3.5 INSTALLATION - WALLS
A. General:
1. Set full tile units, or full factory-assembled sheets
of tile units, adjacent to outside corner units; cut
tile only at inside corners.
2. Unless otherwise indicated, install tile in grid
pattern plumb and level.
3. Provide trim shapes as follows:
a. Coved base with bullnose cap for walls not
receiving wall tile.
b. Coved base with square cap for walls receiving
wall tile.
c. External corners for walls and base.
d. Other trim shapes specified in manufacturer's
installation instructions for project conditions.
4. Where wall tile and floor tile have same modular
dimensions, align wall tile joints with floor tile
joints.
NOTE ** In the following paragraphs TCA installation
methods are referenced. For best results, use the
TCA Handbook to determine which methods are
appropriate to the project. The methods describe
the type of mortar or adhesive to use, as well as
membranes and reinforcing. In some cases, methods
include options that are normally the contractor's
choice -- if that is not so, be sure to specify
which option is required.
NOTE **
NOTE ** The applications listed are only those most
commonly encountered. Delete applications not
required.
NOTE **
NOTE ** The methods generally do not specify the grout
type, so if a particular grout type is required add
it to the installation description or include it in
a schedule.

condition may be different, consult the TCA
Handbook for appropriate methods.
3.8 GROUTING
A. Cure set tile in accordance with the following:
1. Cure tile 72 hours before grouting when temperature
is low or humidity is high.
2. Cure tile 48 hours before grouting when hot, dry
conditions exist.
3. Check bond strength of tile before grouting.
B. Grout tile in accordance with the following, using grout
materials specified:
NOTE ** Delete one of the following two paragraphs if both
are not required.
1. Latex Portland Cement Grout: ANSI A108.10.
2. Epoxy Grout: ANSI A108.6.
3. Remove grout from tile surfaces while still plastic,
as grouting progresses.
3.9 CLEANING
A. After completion of setting and grouting, clean tile
surfaces using cleaning methods and materials recommended
by tile manufacturer and grout materials manufacturer.
B. Except as specifically recommended by both tile
manufacturer and grout materials manufacturer, acid
cleaning of tile and grout surfaces is prohibited; in
such instance, clean tile and grout surfaces in strict
accordance with manufacturers' instructions for acid
cleaning, including protection of adjacent products and
materials.
3.10 PROTECTION
A. Leave finished installation clean and free of cracked,
chipped, broken, unbonded, or otherwise defective work.
B. When recommended by tile manufacturer, apply protective
coat of neutral protective cleaner to completed tile
walls and floors.
C. Protect installed tile in accordance with ANSI
specifications and manufacturer's instructions; use Kraft
paper or other heavy covering during construction period
to prevent staining, damage, and wear.
D. Remove protective coverings and rinse neutral cleaner
from tile surfaces not more than 24 hours before final
inspection.
3.11 SCHEDULE
NOTE ** If more than one type or color of tile or grout is
specified, include a schedule either in the
specification or on the drawings to indicate which
type is to be used in each location.
NOTE **
NOTE ** Types of mortars and underlayments are usually
determined by the application, not the tile type or
appearance, and so would be specified in PART 3
rather than scheduled.
