INSTALLATION OF THE XXL-TILES
IN PRINCIPLE, CLASSEN POLYMER TILES ARE INSTALLED IN EXACTLY
THE SAME WAY AS OTHER TILES IN THESE FORMAT SIZES. HOWEVER,
THERE ARE TWO MAJOR DIFFERENCES:
CLASSEN POLYMER TILES ARE ALWAYS FIRMLY GLUED TO THE WALL.
THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO CONNECT TWO TILES:
1. DIRECT JOINING OF THE TILES DURING GLUING.
2. BY GROUTING
TIP: To ensure that the tiles are joined at the long edge without any height
off set, stick an approx. 10 cm thick stainless steel strip vertically to the wall in the
joint area. This makes the subfloor absolutely even. Then press and glue the tiles
onto this.
1.
CLASSEN polymer tiles do not have
a tongue and groove profile, but a
square edge.
2.
The size of the polymer tiles on the
one hand speeds up installation, on
the other hand it requires special care
when working and gluing.
