Applying our Vitrified Tile

Every piece of art draws sophistication when used or installed properly. Similarly at Artolika, we believe that to maintain the value of an art, a proper application is important with which the art retains its value until the product lasts

Laying on Substrate

Laying Pattern on a Concrete Wall

Plaster the surface of the wall where the tiles will be laid
with smooth finish and complete the plastering and curing at
least two weeks prior to laying.

Laying Pattern

Laying Pattern Side by Side

Before fixing the tile, lay them out in the desired pattern and make sure that they give an acceptable blend of colour and most important is to check which set matches the upcoming tile which should seamlessly make a proper design.

Tile Adhesive

We at Artolika, always try to maintain outperforming quality which makes our product withstand from any common impairment. to maintain the seamless output we always suggest to use an adhesive that holds our product to the space like a permanent seal.

Adhesive Laying

Laying tile adhesive in an appropriate manner makes the tile poster stick to substrate properly without any obstacle. refer below image for proper laying pattern.

Gluing Installation

Installation is carried out according to the technique of ‘double gluing’ (adhesive on the back of the piece and on the substrate), which ensures perfect adherence and prevents gaps from forming.

Application with trowel on piece.
Combing with toothed trowel on the piece
  • Never apply the adhesive by ‘sticking’ or ‘pinching’ which may cause irregular adhesion.
  • It allows for a greater distribution of stress by ensuring the maximum possible contact surface (> 90 %) between the substrate and the adhesive and the adhesive and the piece.
  • It avoids the formation of efflorescence by preventing the eventual stagnation of rainwater on the surface of the tile.
  • For this reason, in outdoor laying, the possibility of frost formation and breakage due to this effect is avoided.
  • The combing should always be done with a toothed trowel to define its geometry according to the format of the piece, the substrate and the type of adhesive.
  • This ensures adequate adhesive thickness and good distribution along the surface, including perimeters.
