INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAYING FERRCON DESIGNER TILES
1
Prepare base mortar with cement and sand in the ratio of 1: 4.
2
The total mortar thickness should not be more than 25 mm.
3
Set the levels for the floor i.e., dead level or slope to be specified
4
Prepare cement slurry with cement and water to form a thick paste and spread it on the leveled mortar.
5
Wet the rear side of the tile with water.(Complete immersion of the tile is not necessary)
6
If tiles are square or rectangular in shape, set the right angles for the area and place the first tile along the right angle line on base mortar. Tap gently with a rubber mallet to get perfect level.
7
After laying, immediately clean the surface of the tiles with clean, wet sponge Ensure that the base mortar cement which squeezes through joints does not settle on the tile

DESIRED CONDITIIONS FOR LAYING OF FERROCON DESIGNER PAVERS
1
Set the floor level with wet sand for 50 mm thickness and compact by using Vibrating plate Compacter
2
Keep the sand with moisture content. Do not use sand which is 100%dry.
3
Do not spread the sand for longer areas, as it will dry out and reduce the performance. Use sand of 50mm spreaded properly.
4
Lay the interlocking paver in compacted sand floor and tap gently with a rubber mallet to get perfect joints.
5
Spread river sand on the laid area to fill the joint gaps and run the Vibrating Plate Compactor to get the perfect level.
6
Construct retention wall all-around the laid areas to attest the movement of paver blocks.
7
It is recommended to provide the slope of 3 inches on the wider side and 2 inches on the linear side for every laying area.
