01 // PREFACE

The CLASSEN polymer tile was developed

through collaboration between our design

and R & D teams. We wanted to create a

new tile that would be both functional

and beautiful. The result:

A new way of covering walls and floors.

Thanks to the special characteristics of

added value compared to natural stone

and ceramics - and thus the basis for

absolute customer satisfaction. The

CLASSEN polymer tiles, made of mineral

components and environmentally friendly

polymer, look authentic and are absolutely

healthy to live with. Due to their technical

characteristics, they can be used in a

variety of ways and are easy to install.

And they can be completely recycled

and reused.

At our site in the Eifel region of Germany,

the production „made in Germany“ is

low-emission, environmentally friendly

and ecological.

We hope you will be satisfied with CLASSEN

polymer tiles.

04 // AREAS OF APPLICATION

CLASSEN POLYMER TILES ARE PERFECT AS WALL AND FLOOR COVERING IN

DOMESTIC APPLICATIONS FOR BOTH NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION.

TIP: For installation in bathrooms

and shower areas, please read the

instalation instructions in “Applica-

tion in shower and wet areas” on

page 38 - 45.

CLASSEN POLYMER TILES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THESE AREAS.

CLASSEN POLYMER TILES ARE SUITABLE FOR THESE AREAS, AS LONG AS

THE REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.

ATTENTION: When installing

in the conservatory, it must

be openly connected with

the living room and heated

to achieve the same climatic

conditions.

ATTENTION: In case of instal-

lations of heating fireplaces

or tiled stoves, the following

minimum distances from the

stove or stove pipe must be

respected:

Floor to the front: 50 cm

Floor to the side: 30 cm

Distance from wall: 20 cm

ATTENTION: Installations as tile backsplash

behind cooking areas with open flame (gas

stove) are not permitted.

INSTALLATION ON

HOT WATER FLOOR HEATING:

CLASSEN polymer tiles can also be installed on hot water underfloor heating systems.

In this case, the contact temperature of max. 29 °C / 84 °F must not be exceeded.

INSTALLATION ON

ELECTRIC FLOOR HEATING:

CLASSEN polymer tiles can also be installed on electric underfloor heating systems

embedded in the screed. The contact temperature of max. 29 °C / 84 °F must not be

exceeded. Uniform and slow heating must be ensured.

04 // AREAS OF APPLICATION

BATHROOM AND

SHOWER AREA:

BEFORE

CLASSEN polymer tiles should be always

firmly glued. Grouting is not necessary due

to the existing micro joint. For easier insta-

llation, CLASSEN polymer tiles have a tongue

and groove profile. When installing, make

absolutely sure that the tongue and groove

are completely interlocked.

TOOLS

STORAGE

FOR THE INSTALLATION OF CLASSEN POLYMER TILES YOU NEED:

STORING MUST BE DONE UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

-

hammer

-

professional cutter knife

-

set square

-

pencil

-

adhesive spreader

-

sliding bevel gauge

-

The tiles and installation tools (page 17) must be acclimatized for at least

48 hours before installation in the rooms in which they are to be installed,

at a temperature of 18 °C to 23 °C. Ensure that acclimatization does not take

place in direct sunlight. The tiles should be stored in the smallest possible

stacks of no more than 4-5 packages or in cross stacks.

INSTALLATION PATTERN ON THE WALL

05 // PREPARATION

For rectangular walls, mark the center of the wall with the

plumb bob or laser and align the tiles to it. The row of tiles

at the edge should be at least half the width of the tile.

If the entire wall height is to be tiled, start at the bottom

with whole tiles. If you want to tile only up to a certain

height, start with whole tiles at the top at the specified

height and install trimmed tiles in the last row at the

bottom.

For wall edges and columns, always start at the outer

corner with whole tiles and install trimmed tiles in the

inner corners.

For rectangular rooms, stretch a guide line on the floor in

the centre and parallel to the side walls. Align the first row

of tiles with it. Then lay the next tiles along the wall.

If all the tiles are the same size tile the floor first and align

the wall joints accordingly. For adjoining rooms, make

sure the joints are continuous. Place expansion joints just

below the door leaf.

TESTING THE SUBFLOOR

TESTING OF NEW MINERAL AND

ORGANIC SUBFLOORS

TESTING THE EVENNESS

CLASSEN polymer tiles can be installed on almost all subfloors as well as some old

coverings. Basically, a distinction can be made between

- mineral subfloors (e.g. gypsum board, anhydrite screed, ... )

- organic subfloors (OSB boards, plywood boards ... )

- existing old coverings (tiles, parquet).

“The testing of mineral as well as organic subfloors must be conducted in accordance

with DIN 18365 (“Bodenbelagsarbeiten”). This applies to the floor as well as, in the

absence of a corresponding standard, to the wall.

Existing old coverings are not covered by a standard and are discussed below in relation

to the installation of CLASSEN Polymer tiles on walls and floors.”

Please observe the minimum requirements for screeds in DIN 18560 and DIN 18202,

“Toleranzen im Hochbau”.

Condition of the subfloor: The subfloor must be load-bearing, permanently dry, clean,

free of dust, oil and grease, even and rigid. Unevenness of more than 2 mm/m must be

filled or levelled. The individual properties must be checked and documented

in accordance with DIN 18365.

ATTENTION: Unevenness of more than 2 mm/m must be filled or leveled.
