3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions where tile will be installed, with Installer
present, for compliance with requirements for installation tolerances and other
conditions affecting performance of installed tile.
1. Verify that substrates for setting tile are firm; dry; clean; free of oil, waxy
films, and curing compounds; and within flatness tolerances required by
referenced ANSI A108 Series of tile installation standards for installations
indicated.
2. Verify that installation of grounds, anchors, recessed frames, electrical and
mechanical units of work, and similar items located in or behind tile has been
completed before installing tile.
3. Verify that joints and cracks in tile substrates are coordinated with tile
joint locations; if not coordinated, adjust joint locations in consultation with
Architect.
B. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.02 PREPARATION
A. Remove coatings, including curing compounds and other substances that contain
soap, wax, oil, or silicone, that are incompatible with tile-setting materials.
B. Provide concrete substrates for tile floors installed with thin-set mortar that
comply with flatness tolerances specified in referenced ANSI A108 Series of tile
installation standards.
1. Fill cracks, holes, and depressions with trowelable leveling and patching
compound according to tile-setting material manufacturer's written
instructions. Use product specifically recommended by tile-setting material
manufacturer.
2. Remove protrusions, bumps, and ridges by sanding or grinding.
C. Blending: For tile exhibiting color variations within ranges selected during Sample
submittals, verify that tile has been factory blended and packaged so tile units taken
from one package show same range of colors as those taken from other packages
and match approved Samples. If not factory blended, either return to manufacturer
or blend tiles at Project site before installing.
D. Field-Applied Temporary Protective Coating: Where needed to prevent grout from
staining or adhering to exposed tile surfaces, precoat them with continuous film of
temporary protective coating, taking care not to coat unexposed tile surfaces.
3.03 INSTALLATION, GENERAL
Midtown West Studio M Architecture and Planning
Carmel, IN November 10, 2017
09 30 00 - 7

"Specifications for Installation of Ceramic Tile" that apply to types of setting and
grouting materials and to methods indicated in ceramic tile installation schedules.
B. TCA Installation Guidelines: TCA's "Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation." Comply
with TCA installation methods indicated in ceramic tile installation schedules.
C. Extend tile work into recesses and under or behind equipment and fixtures to form
complete covering without interruptions, unless otherwise indicated. Terminate
work neatly at obstructions, edges, and corners without disrupting pattern or joint
alignments.
D. Accurately form intersections and returns. Perform cutting and drilling of tile
without marring visible surfaces. Carefully grind cut edges of tile abutting trim,
finish, or built-in items for straight aligned joints. Fit tile closely to electrical
outlets, piping, fixtures, and other penetrations so plates, collars, or covers
overlap tile.
E. Jointing Pattern: Lay tile in grid pattern, unless otherwise indicated. Align joints
when adjoining tiles on floor, base, walls, and trim are same size. Lay out tile work
and center tile fields in both directions in each space or on each wall area. Adjust
to minimize tile cutting. Provide uniform joint widths, unless otherwise indicated.
1. For tile mounted in sheets, make joints between tile sheets same width as
joints within tile sheets so joints between sheets are not apparent in
finished work.
F. Lay out tile wainscots to next full tile beyond dimensions indicated.
G. Expansion Joints: Locate expansion joints and other sealant-filled joints, including
control, contraction, and isolation joints, where indicated during installation of
setting materials, mortar beds, and tile. Do not saw-cut joints after installing tiles.
1. Locate joints in tile surfaces directly above joints in concrete substrates.
2. Prepare joints and apply sealants to comply with requirements in Division 7
Section "Joint Sealants."
H. Grout tile to comply with requirements of the following tile installation standards:
1. For ceramic tile grouts (sand-portland cement; dry-set, commercial portland
cement; and latex-portland cement grouts), comply with ANSI A108.10.
2. For chemical-resistant epoxy grouts, comply with ANSI A108.6.
3.04 WATERPROOFING AND CRACK-SUPPRESSION MEMBRANE INSTALLATION
A. Install waterproofing to comply with ANSI A108.13 and waterproofing manufacturer's
written instructions to produce waterproof membrane of uniform thickness bonded
securely to substrate.

Provide uniform joint widths unless otherwise indicated.
D. Expansion Joints: Provide expansion joints and other sealant-filled joints, including
control, contraction, and isolation joints, where indicated. Form joints during
installation of setting materials, mortar beds, and tile. Do not saw-cut joints after
