Tile Data Sheets

[Ajax123]

When I supply products to customers I have a whole heap of datasheets available. The key information sheets give critical details about how Gyvlon screed should and should not be used e.g. crushing resitance, chemical constituents, suitable applications and importantly applications for which it is NOT suitable.

If a tile type is not suitable for UFH for example this seems like critical information that the tiler/client needs in order to make the correct tile selection.

Do such data sheets exist for tiles

hmmmmm!

How does a tiler determine if the materials he is using are actually suitable for a paticular application then?

It should be in their training.

adhesives come as C1, C2 etc etc, screeds come as Cat A, B or C and mortars come as Class 1, 2 and 3 etc. do tiles come with different classifications then so you can look on the packaging and it will say class this or category that?
