Tile floor:
The floor whose topping is of tiles is called tile floor. The tiles used may be of any desired quality, colr, shape or thickness.
Method of construction:
For constructing a tile floor, the base course is prepared in the same manner as in case of brick flooring.Over the base course thus prepared, a thin layer of lime or cement mortar is spread with the help of screed battens. Then the screeds are properly levelled and fixed at the correct height. When the surface mortar has hardened sufficiently, the specified tiles are laid on a 6 mm thick bed of wet cement mortar.(1:5). The surplus mortar which comes out of the joints is cleaneed off. After 3 days, the joints are well rubbed a carborundum stone so as to smoothen the surface, specially the edges.
