    Building Workshop No. 3


    Task 1: Wall Tiling (3 X 3 pieces)
    Task 2: Floor Tiling (4 X 4 pieces)
    Learning Outcomes
    Upon completion of this building workshop, students shall be able to perform wall and floor
    tiling using the correct practices and resources.
    Materials and Tools
    Tiles, 2 buckets with cement in the volume of ¾ bucket, sufficient amount of water, 3 wooden
    floats, 1 angle square, 2 spirit levels, 2 groove trowels, 2 scrapers, sufficient amount of lime
    grout.
    Procedures
    1) Fill in and submit the marking scheme provided to the staff in- charge before the start of
    each Building Workshop.
    2) Gather the required materials and tools.

    Mixing of screed (30 minutes)

    3) Use the brick trowel to mix the cement and water in the bucket.
    4) Add come water, not too much as it is easier to add more water later, if needed. Mix all
    together.
    5) Keep mixing until the screed become sticky paste.
    Wall tiling (30 minutes)
    6) Soak the tiles in the water to reduce the suction of water before they are placed in position.
    7) Use an angle square, spirit level and chalk to draw grid lines on the timber board which
    serves as a wall to guide the tiling pattern.
    8) Use wooden floats to provide temporary support for wall tiling.
    9) Begin tiling from the horizontal based upwards.
    10) Use groove trowels to butter a layer of screed at the back of tiles which are then pressed or
    tapped into position. Thickness of the screed shall be about 10mm.
    11) Use spirit level to check that the individual times are going up accurately both horizontally
    and vertically.
    12) For small tiles on a stable background, a minimum joint if 2mm between the tiles must be
    provided to allow a degree of micro- movement.
    Floor tiling (30 minutes)
    13) Set out the tiling pattern directly on the floor with gridlines drawn to give an accurate guide.
    14) Use grove trowels to render the floor surface with screed to a thickness of 10mm.
    15) Then press or tap the lightly buttered times to the rendered floor surface. Begin tiling from
    the horizontal base upwards.
    16) Repeat steps 11 to 12 as indicated in the wall tiling procedures.
    Grouting of joints (30 minutes)
    17) When the tiles have set, use a scraper to press the lime grout into the joints, making sure
    that no voids are left in either the horizontal or vertical joints.
    18) Use a sponge to wipe off the excess grouting and remove any debris from the tiles surface.
    Housekeeping (30 minutes)
    19) Upon completion the works within the given time, staff in charge will allocate marks for
    the quality of work in the marking scheme.
    20) Lastly, group members are required work together for the housekeeping in the workshop.
    21) Remove the mortar and plaster into the plastic bags provided. Use wire brush to wash and
    clean all the unused tools and return them to the original places.
    22) Staff in charge will allocate marks for the housekeeping in the marking scheme.
    23) The marking scheme will be returned to the students for binding and submission together
    with their group reports.
    Expected Quality of Work
    The completed wall and floor tiling shall be levelled and vertical with uniform screed thickness.
    Joints to the wall and floor tiling shall be clear and consistent.
    Question for Discussion
    1) Identify the different types of wall finishes available for brickwork construction and discuss
    their respective characteristics and best suited situation and location within a building.
    2) Identify the different type of floor finishes available for concrete floor construction and
    discuss their respective characteristics and best suited situation within a building.
