3.3 INSTALLATION - ACCESSORIES
Waterproofing:
NOTE TO SPECIFIER: Adhesives/mastics, mortars and grouts for ceramic tile, mosaics, pavers, brick and stone are not replacements for waterproofing membranes and will not prevent water penetration into occupied or storage spaces below.
Install the waterproofing membrane in compliance with current revisions of ANSI A108.01 (2.7 Waterproofing) and ANSI A108.13. Review the installation and plan the application sequence. Pre-cut LATICRETE® 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Reinforcing Fabric, allowing 2” (50 mm) for overlap at ends and sides. Roll up the pieces for easy handling and placement. Shake or stir LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid before using. Pre-treat all substrate cracks, cold joints, control joints, coves, corners and penetrations according to manufacturer’s specific recommendations. Allow pre-treated areas to dry to the touch. Apply a liberal coat of LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid with brush or roller over substrate including pre-treated areas. Before the coat dries, unroll LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Reinforcing Fabric, smooth out any wrinkles and press with brush or roller until LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid “bleeds” through to surface. Apply another liberal coat of LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid and allow it to dry to the touch, ~1-3 hours @ 70°F (21°C) & 50% RH. Apply a third liberal coat of LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid to seal membrane. When last coat has dried to the touch, inspect final surface for pinholes, voids or thin spots. Use additional LATICRETE® 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid to seal such defects. For installation of ceramic tile, mosaic, paver, brick or stone, follow Thin Bed Method (§ 3.4 D.), which may begin as soon as last coat of LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid has dried to the touch. Allow LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane to cure for at least 7 days @ 70°F (21°C) & 50% RH before running water penetration tests.

D. Waterproofing Membrane installed over pre-sloped floor substrate and turned up onto the walls. In addition to installing waterproofing membrane where required, provide proper architectural detailing, especially at critical areas such as any penetrations and copings.
NOTE TO SPECIFIER: Adhesives/mastics, mortars and grouts for ceramic tile, mosaics, pavers, brick and stone are not replacements for waterproofing membranes and will not prevent water penetration into occupied or storage spaces below. Drains must be a two-part clamping ring style drains with weepers and as per ASME A112.6.3. Place tile spacers or gravel around weep holes to prevent mortar from clogging the weep holes.
Install the waterproofing membrane in compliance with current revisions of ANSI A108.01 (2.7 Waterproofing) and ANSI A108.13. Review the installation and plan the application sequence. Pre-cut LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Reinforcing Fabric, allowing 2” (50mm) for overlap at ends and sides. Roll up the pieces for easy handling and placement. Shake or stir LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid before using.
Pre-Treat Coves, Corners & Joints: Apply a liberal coat of liquid at coves, corners, seams, joints and changes in substrate plane. Fold 6” (150mm) wide reinforcing fabric in half and imbed it into the liquid, flashing fabric 3” (75mm) up walls. Apply second liberal coat of liquid to seal reinforcing fabric. Refer to TDS 188 for corner and cove treatment.
Wet coat thickness is 20-30 mils, 0.02-0.03", 0.5-0.8mm; use wet film gauge to check thickness; consumption/coat is approximately 0.01 gal/ft2 (0.4 L/m2); coverage/coat is approximately 100 ft2/gal (2.5m2/L);
Pre-Treat Drains: Cut a square of reinforcing fabric approximately 38” x 38” (965mm x 965mm). In the center of the reinforcing fabric square, cut a hole that matches the diameter of the drain throat as closely as possible. Apply a liberal coat of liquid around and over the bottom half of the drain-clamping ring. Center the circular cutout over the drain throat and imbed the reinforcing fabric square into the liquid. If 38” (965mm) wide reinforcing fabric is not available, imbed pieces of 6” (150mm) wide fabric into the liquid, encircling the drain throat as closely as possible. Cover with a second layer of liquid. When dry, apply a waterproof sealant bead (e.g. LATICRETE Latasil™) where the reinforcing square cutout meets the drain throat. Install top half of drain clamping ring. Refer to Drawing WP301, WP302, WP303 for information on completing drain treatment.
Pre-Treat Penetrations: Pack any gaps around pipes, lights or other penetrations with a compressible backer rod and suitable waterproof sealant (e.g. LATICRETE Latasil). Apply a liberal coat of liquid around penetration opening. Imbed pieces of 6” (150mm) wide reinforcing fabric into liquid. Cover with a second layer of liquid. When dry, seal flashing with a waterproof sealant. Refer to Drawing WP 300 or WP-SR605 for information on completing penetrations treatment.
Main Membrane Application: Allow pre-treated areas to dry to the touch. Apply a liberal coat of LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid with brush or roller over substrate including pre-treated areas. Before the coat dries, unroll LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Reinforcing Fabric, smooth out any wrinkles and press with brush or roller until LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid “bleeds” through to surface. Apply another liberal coat of LATICRETE® 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid and allow it to dry to the touch, ~1-3 hours @ 70ºF (21º C) & 50% RH. Apply a third liberal coat of LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid to seal membrane. When last coat has dried to the touch, inspect final surface for pinholes, voids or thin spots. Use additional LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane Liquid to seal such defects. Allow LATICRETE 9235 Waterproofing Membrane to cure for at least 7 days @ 70º F (21º C) & 50% RH before running water penetration tests.
Protection: Provide protection for newly installed membrane, even if covered with a thin bed ceramic tile, stone or brick installation, against exposure to rain or other water for a minimum of 5 days @ 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH.
Flood Testing: Allow membrane to cure fully before flood testing, typically 7 days @ 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH. Cold and/or wet conditions will require a longer curing time.
Tile / Stone Installation Notes: Once membrane has dried to the touch, ceramic tile, stone or brick maybe installed by the thin bed method with a LATICRETE Latex Thin-Set Mortar. Allow membrane to cure 7 days @ 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH before covering with concrete, thick bed mortar, screeds, toppings, coatings, epoxy adhesives, terrazzo or moisture sensitive resilient or wood flooring. Do not use solvent-based adhesives directly on membrane.
Tile / Stone Finish at Drains and Penetrations: Allow for a minimum 1/4” (6 mm) space between drains, pipes, lights or other penetrations and surrounding ceramic tile, stone or brick. Use appropriate waterproof sealant and foam backer rod to seal space - do not use grout, joint filler or thin-set mortar.

F. Grouting or Pointing:
NOTE TO SPECIFIER: select one of following and specify color for each type/color of ceramic tile, mosaic, paver, trim unit:
1. Chemical Resistant, Water Cleanable Tile-Grouting Epoxy (ANSI A118.3): Follow manufacturer‘s recommendations for minimum cure time prior to grouting. Store liquid components of LATICRETE® SpectraLOCK™ PRO Grout for 24 hours @ 70-80°F (21-27°C) prior to use to facilitate mixing and application. Substrate temperature must be 40-95°F (4-35°C). Verify joints are free of dirt, debris or grout spacers. Sponge or wipe dust/dirt off tile faces and remove water standing in joints. Apply grout release to face of absorptive, abrasive, non-slip or rough textured ceramic tile, pavers, bricks, stone or trim units that are not hot paraffin coated to facilitate cleaning. Cut open pouch and pour LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout Part A Liquid into a clean mixing pail. Then open pouch and pour LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout Part B Liquid into the mixing pail. Mix by hand or with a slow speed (<300 rpm) mixer until the two liquids are well blended. Then, while mixing, add LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout Part C Powder and blend until uniform. Install LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout in compliance with current revisions of ANSI A108.02 (3.13) and ANSI A108.6 (3.0 - 4.0). Spread using a sharp edged, hard rubber float and work grout into joints. Using strokes diagonal (at 45° angle) to the grout lines, pack joints full and free of voids/pits. Then hold float face at a 90° angle to grouted surface and use float edge to "squeegee" off excess grout, stroking diagonally to avoid pulling grout out of filled joints. Once excess grout is removed, a thin film/haze will be left. Initial cleaning of the remaining film/haze can begin approximately 20-30 minutes after grouting (wait longer at colder temperatures). Begin by mixing cleaning additive packet with 2 gallons (7.6 L) of clean water in a clean bucket to make cleaning solution. Dip a clean sponge into the bucket and then wring out cleaning solution until sponge is damp. Using a circular motion, lightly scrub grouted surfaces with the damp sponge to dissolve grout film/haze. Then drag sponge diagonally over the scrubbed surfaces to remove froth. Rinse sponge frequently and change cleaning solution at least every 50 ft2 (4.7m2). Discard sponges as they become "gummy" with residue. Within one (1) hour of finishing first cleaning, clean the same area again following the same procedure but utilizing a clean white scrub pad and fresh cleaning solution. Rinse scrub pad frequently. Drag a clean sponge diagonally over the scrubbed surfaces to remove froth. Use each side of sponge only once before rinsing and change cleaning solution at least every 50 ft2 (4.7m2). Allow cleaned areas to dry and inspect tile/stone surface. For persistent grout film/haze (within 24 hours), repeat scrubbing procedure with undiluted white vinegar and clean pad. Rinse with clean water and allow surface to dry. Inspect grout joint for pinholes/voids and repair them with freshly mixed LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout. Cautions: Do not use undiluted white vinegar on polished marble or limestone unless a test spot in an inconspicuous area indicates no change in finish appearance; Do not use acid cleaners on epoxy grout less than 7 days old.

Install latex fortified cement grout in compliance with current revisions of ANSI A108.1A (7.0 Grouting of tile), ANSIA108.02 (4.5 Cleaning tile) and ANSI A108.10. Dampen dry surfaces with clean water. Spread using a sharp edged, hard rubber float and work grout into joints. Using diagonal (at 45° angle to direction of grout line) strokes, pack joints full and free of voids/pits. Hold float face at a 90° angle to grouted surface and use float edge to "squeegee" off excess grout, stroking diagonally to reduce pulling grout out of filled joints. Initial cleaning can begin as soon as grout has become firm, typically 20-30 minutes after grouting depending on temperature. Drag a clean towel dampened with water, or wipe a clean, dampened sponge, diagonally over the veneer face to remove any grout haze left after “squeegeeing.” Rinse towel/sponge frequently and change rinse water at least every 200 ft2 (19m2). Repeat this cleaning sequence again if grout haze is still present. Allow grout joints to become firm. Buff surface of grout with clean coarse cloth. Inspect joint for pinholes/voids and repair them with freshly mixed grout. Within 24 hours, check for remaining haze and remove it with warm soapy water and a nylon scrubbing pad, using a circular motion, to lightly scrub surfaces and dissolve haze/film. Do not use acid cleaners on latex portland cement grout less than 10 days old.
NOTE TO SPECIFIER: select one of following and specify color for each type/color of ceramic tile, mosaic, paver, trim unit:
latex-portland cement sanded floor grout for joint widths ≥1/16”(1.5mm ) and ≤1/2” (12mm);

Layout (field defined by joints): 1:1 length: width is optimum but must be ≤ 2:1. Remove all contaminants and foreign material from joint spaces/surfaces, such as dirt, dust, oil, water, frost, setting/grouting materials, sealers and old sealant/backer. Use LATICRETE® Latasil™ 9118 Primer for underwater and permanent wet area applications, or for porous stone (e.g. limestone, sandstone etc…) installations. Install appropriate Backing Material (e.g. closed cell backer rod) based on expansion joint design and as specified in § 07920. Apply masking tape to face of tile, brick or stone veneer. Use caulking gun, or other applicator, to completely fill joints with sealant. Within 5-10 minutes of filling joint, ‘tool’ sealant surface to a smooth finish. Remove masking tape immediately after tooling joint. Wipe smears or excess sealant off the face of non-glazed tile, brick, stone or other absorptive surfaces immediately.
Use the following LATICRETE System Materials:
LATICRETE Latasil
LATICRETE Latasil 9118 Primer

H. PROTECTION
Protect finished installation under provisions of §01500 and §01535. Close areas to other trades and traffic until tile being installed has set firmly. Keep floors installed with epoxy adhesive closed to traffic for 24 hrs. at 70°F (21°C), and to heavy traffic for 48 hours @ 70°F (21°C) unless instructed differently by manufacturer. Use kneeling boards, or equivalent, to walk/work on newly tiled floors. Cure tile work in swimming pools, fountains and other continuous immersion applications for 10 days for epoxy based grout @ 70°F (21°C) and 14 days for latex-portland cement based grout @ 70°F (21°C) before filling installation with water. Extend period of protection at lower temperatures, below 60°F (16°C) and at high relative humidity (>70% RH) due to retarded set times of mortar/adhesives. Replace or restore work of other trades damaged or soiled by work under this section.
Filling Pool - fill pool with water at rate of 2 ft (600mm) per 24 hours to allow gradual exposure to water pressure, thermal and moisture differentials. Initial alkalinity of pool water is very high from exposure to portland cement based finishes, grouts, and mortars; careful and frequent balance is required. Do not fill if potential thermal gradients exist (very cold source water, exterior pool exposed to several days of solar radiation.
Emptying Pool - empty pool water at rate of 2 ft (600mm) per 24 hours to prevent hydrostatic pressure from de-laminating tiles of leveling mortar (in pools without waterproof membrane)
