\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

## 2.1 TILE

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Unglazed ceramic tile with low absorption rates are easier to
maintain because they are more resistant to staining. They do not
readily absorb grease, food or beverage spills, or other staining
agents.

A minimum coefficient of friction of 0.50 (wet and dry) is the
recognized industry standard for a slip-resistant flooring surface. The
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) recommends a minimum coefficient
of friction of 0.60 (wet and dry) for accessible routes and 0.80 (wet
and dry) for ramps.

The basic durability classifications for floors are as follows:

Class 0 - Generally not recommended for use on floors.

Class I - Light Traffic, residential bathroom floors.

Class II - Medium-Light Traffic, residential interiors except kitchens,
stairs, landings, and areas near exterior entries.

Class III - Medium-Heavy Traffic, all residential applications and
similar commercial applications except areas of prevalent circulation or
turning points.

Class IV - Heavy Traffic, all residential and most commercial
applications such as public areas of exhibition halls, shops, and
schools.

Class IV Plus - Extra Heavy Traffic; walkways, food service, etc., or
where extra wear is required.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

# PART 3 EXECUTION

## 3.1 PREPARATORY WORK AND WORKMANSHIP

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: When using the dry-set method to install tile on concrete or
masonry surfaces, Section 03 31 00.00 10 CAST-IN-PLACE STRUCTURAL
CONCRETE and Section 04 20 00 MASONRY, as applicable, will be
coordinated to require (1) steel trowel and fine broom-finished concrete
floors free of curing compounds and waxes, (2) masonry surfaces that are
level and plumb with struck joints and square openings.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Inspect surface to receive tile in conformance to the requirements of
ANSI A108.1 for surface conditions and for workmanship. Provide
variations of tiled surfaces that fall within maximum values shown
below:

TYPE WALLS

Organic Adhesives 1/8 inch in 8 ft.

Latex Portland Cement Mortar 1/8 inch in 8 ft.

## 3.2 GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Do not start tile work until roughing in for mechanical and electrical
work has been completed and tested. Apply tile in colors and patterns as
approved by the Resident Engineer. Install tile with the respective
surfaces in true even planes to the elevations and grades shown. Provide
special shapes as required for sills, jambs, recesses, offsets, external
corners, and other conditions to provide a complete and neatly finished
installation. Solidly back tile bases and coves with mortar.

## 3.3 INSTALLATION OF WALL TILE

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: This paragraph covers three different methods of installing tile
on walls: the mortar bed method W211, W221, W222, W231, and W241; direct
to masonry with dry-set mortar W202; and the organic adhesive method
W223, and W242, 243 or 244. See TCA Hdbk for detailed guidance.

General guidance is as follows:

The mortar bed method or cementitious backer board method will be used
for all prolonged wet areas such as showers. Ceramic tile over gypsum
board will be used only in dry areas.

Dry-set mortar applied direct to masonry is suitable for all but
prolonged wet areas such as showers.

The organic adhesive method will be limited to dry areas and will
generally be used over gypsum wallboard.

Where more than one method is used for the same project, care must be
taken to ensure that the drawings clearly indicate the various
substrates and where each method is used. Where only one method is used
on a project, clearly specify that method only.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Install wall tile in accordance with the TCA Hdbk, thinset method

### 3.3.1 Organic Adhesive

Conform to ANSI A108.1 for the organic adhesive installation of ceramic
tile.

## 3.4 CLEANING AND PROTECTING

Upon completion, thoroughly clean tile surfaces in accordance with
manufacturer\'s approved cleaning instructions. Do not use acid for
cleaning glazed tile. After the grout has set, provide a protective coat
of a non-corrosive soap or other approved method of protection for tile
wall surfaces.

NOTE: This Guide Specification is used in the preparation of project
specifications for Department of Defense facilities:

1\. Buildings;

2\. Related mechanical, electrical, and miscellaneous items; and

3\. Shore-to-ship utility connections.

This guide specification WAS NOT prepared to address the requirements of
routine maintenance painting although it could be modified to do so.

This guide specification DOES NOT address high-performance or specialty
coating requirements, or protective coating of industrial structures or
facilities, including but not limited to:

1\. Towers;

2\. Pilings;

3\. Pavement markings;

4\. Items requiring specialized treatment due to peculiar usage;

5\. Petroleum storage facilities;

6\. Water storage facilities;

7\. Waterfront facilities, except shore-to-ship utility connections; and

8\. Hangars

If such items are in the project they should be included in a separate
section or this section should be modified accordingly. The following
guide specifications are examples of those available for specific
service conditions noted, and may be modified to provide for related
service conditions:

1\. Section 09965 METALLIC TYPE CONDUCTIVE/SPARK RESISTANT CONCRETE
FLOOR FINISH. This specification covers the painting of hydraulic
structures located in fresh water such as locks and dams.

2\. Section 09970 INTERIOR COATING OF WELDED STEEL PETROLEUM FUEL TANKS

3\. Section 09971 EXTERIOR COATING OF STEEL STRUCTURES. This
specification is usable for any steel structure exposed to weather, and
is usable for other purposes as well, such as hangar structures,
enclosed swimming pool structures, and most situations requiring
high-performance protective coating systems.

4\. Section 09972 INTERIOR COATING OF WELDED STEEL WATER TANKS

5\. Section 09973 INTERIOR COATING OF WELDED STEEL PETROLEUM FUEL TANKS.
This is a three-coat epoxy system that is adaptable to a wide range of
high-performance protective coating requirements where there is no
exposure to sunlight.

This guide generally contains only two types of coating systems, solvent
based and water based. If different systems are required regionally, or
for special needs, modify the guide accordingly.

## 2.1 MATERIALS

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Reprocessed and consolidated latex paints are EPA designated
products for recycled content. See Section 00 62 35 RECYCLED/RECOVERED
MATERIALS and include minimum recycled content options unless designer
determines that a cost, quality or availability justification for
non-use exists. EPA recycled content requirements must be addressed in
all projects regardless of optional LEED/other recycled content goals.
Designer must verify suitability, availability and adequate competition
(including verification of bracketed percentages included in this guide
specification) before specifying products meeting EPA minimum recycled
content.

Use of field-applied interior coatings with recycled content, calculated
on the basis of post-industrial and post-consumer percentage content,
contributes to the following LEED credit: MR4. Coordinate with Section
01 33 29 LEED(tm) DOCUMENTATION. Designer must verify suitability,
availability and adequate competition (including verification of
bracketed percentages included in this guide specification) before
specifying product recycled content requirements. Use second option if
Contractor is choosing recycled content products in accordance with
Section 01 33 29 LEED(tm) DOCUMENTATION. Army projects shall specify
recycled content exceeding EPA requirements only if pursuing this LEED
credit.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Conform to the coating specifications and standards referenced in PART

hazardous materials.

# PART 3 EXECUTION

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Exercise caution when deviating from paint systems listed in
tables of \"PART 3 EXECUTION.\" Verify compatibility and suitability of
paint systems substituted by reviewing the Evaluation of Systems
sections of the MPI Manuals.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

## 3.1 PROTECTION OF AREAS AND SPACES NOT TO BE PAINTED

Prior to surface preparation and coating applications, remove, mask, or
otherwise protect, hardware, hardware accessories, machined surfaces,
plates and other such items not to be coated that are in contact with
surfaces to be coated. Following completion of painting, workmen skilled
in the trades involved shall reinstall removed items. Restore surfaces
contaminated by coating materials, to original condition and repair
damaged items.

## 3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Existing coating systems need to be defined compositionally before
recoating:

1\. Hazardous Materials: When planning either partial or full removal of
existing coatings, regulatory restrictions and procedures shall be
followed. Records establishing the composition of materials in the
coating systems, if available, may assist in a preliminary review of
planned surface preparation and disposal. Generally an overall
assessment of applicable regulations for personnel and environmental
protection will be required, with appropriate sampling and testing,
followed by use of proper material control procedures.

2\. Compatibility of the existing coating system with a planned repair
or overcoating system should be determined by procedures such as the
following:

a\. Identification of the existing topcoat and any undercoats that will
be exposed, by consulting local records.

b\. If binder extraction is possible, ASTM D 2621, \"Infrared
Identification of Vehicle Solids from Solvent-Reducible Paints,\" can be
used for vehicle identification.

c\. General compatibility considerations and chart listings of expected
relationships between binder types are given in MPI Evaluation of
systems, \"Transition Coat and Architectural Paint Compatibility
Chart\". Consult coating specialist codes regarding questionable
compatibilities indicated in the chart.

d\. For some maintenance operations, use of ASTM D 5064, \"Standard
Practice for Conducting a Patch Test to Assess Coating Compatibility,\"
may be warranted. Interpretation of the results of patch testing is not
always straight-forward, therefore, consult appropriate coating
specialists when considering patch testing.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Specify nonhazardous cleaning agents when possible.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Remove dirt, splinters, loose particles, grease, oil, and other foreign
matter and substances deleterious to coating performance as specified
for each substrate before application of paint. Oil and grease shall be
removed prior to mechanical cleaning. Cleaning shall be programmed so
that dust and other contaminants will not fall on wet, newly painted
surfaces. Exposed ferrous metals such as screw heads on or in contact
with surfaces to be painted with water-thinned paints, shall be
spot-primmed with a suitable corrosion-inhibitive primer capable of
preventing flash rusting and compatible with the coating specified for
the adjacent areas.

### 3.2.1 Additional Requirements for Preparation of Surfaces With Existing Coatings

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Delete inapplicable phrases or entire paragraph if no previously
painted surfaces will be encountered.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Before application of coatings, perform the following on surfaces
covered by soundly-adhered coatings, defined as those which cannot be
removed with a putty knife:

a\. Sand existing glossy surfaces to be painted to reduce gloss. Brush,
and wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dust.

b\. The requirements specified are minimum. Comply also with the
application instructions of the paint manufacturer.

c\. Previously painted surfaces specified to be repainted and damaged
during construction shall be thoroughly cleaned of all grease, dirt,
dust or other foreign matter.

d\. Blistering, cracking, flaking and peeling or other deteriorated
coatings shall be removed.

e\. Chalk shall be removed so that when tested in accordance with ASTM D
4214, the chalk resistance rating is no less than 8.

f\. Slick surfaces shall be roughened. Damaged areas such as, but not
limited to, nail holes, cracks, chips, and spalls shall be repaired with
suitable material to match adjacent undamaged areas.

g\. Edges of chipped paint shall be feather edged and sanded smooth.

h\. New, proposed coatings shall be compatible with existing coatings.

###  3.2.2 Existing Coated Surfaces with Minor Defects

Sand, spackle, and treat minor defects to render them smooth. Minor
defects are defined as scratches, nicks, cracks, gouges, spalls,
alligatoring, chalking, and irregularities due to partial peeling of
previous coatings. Remove chalking by sanding so that when tested in
accordance with ASTM D 4214, the chalk rating is not less than 8.

## 3.3 PREPARATION OF METAL SURFACES

### 3.3.1 Ferrous Surfaces

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

NOTE: Surface preparation procedures should be compliant with any local
or base restrictions. Specify use of nonhazardous cleaning agents when
possible. For cleaning or blasting ferrous surfaces, select applicable
options from the table below.

The considerations suggested here for painting over existing paint are
covered in a Coating Condition Survey (CCS). Consult MIL-HDBK-1110 for
details. The intent of performing a CCS is to be able to design a
maintenance coating project that carries minimum risk of coating
failure.

NOTE: Consider latex paint options for occupied buildings and where
strong odors would be objectional. Where allowable, consider eggshell or
semigloss enamel in lieu of flat paint for areas subject to soiling
where gloss is not desired.

For existing surfaces with alkyd enamel coating, do not specify latex
paint which does not bond well to enamel.

(Division 3: Interior Concrete Paint Table).

(Substrate B). For hiding imperfections in new concrete ceilings. Do not
specify in wet or humid areas or for previously painted surfaces.

(Substrate C). List other high humidity areas requiring enamel finishes.
For tile-like finishes, filler materials, and applications, refer to
Section 09963 HIGH-BUILD GLAZE COATING. These high performance coatings
are normally used to meet exposure-resistant requirements and can be
applied to wood, metal, and concrete substrates.
