- Demolitions: Demolish everything within the areas to be renovated. This includes floor and wall tiles, electrical installation, water, sewer and vent piping, existing plumbing fixtures, windows, doors, necessary partitions, and everything that may interfere with the construction of the new bathroom facilities.

- Floor: Remove existing tiles and provide new grès tiles of minimum dimension 40x40 cm, sloped towards a new floor drain. Do not install the new floor tiles over the existing tiles. This is specially important in the areas with low ceiling. Provide supporting base as necessary and recommended by the manufacturer. All floor shall be at the same elevation. Provide non slippery tiles, sloped towards floor drains (one for each room) to be connected with the new sewer piping system. Install floor tiles diagonally with respect to the walls.

Grès Porcelain stoneware is a ceramic with a compact, hard, colored and non-porous body. The word “grès” means that the ceramic body of the tile is extremely vitrified, that is to say compact, hence the exceptional great resistance. The result is a lean clay body, little refractory, fired in a kiln (at 1200-1400 C°) until it reaches a non-porous vitrification and a complete water-proofing.

Provide wall base with special wall trim pieces similar to the floor tiles. Cutting floor tiles to be used as wall base is not acceptable.

- Partitions for new layout: If applicable. New partitions that may be required by new layout shall be made of thin masonry wall, not wider than 20 cm. Cover all surfaces with new ceramic tiles as with the rest of the walls. It is also estimated that new false walls will need to be built in several areas to hide the water tanks for the toilets and the piping installation.
