that all the tiles are evenly set. 4. Maintain a grout space between the pieces as recommended by the slate supplier (1/4" or 3/8") depending on the sizes of the tiles.
