SECTION 093010 – CERAMIC, QUARRY, AND GLASS TILING

A. PURPOSE

1. Provide technical and functional/aesthetic criteria for the selection, installation, and maintenance of ceramic tile. Ceramic tiles include glazed, unglazed, porcelain, quarry, mosaics and pavers.

These standards do not apply to other hard surface products such as stone, resin, conglomerates, etc.

B. GLOSSARY OF TERMS

FA462025R0001

1. Breaking Strength – In order to determine the strength and durability of ceramic tile, a standard test method (ASTM C648) is used to evaluate the tile. A force is applied to an unsupported portion of the tile specimen until breakage occurs. The ultimate breaking strength is then recorded in pounds. The ANSI standard requires an average breaking strength of 250 lbs. for floor tile.

2. Ceramic Mosaic Tile – Tile formed by either the dust-pressed or plastic method, usually ¼ to 3/8 inch thick, having a facial area of less than six square inches. May be of either porcelain or natural clay composition and they may be either plain or with an abrasive mixture throughout.

3. Coefficient of Friction – This is a term used in physics to describe the amount of force required to cause an object to start moving across a surface. Tiles are tested for coefficient of friction in accordance with ASTM C-1028. A quantitative value can be determined to generally express the relative degree of slip resistance. A higher coefficient indicates increased resistance. Although there is no current ANSI requirement, a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.50 (wet and dry) is the recognized industry standard for a slip-resistant flooring surface. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also recommends this same standard for walking surfaces. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) recommends a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.60 (wet and dry) for accessible routes and 0.80 for ramps.

4. Durability Classification (Abrasion Resistance) – Glazed ceramic and porcelain tile normally carry a durability class rating. Although there are no official industry standards, most manufacturers give their tile a rating number from I to IV+, according to the results of the Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) abrasion test. The Porcelain Enamel Institute rating is not a measurement of quality. It is a scale that clearly indicates the areas of use each manufacturer recommends and has designed their tile to fit.

Rating Traffic Recommended Applications

Class I No Foot Traffic interior residential and commercial wall

Class II Light Traffic interior residential and commercial wall; residential bathroom floor

Class III Light/Moderate residential floor and wall

Class IV Moderate/ Heavy Traffic residential, medium commercial and light institutional floor and wall

Class IV+ Heavy/Extra Heavy Traffic residential, commercial and institutional floor and wall;

subjected to heavy/extra heavy traffic

5. Glazed Tile – Tile with fused impervious facial finish composed of ceramic material, fused to the body of the tile that may be non-vitreous, semi-vitreous, vitreous or impervious.

6. Paver Tile – Glazed or unglazed porcelain or natural clay tile formed by the dust-pressed method having a facial area of six square inches or more.

7. Porcelain Tile – A ceramic mosaic or paver tile that is generally made by the dust-pressed method of composition resulting in a tile that is dense, impervious and fine grained.

8. Quarry Tile – Glazed or unglazed tile, made by the extrusion process from natural clay or shale usually having a facial area of six square inches.

9. Scratch Hardness (MOH’s Hardness) – The relative hardness of glazed tile is an important issue that should be addressed when selecting tile. Scratch resistance of glazes is measured by scratching the surface of the tile with different minerals and assigning a “MOH’s Scale Hardness” number to the glaze, the softest mineral used is talc (a rating of 1) and the hardest is a diamond (a rating of 10 if no scratch). Most glazes used on ceramic tile fall in the five to six range, which is also slightly harder than most steels. Case-hardened steel, such as what is used in drill bits, is

FA462025R0001

approximately six and will scratch most glazes. Quartz, number 7 on the MOH’s scale, will scratch most glazes (sand is a common example of natural quartz).

10. Tile – A ceramic surfacing unit, usually relatively thin in relationship to facial area, made from clay or a mixture of clay and other ceramic materials, called the body of the tile, having either a glazed or unglazed face and fired above red heat in the course of manufacturing to a temperature sufficiently high to produce specific physical properties and characteristics.

11. Unglazed Tile – A hard, dense tile of uniform composition throughout, deriving color and texture from the materials of which the body is made.

12. Water Absorption – ASTM C-373 is the test method for classifying ceramic tile by the percent of its water absorption. Individual tiles are weighed, saturated with water, and then weighed again.

The percent difference between the two conditions is referred to as the water absorption.

Although this test is used to evaluate water absorption of glazed and unglazed product, it can also be a good indicator to predict the stain resistance of the unglazed tiles. Generally, for unglazed tiles, the lower the water absorption, the greater the stain resistance.

a. Impervious - Tiles exhibiting 0.5% or less

b. Vitreous - Tiles exhibiting more than 0.5% but not more than 3.0%

c. Semi-Vitreous - Tiles exhibiting more than 3.0% but not more than 7.0%

d. Non-Vitreous - Tiles exhibiting more than 7.0%

C. LOCATION

1. Tile is appropriate for all areas which may be subject to high foot traffic, wetness, and require the need for increased durability, e.g., dining facilities, kitchens, break rooms, restrooms, entry lobbies, floors and or walls, etc.

D. SELECTION

1. Technical criteria: Select tile based on the performance criteria appropriate for the functional use of the space. There are five properties of ceramic tile to consider: Coefficient of Friction, Durability Classification or PEI, Scratch Hardness, Breaking Strength and Water Absorption.

Select tiles with the following properties:

a. Coefficient of Friction: Floor tile shall have a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.60 (wet and dry) or higher in accordance with ASTM C-1028. Standing water and other contaminants create slippery conditions for any hard surface floor material. Floor applications with exposure to these conditions require extra caution in the tile selection. Use abrasive grains or raised textured tile for greater traction in areas with the possibility of standing water or grease build up.

b. Durability Classification: Floor tile shall be Class IV—Heavy Traffic, durability classification as rated by the manufacturer when tested in accordance with ASTM C-1027 for abrasion resistance as related to foot traffic. Class III can be considered for residential installations.

c. Scratch Hardness: Glazed floor tile shall have a scratch hardness of 6.0 or higher. Do not use glazed tile in areas of high abuse where possible tile breakage may occur. Avoid high gloss or polished tiles for areas with high traffic; use only as accents in floor patterns.

d. Breaking Strength: Tile shall be impact resistant with a minimum breaking strength of 250 lbs in accordance with ASTM C-648.

e. Water absorption: Use only vitreous or impervious tile for most applications in accordance with ASTM C-373.

2. Functional/Aesthetic Criteria: Some products work better in certain functional areas than others.

The pattern, texture, and color or combination of colors will greatly influence the overall appearance of tile. Consider the amount of cleaning and maintenance required when selecting particular tiles and grouts.

FA462025R0001

a. Slip resistance: This is a major factor in the selection of tiles for kitchens and entrance lobbies. There are numerous products that have slip-resisting features for lobbies. Unglazed quarry tile works best for commercial kitchen floor installations. Because of the possibility of water and grease spillage, unglazed tile must be sealed in kitchens.

b. Color: Recommend tile with through-color, that is, color the entire thickness of the tile body.

Avoid solid color tiles unless they are designed into a pattern. Avoid light-colored quarry tile in commercial kitchens. Colors and patterns shall be approved by the Government.

c. Texture: Tiles with a textured surface and an interesting variation of colors will tend to show less surface soiling.

d. Grout: Select medium to dark pigmented grouts. Light grouts tend to change color and trap soil over a period of time. Minimize the visibility of grout by using larger-sized tile.

e. Base: Use a matching tile base in commercial kitchens and other areas subject to excessive water. In other locations, wood or vinyl base may be appropriate. Ensure that there is an aesthetical transition between tile/wood bases and vinyl bases as you progress from one area to another.

E. INSTALLATION

1. Tile: Install tile in accordance with the appropriate ANSI A108/ANSI A118/136-1999 Specifications for the Installation of Ceramic Tile as per manufacturer’s instructions.

a. Provide transition strips wherever the tile meets another floor material to avoid damage to the tile edges and ensure that there are no accessibility issues.

b. Provide trim tile like bull nose at wall edge transitions.

c. Mockup: Provide 4 ft. by 8 ft. sample panels of tile construction (floor and wall) for evaluation and establishing workmanship expectations. Panels shall be used for evaluation of subsequent tile work for the specific project. Panels shall be removed upon direction of the Government.

2. Grout: Ceramic tile grout shall be prepared and installed in accordance with ANSI A108.10.

Follow grout manufacturer’s recommendations as to grouting procedures and precautions.

a. Take special care, especially when grouting with dark pigmented colors, to clean all of the grout from the tile during installation. A grout release is recommended to prevent finely powdered pigments from lodging in the pores of the tile surface. Epoxy grouts are recommended for kitchens, showers and rest rooms.

3. Sealant: Some tiles and grouts do not require sealant, but others require multiple coats of sealant at the time of installation. Do not apply sealant to glazed tile, but unglazed tile must be sealed.

a. Apply sealant to the tile and grout in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Perform acceptance tests per manufacturer’s recommendations before accepting the completed installation. Some sealants may also require reapplication several times a year. Application of silicone sealer may be required for maximum protection.

b. Obtain the tile manufacturer’s guidelines for recommended cleaning agents. Ensure that the occupant receives the care information in the form of an Operations & Maintenance Manual.

Include information regarding requirements for reapplication of sealants.

F. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Clean and maintain floor tile according to the manufacturer’s recommendations without being excessive. Obtain specific information on the product used from the tile distributor, contractor or installer. Provide Operations Engineering Service Contracts Element (92 CES/CEOE) with appropriate cleaning and care instructions so this information can be incorporated into base custodial contracts.

FA462025R0001

2. Cleaning: Establish a regular schedule for routine cleaning of tile floors to remove day-to-day dust and other “normal” accumulations (food crumbs, boot and shoe marks, etc.). This includes (but is not limited to) sweeping, dusting, light vacuuming and washing.

a. Identify and remove stains and spillage immediately. Under normal situations, most tile can be easily cleaned using clear water with a manufacturer’s recommended tile cleaner. Always follow up with a rinse of clean water.

b. Do not use undiluted bleach or harsh/abrasive cleaning agents as they can scratch the surface of the tile or degrade the finish surface of either tile or grout. Do not combine ammonia with any bleach as this creates a toxic substance.

c. Tile with coarse or abrasive type surfaces requires more frequent performance of cleaning and/or maintenance. More vigorous agitation with more frequent changes of water is necessary.

3. Maintenance: Maintain the tile on a regular and frequent basis to prevent buildup of soil, grease, residue, soap, detergents, sealers, dampness, liquids, etc., which may reduce the static coefficient of friction, and reduce the aesthetic appearance of the tile.

a. Do not apply waxes or floor polish to ceramic tile floors unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer. Wax cleaner, oil-based detergents and sealants may decrease the slip resistance of ceramic tile. They also have the tendency to attract and trap dirt when not completely removed during the cleaning process.

b. In cases where waxing is recommended, ensure that old wax is stripped according to manufacturer’s recommendations before new wax is applied.

c. Follow manufacturer’s directions when buffing is recommended as a maintenance procedure.

Do not buff excessively, or use coarse buffing pads, as this may cause a permanent burn to the surface of the tiles.

d. Use protective padding to prevent damage when moving any heavy equipment or sharp-edged items over the tile (e.g., moving furniture into a building, bringing in carts of musical instruments for a performance at a club, etc.). This is especially important when tile is used as stair treads.
