ceilings to minimum dry film thickness recommended by manufacturer. HVAC supply and return grills are to be painted at the
same time as the walls and are to match wall colors (except where noted otherwise –special Architectural conditions). Interior
trim and doors to be painted/stained as per Architect.

minimum of one more round at end of the job to handle final touch‐ups/punchlist items. This work will include painting of minor
drywall patches/repairs.
C. Tile (Reference Standards): Comply with current editions and applicable Specifications of the following: American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Tile Council of America (TCA) Handbook for Ceramic
Tile Installation.

design and scope to that indicated. Prior to tile installation, conduct a pre‐installation project meeting. CM, Contractor, Architect,
and Owner representative shall be notified of the meeting. Install a field mock‐up of size agreed by CM and Architect for approval.
Mock‐up may be utilized in the final product. Furnish extra stock of quantity equal to 5% of amount installed, in full size units, for

as will be available for final inspection. Maintain environmental conditions per manufacturer and standards institute
recommendations.

on Drawings. Review the need for sound attenuation mattes under tile floors and under jetted tubs. Provide metal transition and

Use appropriate installation mortars according to ANSI A118‐1999 or A136.1‐1999. Use grout per ANSI A118.3, A118.5, A118.6 or
A118.8‐1999 series or A136.1‐1999. Use waterproofing/Anti Fracture Membrane as required according to ANSI A118.10‐1999.
Refer to TCA Handbook (current) for recommendations on locating, treating and detailing various types of construction joints ‐
Architect must specify/approve type of expansion joints and show location and details on drawings. Use sealant complying with
ASTM C920 to Type, Grade, Class and Uses required. Provide stone threshold trim strips or other edging material where tile
terminates at dissimilar finishes as shown or specified. Prefabricated expansion joints can also be used when suitable for
installation.
F. Tile (Examination/Preparation): Examine substrates where tile will be installed for compliance with requirements for
installation tolerances and other conditions effecting performance of installed tile. Verify that substrates for setting tile are well
cured, structurally sound dry, clean, and free from oil or waxy films, curing compounds or other coatings and surface treatments.
Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. Commencement of work signifies acceptance
of substrate and installation conditions. Prepare and clean substrate in accordance with installation standards and manufacturer's
instructions, removing protrusions/bumps/ridges, repairing cracks/holes/depressions. Floor substrate must be within 1/4" in ten
feet from required plane. Wall substrate must be within 1/4" in ten feet from required plane. Large tiles with narrow joints may
require closer tolerances, such as 1/8" in ten feet. Blend tiles before installing in accordance with reference standards to achieve an
even range and distribution of color and finish.
G. Tile (Installation): Install tile in accordance with ANSI A108 standards, appropriate TCA methods, and written instruction of the
specified manufacturers. Install tiles in the patterns indicated. Align joints when adjoining tiles on floor, base, walls, and trim are
same size. Adjust to minimize tile cutting and to avoid tile less than half size. When possible, smooth cut edges of tile and/or use
appropriate cutter or wet saw to produce smooth cuts. Provide straight cuts which align with adjacent materials. Provide tile joints
uniform in width, subject to variance in tolerance allowed in tile size. Make joints smooth and even, without voids, cracks, or excess
mortar or grout. Use a beating block and hammer or rubber mallet so that faces and edges of individual tiles are flush and level
with faces and edges of adjacent tiles, and to reduce lippage.
H. Tops (Stone/Quartz): Follow MIA (Marble Institute of America) guidelines. Substrates to be suitable, field measure/template in
field, confirm edge profiles with Architect, and confirm spans/support. Provide backsplashes as per Drawings/scopes. Provide joint
fillers as needed. Integrate under‐mount sinks as needed. Follow all shop/fabrication/transport/installation recommendations.
