Quarry Tiles, Ceramic & Terrazzo Sub Floors

Some existing flooring materials such as quarry tiles, ceramic or terrazzo may be suitable for the installation of Amtico and Spacia if properly prepared.

  • These bases may be sufficiently porous to allow moisture to pass through to the back of the tile, and must be checked for moisture and damp-proofed if necessary.
  • Worn and damaged areas must be repaired, including any tiles that are insecure, which must be removed.
  • The surface must be thoroughly cleaned of all sealants and varnishes, as well as foreign matter such as oil, grease, wax, etc. It is recommended that a suitable mechanical method is used to prepare the surface, as this will also provide a satisfactory surface to accept under-layment materials.
  • A surface damp-proof membrane should then be applied, if required, and finally the sub-floor should be smoothed using a suitable levelling compound. A primer may need to be applied to the DPM for the levelling compound to have sufficient adhesion.
