inches), increased to provide positive slopes to drains. 3. Use with reinforcing over cleavage or waterproof membranes. 4. Tile in depressed slab areas may also be set in dryset or latexPortland cement mortar over "setup" mortar fills. 5. 75 mm (3 inches) depressed slabs are required for floor mortar beds. 6. For existing areas where floors cannot be cut for depressed mortar beds and a waterproof membrane is required, consider an elastomeric bond coat over an elastomeric membrane with waterproof isolation membrane system option. 7. Note requirement for drying period (14 to over 60 days) for latexPortland cement mortar setting beds. Latex (except acrylic) will re-emulsify if exposed to water when not thoroughly dry. Do not use latex-Portland cement in water pools. 8. Coordinate to show on drawing, details of each different method of setting at wall, cap strip and base. Show details and extent of expansion joints, waterproofing, and location of areas to be sloped and differences in elevation of floors, top of drains, curbs, and similar features. 9. Clearly define, or show on drawings, where each different setting method is to be used if not clearly defined in Section 09 06 00, SCHEDULE FOR FINISHES finish schedule remarks. 10. For design of various systems see Tile Council of America Inc., "Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile Installation." 11. Thinset tile can only follow slope of subfloor or contour of walls as only a minimum amount of adjustment can be made. 12. Do not install building expansion joints in ceramic tile floors over waterproof membranes. C. Installing Mortar Beds for Floors: 1. Install mortar bed to not damage waterproof or isolation membrane; 32 mm (1-1/2 inch) minimum thickness. 2. Install floor mortar bed reinforcing centered in mortar fill. 3. Screed finish to level plane or slope to drains where shown, float finish.
