- establish only approximate criteria which would
- rule out other significantly different types of
- materials but most likely not other terrazzo tiles.
- If Fritz is the only acceptable manufacturer, it is
- recommended that these requirements be deleted, to
- avoid the implication that some comparison will be
- made between Fritztile and other products. If
- other products must be considered, retain these
- requirements.

- PART 3 EXECUTION
-
- 3.1 EXAMINATION
-
- A. Do not begin installation over concrete substrates until
- acceptable moisture conditions have been met; perform
- test for moisture emission as specified.
-
- B. Verify that required flatness tolerances have been met.
-
- C. Do not proceed until unacceptable conditions have been
- corrected.
-
- 3.2 PREPARATION
- NOTE ** The manufacturer requires substrates with flatness
- variation of not greater than 1/8 inch in 10 feet.
- This tolerance applies both the flatness of the
- surface and to the deflection of the underlying
- structure under load. The surface must be smooth;
- the tile installer will be required to fill holes
- and small depressions with patching compound, but
- major projections and gaps must be the
- responsibility of the constructor of the substrate.
- NOTE **
- NOTE ** Existing substrates must be carefully evaluated.
- See the notes below for some specific
- considerations. On walls, tile should not be
- installed over wallpaper, vinyl wallcoverings, etc.
- -- use common sense.
-
- A. Prepare substrates in accordance with tile manufacturer's
- instructions and recommendations.
- NOTE ** All concrete substrates must be tested for moisture
- emission. New concrete must be cured prior to
- conducting moisture tests. Concrete may need to be
- shot-blasted or scarified to accelerate moisture
- emission, but this work would not be the
- responsibility of the tile installer.
-
- B. Moisture Emission Test for Concrete: Do not install
- terrazzo tile on concrete which has moisture emission
- greater than 3.0 pounds per 1000 square feet (0.015 kg/sq
- m) per 24 hours.
- 1. Before beginning test, shot-blast, scarify, or sand a
- small portion of the surface where test will be
- conducted.
- 2. Use an anhydrous calcium chloride 72 hour test unit
- and weigh within one hour of completion of test.
-
- C. New Concrete:
- 1. Remove curing compounds, grease, dirt, loose
- particles, projections, and other foreign matter that
- would prevent adhesion.
- 2. Fill joints, depressions, and irregularities with
- specified patching compound.
-
- D. Existing Concrete:
- 1. Remove adhesives, mastics, and sealers completely and
- thoroughly. Use shot blasting, grinding, sanding, or
- chemical remover as required.
- 2. Clean off residues, grease, dirt, loose particles,
- projections, and all other foreign matter that would
- prevent adhesion.
- 3. Fill joints, depressions, and irregularities with
- specified patching compound.
-
- E. Wood Substrates:
- NOTE ** Existing wood floor construction may deflect too
- much under load to meet the flatness tolerance.
- NOTE **
- NOTE ** The following types of floor sheathing or
- underlayment are not suitable for Fritztile
- installation and must therefore be removed or
- covered with an acceptable underlayment:
- NOTE **
- NOTE ** Compressed fiberboard.
- NOTE ** Lauan mahogany plywood.
- NOTE ** Board flooring or sheathing.
- NOTE ** Particleboard.
- NOTE ** Delete the following paragraph if new underlayment
- is not required, or if it is to be installed in
- another section.
- 1. Cover with new underlayment; stagger joints to offset
- corners; fasten with screws at spacing recommended by
- manufacturer.
- 2. Fill joints and depressions with specified patching
- compound.
-
- F. Existing Terrazzo:
- 1. Remove wax and sealers; rinse clean with clear water.
- 2. Remove or seal existing metal dividers.
- 3. Fill cracks and depressions with specified patching
- compound.
- NOTE ** Cushioned resilient floorings are not acceptable
- substrates. In addition, if they are covered as
- described above for wood floorings, the deflection
- of the floor structure must also be considered.
- NOTE **
- NOTE ** All resilient floorings that are acceptable in
- principle must be securely bonded to the substrate
- and smooth.
-
- G. Existing Resilient Floors:
- 1. Remove wax and polish; rinse clean with clear water.
- 2. Do not sand.
- 3. Fill depressions, embossing and cracks with specified
- patching compound.
-
- H. Cementitious Backer Units:
- 1. Fill joints and depressions with specified patching
- compound.
-
- 3.3 INSTALLATION
-
- A. Install in accordance with tile manufacturer's
- instructions.
-
- B. Lay design symmetrically off center lines of rooms.
-
- C. Make joints tight, inconspicuous, and in true alignment.
-
- D. Cut tile to fit snugly at fixed vertical projections.
-
- E. Apply adhesive to substrate, set tile, and remove spots
- and smears of adhesive immediately.
-
- F. Roll tile into adhesive with 150 pound (68 kg) roller in
- direction diagonal to tile alignment until adhesive has
- set and entire installation is flat and smooth.
-
- G. Examine installation for excess adhesive, high tile
- edges, tile bond, and curling. Repair or replace areas
- that are defective.
-
- H. Seal entire floor area with 2 coats of specified sealer
- using a rayon string mop or other non-linting applicator,
- applied as soon as possible after adhesive has cured.
-
- I. Seal edges of tile at floor perimeter with clear sealant.
-
- 3.4 PROTECTION
-
- A. Keep all traffic off new floor installations for at least
- 24 hours after completion of installation.
-
- B. Install protective covering and maintain until project
- completion; do not apply masking tape directly to tile.
- Remove covering at completion.
-
- 3.5 CLEANING PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY
-
- A. Do not strip finish with strong stripping solutions;
- damage to factory finish will occur.
-
- B. Do not flood floor with water: Water-based adhesives can
- be impaired.
-
- C. Finish with two coats of specified finish coating.
