Dry Laying on Grass

On a grassy surface, installation can be done in one of two ways:

On gravel base:

• Remove the grass underneath the 20 mm tile.
• Compact the soil which will come under the tile.
• Fill the excavated area with gravel (sized 4-8 mm) or sand and compact it.
• Lay the dry 20 mm tile over this prepared area.

Direct:

• Place the tile on grass ensuring that a wide gap of 4-5 cm is left between two tiles for fresh grass to grow.
• In the Direct route too, the results are long-lasting, but the tile stability is subjected to soil conditions and movements.

grainOn Sand

Dry Laying on Sand

It is possible to easily create walkways and installations on sandy grounds with minimal effort in one of two ways:

On substrate, allowing the stability to improve gradually:

• Dig about 20 cm in the sandy ground.
• Place crushed stone or gravel layer (size 4-8 mm) and compact it.
• Then add a 2 cm sand layer.
• Dry lay 20 mm tile over this prepared surface.

Directly:

• Level and compact the sane beneath.
• Dry laying the 20 mm tile.

workspacesOn Gravel

Laying on Gravel

Our 20mm tile is a multi-functional solution capable of adapting to the ground, when laid over gravel, it also reduces the occurrence of joints making the surface appear seamless:

• Dig the soil atleast for 10 cm during warm and dry weather or deeper in cold or wet climate.
• Compact the soil at the base and ensure that it is leaning (>=2%) to avoid stagnation of water.
• Place a layer of fine gravel or sand (size 2-5 mm) to achieve a fairly levelled surface.

• With a Straight-Edge, ensure that that the surface is levelled correctly. A minor gradient (>= 1%) is recommended to achieve proper drainage of water.
• Level the surface with a Straight Edge and use a rubber hammer to rectify the minor height differences, if any.

heightRaised Flooring

Outdoor Laying on Raised Flooring

On terraces or accessible aflics, it is possible to build raised level flooring that even allows for rainwater drainage.

After the slab and its sloping screed are complete, install the waterproofing membrane. Position the pedestal according to the desired size and use the slope corrector, if necessary.

During the installation process, correctly adjust each pedestal to achieve a smooth flat floor.
