How to Install Rocko Tiles
Installing Rocko Tiles is a straightforward process that can be completed with basic tools. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
1. Acclimate the Tiles:
Store Rocko Tiles in the installation room for at least 48 hours at temperatures between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
2. Prepare the Substrate:
Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free of grease. Depending on the type of substrate (wood, concrete, brick, or old tiles), follow specific preparation steps to ensure a stable base.
3. Cut the Tiles:
Use a circular saw with a guide bar to cut the tiles. Ensure cuts are made with the decorative side facing up.
4. Apply Adhesive:
Clean the back of the tiles and apply adhesive in vertical stripes at 10 cm intervals. Press the tiles firmly against the wall, leaving a ventilation gap of 2-3 mm between tiles.
5. Level the Tiles:
Use leveling clips to maintain even spacing and ensure the tiles are flush with each other.
6. Finish and Clean:
Once the adhesive has set (24-48 hours), remove the leveling clips and clean the surface with Rocko Tiles cleaning fluid.
