Installation Guidlines

Laying over an existing floor

RAK Slim is the ideal material to cover the surfaces of original floor coverings in the home or in commercial premises subject to light pedestrian traffic.

  • Leave joints of at least 2 mm in width when laying a single size and, obligatorily, 3 mm when laying a combination of both sizes.
  • Substrate: check that the surfaces are perfectly flat, and level them if necessary.
  • Use adhesives for porcelain stoneware, choosing the most suitable type on the basis of the type of substrate.

Method of installation

  • Spread a continuous film of adhesive on the floor using a 6 mm angled tooth spatula.
  • Apply adhesive to the rear of the tile with a 3 mm flat tooth spatula.
  • Once the tile has been positioned, tap all over the surface with a rubber spatula to maximise the anchorage.

Installation on walls

RAK Slim can be used as a wall covering in the home and public buildings, both indoors and outdoors.

This material is ideal for installation over existing wall coverings or to create completely new wall coverings.

  • For wall coverings leave joints of at least 1 mm in width.
  • Substrate: check that the surfaces are perfectly flat, and level them if necessary.
  • Use adhesives for porcelain stoneware, choosing the most suitable type on the basis of the type of substrate.

Method of installation

  • Spread a continuous film of adhesive on the wall using a 4 mm notched spatula.
  • Offer the tile up to the wall.
  • Tap all over the surface of the tile with a rubber spatula to ensure it is perfectly anchored to the substrate.
