Quartz Tile Installation Video

The tile floor in the penthouse bathroom is being installed in this segment. The tile is a manmade product from Turkey call Sim Stone and has been installed over a dry mix. The tiles were buttered with thin set mortar using a notched trowel and laid into the two-inch thick Portland cement substrate. Sim Stone tiles are a composite product made in Turkey. They are similar to ceramic tiles but with a high quartz content. They are appropriate for use in kitchens and bathrooms, as they are almost impenetrable to liquids and staining.
