NOTE TO THE SPECIFIER AND INSTALLER: While installing tile/stone on the external walls and floors, we need to provide the joints by creating spaces between the tiles/stones and filling them up with MYK Laticrete Stellar Grout OR LATICRETE® cement based grout mixed with L1776 grout admix plus OR silicone sealants. In the absence of spacer joints, the surface movements can push tiles/stones away from the substrate causing de-bonding of tiles or stones. It is important to note that the exterior tile / stone installations are provided with joints (spaces) on the periphery of the area without allowing the tile / stone to be bound by the peripheral masonry work or plaster. It is also important to note that the tiles/stones are not installed directly on expansion joints. The expansion joints need to be run through the tile / stonework till top surface and filled with materials which accommodate the movements.
