A Proven Method for Installing Weathering Course Tiles

9 Steps of ABC Weathering Tile Fixing:

At ABC Ceramic, we specialize in offering high-quality Weathering Course Tiles that not only enhance the aesthetics of your terrace but also provide unmatched protection against extreme climatic conditions. The secret to long-lasting performance lies not just in the tiles but in how they are installed. Our 9-step tile fixing method ensures your weathering tiles are installed with precision and durability in mind.

Whether you're a contractor, architect, or homeowner, understanding these 9 essential steps will help you ensure a leak-proof, insulated, and beautiful rooftop.

Step 1: Surface Cleaning and Preparation

Before laying cool roof tiles, it’s crucial to prepare the surface. The roof slab must be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, grease, oil, or any loose particles. Proper cleaning allows the adhesive and mortar to bond strongly, which is essential for the longevity of weathering tiles. This stage also includes checking for any surface cracks and filling them in advance.

Step 2: Slope Checking

Efficient water drainage is a fundamental requirement for any terrace. Our team checks the roof slope to ensure water flows seamlessly toward the outlets. Improper slopes can lead to water stagnation, which eventually damages the Weathering Course Tiles and underlying surface.

Step 3: Base Layer Application

A mortar mix, usually composed of cement and sand, is prepared and spread evenly as the base layer. This layer acts as the foundation on which the Weather Proof Tiles are fixed. At ABC Ceramic, we use a specific ratio that enhances bonding and sets the perfect stage for tile installation.

Step 4: Curing of Base Layer

Curing the base layer is a non-negotiable step. It allows the mortar to settle and strengthens the surface. We allow adequate curing time to ensure the layer gains its full strength and is free from cracks and shrinkage before the weathering tiles are laid.

Step 5: Tile Soaking

Before installation, our Weathering Course Tiles are soaked in water. This process prevents the tiles from absorbing moisture from the mortar, which can weaken the bond. Soaking also minimizes the chances of cracks due to thermal expansion post-installation.

Step 6: Fixing Tiles

Tiles are laid out precisely using the chalk line method to maintain alignment and spacing. Each tile is pressed gently but firmly into the mortar bed, ensuring maximum contact and grip. The corners are aligned neatly for a uniform finish, which is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality.

Step 7: Joint Filling

Tile joints are filled with a specialized mix that prevents water seepage. This mix also accommodates slight movements due to expansion and contraction, a common issue in weather-exposed areas. Proper joint filling plays a pivotal role in maintaining the life and performance of weathering tiles.

Step 8: Final Curing

Once the Weather Proof Tiles and joints are set, the entire surface undergoes final curing. Water is sprinkled over the tiled surface regularly for a few days to ensure the tiles are firmly bonded and the mortar has cured well. This step helps in preventing tile loosening and enhances durability.

Step 9: Surface Finishing and Cleaning

Finally, the Weather Proof Tiled surface is cleaned thoroughly to remove any mortar residues and dust. We perform a quality check to ensure proper slope, perfect joint sealing, and overall finish. Your terrace is now ready, protected with premium Weathering Course Tiles designed to withstand India’s diverse climate.
