Rocko Tiles are intended for installation inside buildings. The product is designed for finishing wall surfaces, both in dry and wet rooms. Correct assembly and proper maintenance will ensure long-term use of the Rocko Tiles. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages caused by incorrect installation or improper assembly conditions.

WALL TILE INSTALLATION – DRY ROOMS
WASTE DISPOSAL
Order 10% more than the installation area to compensate for cuts and waste.

ACCLIMATIZATION REQUIREMENTS 48H

REQUIRED INDOOR CONDITIONS 15°C – 30°C [59°F – 86°F]

DEFINITION OF THE TERM “WATERPROOF”
The structural integrity of the Rocko floor will not be affected by contact with moisture/water.

Acclimatization
Before installation, Rocko tiles must be acclimatized to room temperature in the installation area. The room where the tiles will be installed must have a temperature between 15°C – 30°C [59°F – 86°F]. The Rocko tiles must be stored horizontally on a flat surface in controlled environmental conditions.

Tools for installation / Recommended accessories

• Circular saw with guide bar
• Cutting disc – discs with a sufficient number of teeth are recommended, e.g., ø165mm (56 teeth) and ø350mm (108 teeth)
• Utility knife
• Ruler, measuring tape, pencil
• Spacers, tile leveling clips
• Putty knife, cartridge press
• Broom or vacuum cleaner

• Optional: circular saw, hole drill, hardware, assembly pliers

3. SUPPORT PREPARATION

3.1 SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS

WOOD (PANEL, OSB)
• Wooden supports must be firmly attached to the base structure; Rocko tiles should not be installed on unstable or poorly attached baseboards.
• The support must be load-bearing, dry, clean, and degreased.
• The support must be stable, without cracks, bends, or irregularities.

CONCRETE, BRICK
• Wooden supports must be firmly attached to the base structure; Rocko tiles should not be installed on unstable or poorly attached baseboards.
• Any convexities of the support must be removed by sanding; cavities can be filled with an appropriate filler and then primed.
• The support must be reinforced and matured according to recommendations.

CERAMIC TILES, TERAZZO, STONE
• The existing support must be firmly attached to the base structure; do not install Rocko tiles on unstable or poorly attached tiles.
• The surface of the tiles must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased before applying the adhesive.

3.2. Surface leveling
The support must be leveled with a maximum deviation of 2 mm per 1 meter [0.08″ per 40″]. There should be no irregularities, deflections, or defects.

3.3. Cleaning the support
Clean the wall from dirt and dust and degrease it if you are installing it on a non-absorbent surface. The surface must be smooth and stable.

3.4. Dimensions of the surface
Before starting installation, measure the lengths of the walls where the Rocko tiles will be mounted. Proper planning of the tile layout prevents very narrow elements and allows maintaining proportions.

Cutting Rocko Tiles
Cut the tiles with a circular saw with guidance. For cutting, it is recommended to use discs with a sufficient number of teeth, e.g., ø165 mm (56 teeth) and ø350 mm (108 teeth). Make sure to cut the tile with the decorative surface facing up. If there are electrical outlets or other installation components on the wall surface, cut holes in the tile before installation. Depending on the shape, holes can be cut with a drill or a jigsaw.

Cleaning the surface of the tiles
Clean the cut tiles. The underside of the tiles, where the adhesive will be applied, must be free of dust, dry, and degreased to ensure proper adhesion of the adhesive.

1. Applying adhesive from cartridge / tube / foil pack

APPLYING THE ADHESIVE

Apply the mounting adhesive to the underside of the tile or the wall surface. If using adhesive in a cartridge or foil pack, apply it in vertical stripes at 10 cm intervals. Do not apply adhesive in spots. Apply adhesive around the outline of each cut hole. The bonded surfaces must be joined within 10 minutes of applying the adhesive.

Applying adhesive with a trowel

Apply the mounting adhesive to the underside of the tile or the wall surface. Apply the adhesive to the entire surface of the tile to be glued. Do not apply adhesive in spots. Apply the adhesive with a trowel (C1) of 4x4x4 mm. The bonded surfaces must be joined within 40 minutes of applying the adhesive.

Gluing the tiles to the surface

After applying the adhesive, place the tile on the wall and press it. For optimal adhesion, press the bonding elements so that there is a 2-3 mm ventilation gap between them. This gap will ensure that the adhesive joint is able to permanently accommodate deformation.

Leveling the tiles

After gluing the first tile, place leveling clips – these will allow the expansion gap between tiles (2-3 mm) to be maintained and facilitate surface leveling. After gluing the next tile, level the adjacent surfaces. Do not remove the leveling clips until the adhesive has hardened. Continue assembling the next tiles.

Removing leveling clips and protective film

The adhesive curing speed depends on ambient temperature and humidity (24-48 hours). As the temperature and humidity levels increase, the polymerization process is faster. Ensure proper ventilation until full
