	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** ProSpec (formerly Bonsal) manufacturers of surface preparation products, setting materials, colored tile grouts and tile and stone care and maintenance products. This section is based on the products of Bonsal /ProSpec, which is located at: 8227-C Arrowridge Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28273 Toll Free: (800) 738-1621 Phone: (704) 525-1621 Fax: (704)529-5261 E-mail: Send message to Bonsal/ProSpec (formerly Bonsal) Bonsal American, one of the most trusted manufacturers in concrete and flooring products for both commercial and residential construction, is proud to announce the next evolution in the industry ProSpec, a Sakrete brand. Bonsal American / Oldcastle acquired the Sakrete brand in 2006. Building on the strength of the Sakrete brand, all products are being transitioned under the Sakrete umbrella. ProSpec is the professionally-specified group of products formerly packaged under the Bonsal brand, which included Concrete Restoration and Repair and Tile Installation products. ProSpec is built on the core values that you have come to know and trust with the Bonsal brand. The only difference you'll see is how much easier it is to get the products you need from one source, because the entire ProSpec and Sakrete lines are one simple call away. With ProSpec, you'll get the same level of quality and performance you expect from American products. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER** This specification is organized to allow the specifier to specify either by application system (See APPLICATION SYSTEMS article), or by required individual components.

Interior Tile work exposed to direct sunlight or moisture must follow same guidelines as exterior installations.
	3.4	GROUTING

		B.	Remove grout haze promptly.
		C.	Acid use not permitted without written authorization from material's manufacturer or Architect.
	3.6	PROTECTION
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The following are general recommendations for protection during construction. Specific applications and products may allow tiled areas to be occupied sooner.
		A.	Floors: Protect from all traffic for at least 72 hours after installation.
			1.	Do not step on floor for at least 24 hours; if traffic is unavoidable after that, use plywood stepping boards.
			2.	Protect from heavy traffic for at least 7 days after installation.
			3.	When fast-setting materials are used to allow faster occupancy, comply with the manufacturer's recommendations.
		B.	Walls: Protect from impact, vibration and heavy hammering on adjacent and opposite walls for at least 14 days after installation, unless manufacturer's instructions allow a shorter period.
		C.	Protect from food products and chemicals which can cause staining for at least 14 days.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** When dealing with cement-based products, it should be noted that temperature and humidity during and after installation of tile affect final curing time. That is, low temperatures -- 60 degrees F (15 degrees C) and under -- and high humidity -- 70 percent and above -- will delay final cure time.
		D.	Protect from freezing and total water immersion for at least 21 days after installation.
