MATERIALS
White Glazed Tiles : The tiles shall be of

approved and shall generally conform to

IS : 777.
They shall be flat and true to shape and
free from cracks, blisters, welts, crawling,
crazing spots, chipped edges, corners or
other imperfections detracting from their
appearance.
The tiles shall be of square or rectangular
of nominal sizes such as 300x200mm,
150x150mm, 100x100mm.
Samples of tiles shall be got approved by

PREPARATION OF SURFACE & LAYING

Sub grade concrete or RCC slab or side

brick wall/ or plastered surfaces on which

tiles are to be laid shall be cleaned, wetted
and mopped.
The bedding/backing for the tile shall be of
C.M. 1.3 or as specified and shall be applied
and allowed to harden.
The mortar shall be roughened with wire
brushes or by scratching diagonal lines
1.5mm. deep at 7.5mm.
dado shall be truly horizontal and joints
truly vertical.

MORTAR AND BEDDING

Cement

mortar shall conform to the

specification for materials, preparations
etc. as specified under cement mortar.
The amount of water added while
preparing mortar shall be the minimum
necessary to give sufficient plasticity for
laying.
Care shall be taken in preparation of the
mortar to ensure that there are no hard
lumps that would interfere with even
bedding of the tiles.
The mortar of specified proportion and

FIXING TILES FOR DADO

The dado work, shall be done only after fixing

the tiles/slabs on the floor.

The approved white glazed tiles before laying
shall be soaked in water for at least 2 hours.
Tiles shall be fixed when the cushioning mortar
is still plastic and before it gets very stiff.
The back of the tile shall be covered with this
layer of cement mortar 1:2 using fine sand
(table III, zone IV, I.S. 383-1963) and the edge
of the tile smeared with neat white cement
slurry.
The tile shall then be pressed in the mortar and
gently tapped against the wall with a wooden
mallet.

The fixing shall be done from bottom of wall upwards

without any hollows in the bed of joints.

Each tile shall be as close as possible to one
adjoining.
The tiles shall be jointed with white cement slurry.
Any thickness difference in the thickness of the tiles
shall be arranged out in cushioning mortar so that all
tiles faces are in one vertical plane.
The top of the dado shall be touched up neatly with
the rest of the plaster above.
After fixing the dado/skirting etc. they shall be kept
continuously wet for 7 days.
If doors, windows or other openings are located within
the dado area, the corners, sills, jambs etc. shall be
provided with true right angles without any specials.

CLEANING
After the tiles have been laid in a room or the

days fixing work is completed, the surplus

cement grout that may have come out of the
joints shall be cleaned off before it sets.
After the complete curing, the dado or skirting
over shall be washed thoroughly clean.
In the case of flooring, once the floor has set, the
floor shall be carefully washed clean and dried.
When dry, the floor shall be covered with oil free
dry saw dust.
It shall be removed only after completion of the
construction work and just before the floor is
used.

MODE OF MEASUREMENT
Dado/flooring/skirting shall be measured in

sqm. correct to two places of decimal.

Length and breadth shall be measured
correct to 1 cm.
Between the exposed surfaces of skirting or
dado. No deductions shall be made nor
extra paid for any opening of area up to 0.1
sqm.
The rate shall include all the cost of labour
and materials involved.

Rate Analysis for Dado

Rate Analysis for 10 sq-m
The quantity of white-glazed tile is worked out by
assuming 1 mm on either side for thickness in joint
& tolerance in size of tiles. Thus, no of white-gazed
tiles
= 10/(0.152X0.152)
= ~ 432 tiles
