What, why and how..

Choosing the perfect type of

flooring to your city apartment or
your office or your beach house is a
different type of story considering
you didn’t leave the country so
these are factors that based on
them we choose our floors.
Factors affecting
material selection
● Where it will be used (
residential, wet area, office, open
air..)
● Who will use it ( extra durability
needed, pets, kids..)
● What is the budget (cost for
quality )
● How will it be installed ( Local/
international contractor..)
● What is the maintenance plan (
cleaning methods..)

WHY WOOD
, WHY NOT? Wood has been used as a flooring
material long time ago. a type that
manufactured from timber which is
either structural or aesthetic. A
common choice due to its durability,
restorability and environmental
benefit.

• Don’t use any acidic substances for cleaning but it’s cleaned by
hot water and a sponge for daily cleaning.

• Dust mop interior floors frequently using a clean, non-treated,

dry dust mop. Sand, dirt and grit do the most damage to natural
stone surfaces due to their abrasiveness.

 CERAMIC TILES:

Ceramic tiles are created made from a mixture

of red and/or white clay, sand and other
natural substances. The mixture is molded in
the desired shape and size and then fired in
kilns at very high temperatures. The
resulting material is durable, tough, dense
and water resistant. These are then
decorated. Ceramic tiles are difficult to stain,
easy to clean and their color doesn’t fade
easily.

 INSTALLATION
THERE ARE MANY WAYS:
TILE ADHESIVE:Through this method, installation is made using porcelain adhesive glue with a
thickness of not less than 5 mm under the porcelain over a pour of concrete
PROS:It is the thickness of the finishing that reaches the thickness of only 5 cm ... 3 cm concrete +
5 mm -1 cm glue + 1 cm thickness of porcelain.
Fast installation
CONS:High prices for used materials
Dependence of the inclinations of porcelain on the inclinations of the concrete cast
SAND-CEMENT MIX:Sand cement composes of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and sand.
OPC is used for rendering and masonry while sand is normally river sand, which is hard to control
grain size, cleanliness, and quality.
Porcelain is installed by using a cement mixture with a thickness of not less than 4-5 cm over a
sand bed of not less than 5 cm in thickness.
PROS :Gives flexibility on the surfaces on which it is installed.
CONS:1- Porcelain will be subject to stress of shrinkage of the cement mixture underneath and it is
possible for cracks
2- The high thickness of the finishing layer, reaches more than 15 cm
LOCAL METHOD: Porcelain is installed with cement mortar, but the mortar must be fermented
with a mixture of water and Addibond in a ratio of 1: 1.
The necessity to use a water scale when installing porcelain

Maintenance of
porcelain tiles
● General cleaning techniques of
porcelain and ceramic tile
depend on the surface, texture
and condition of the surface.
● Water and a soft sponge will
usually be enough to clean the
surface of porcelain products. If
you clean with something
other than water, however, a
neutral pH cleaner that will not
affect the finish.
 Maintenance based on the
texture
Glazed Tiles
Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the
floor. An untreated dry dust mop is recommended
instead of a broom.
Mop the floor with a mild cleaning solution (do not
use wax, oil-based, or abrasive cleaners).
Rinse the tile thoroughly with clean and clear
water.
Drying is also recommended – to increase the
shine and to prevent water spots.
Textured Tiles
A textured porcelain tile surface requires additional cleaning
procedures
Sweep or vacuum dust and debris from the floor. Use a soft-bristle
broom and sweep in two directions. First follow the direction of the
tile and then sweep diagonally.
Saturate the tile with a neutral cleaning solution, such as vinegar,
with hot water and stir. Allow it to remain on the floor for 5–10
minutes. Scrub the floor with a brush once more using a two-
direction method.
Rinse the floor with clean, clear water to remove the cleaning
solution.

 Cement
Mosaic
Cement tiles are one of the most popular materials
on the market today. They wow with their many
beautiful patterns and colors, and impress with their
nearly unmatched durability and longevity. From
floors to walls, cement tiles come with many benefits
that outlast both ceramic tiles and hardwood floors.
 DESCRIPTION

Mosaic floor tiles are also known as terrazzo tiles. The main raw
materials used for the manufacture are cement concrete and colored
stone chips. The tiles are used for flooring of both residential and
commercial buildings. The top surface of the tiles is decorated with
marble stone chips of various colors with suitable addition of cement
color.

How They Are Made

Cement tiles are made from a mixture of sand, cement, color
pigment, and a marble powder that is poured into metal molds,
backed by a dry concrete mixture, and then compressed under
2,000 pounds of pressure. Cement tiles have high thermal mass,,
acting as excellent insulators for your family’s comfort and your
home’s energy bills.

 INSTALLATION
METHOD
Step 1 :

- Apply the adhesive evenly on the surface

the tile is being laid on, using a large-toothed comb trowel. Also apply adhesive on the
back of the tile.

- Position the tiles with your hands – without hammering – leaving a thin gap (1 or 2 mm,
thickness of a filling-knife) for the joint. A thicker gap should be used with under-floor
heating and outdoor installation (min 2mm).

- Once the tiles are installed and the cement adhesive dry, clean the surface by scrubbing
it and clear with water. It will remove the thin layer of pigmented dust that can still cover
the tiles.
 GROUNTING
METHOD
Step 2 :

- Never use dyed or dark grout, the pigments

of grout fillers can penetrate the pores of the tiles and cause irreversible stains. Ideally use white
or natural grey.

- Humidify the tiles with a moist sponge before grouting, this will limit the risk of staining and
facilitate applying the grout.

- Fill the gap between the tiles using a filling-knife, without spreading the grout on tiles.

- The grout surplus must be cleaned immediately with a wet cloth/sponge. Never use acid (cement
dissolver) to remove the excess or stains of grout.
 TREATEMENT WITH
SEALER
Step 3 :

- Mosaic Sealer is a solvent-based sealer that limits

water and oil penetration.

- Mosaic Sealer impregnates the tile, reduces its porosity and keeps its natural matte aspect.

- It must be applied with a brush or a roller on a dry and clean surface. One or more successive
applications until the tile is saturated. You may buff with a fine cloth to give it an even distribution.

- Do not apply too much. The excess would leave glistening stains on the surface (brush traces).
- Always try the sealer on a loose tile before applying it on the entire surface, in order to measure
the grade of absorption of the tiles.
 CEMENT MOSAIC TILES TYPES
Regular Mosaic Tile Face

the aggregate in the regular mosaic in it is aggregate and the color of

the aggregate tends to be brown in degrees. It is used in the floors of
mosques, apartments and villas that want to cover the floors
completely with carpets and rugs, in addition to the bottom of the Tile Back
floors "HDF, parquet."

Mosaic Breaking Marble

It is made up of crushed marble or fractured graphite, and the underside of the cement and
the aggregate on the upper face may be aggregate or basalt aggregate or others. The
material used to connect the aggregate with each other on the upper face is white cement
and quartz, and the main benefit of quartz is to prevent dry cracking

 MAINTENANCE AND
TREATMENT

● Avoid using detergent because it can leave a

residue on the tile that is difficult to clean and can
attract dirt and debris.
● Wash cement tiles weekly to monthly with water
and mild pH-neutral soap to buff away any dried
residue.
● One simple way to maintain cement tiles is to place
mats near entrances to prevent the wear and tear of
heavy footwear and usage.You can organize your
ideas clearly.
● cement tiles can be refinished with a fine grit (e.g.
600) wet-dry sandpaper to remove a micro top layer
to reveal a fresh layer of pigment below the surface.
