Discover the DTU of Tiling: Your Guide for a Successful Project with Blanche Matériaux Nobles
The choice and installation of tiles are crucial steps in any construction or renovation project. Thanks to the DTU (Unified Technical Documents) , you have a clear technical framework to guarantee a durable, aesthetic and standards-compliant installation. At Blanche Matériaux Nobles , we make DTU 52.1 and DTU 52.2 our references to offer you solutions adapted to your needs.
What is a DTU and why is it essential?
The DTU are official standards defined by the CSTB (Scientific and Technical Center for Building). These documents establish the rules of the art for:
- Ensure optimal installation : Prevent cracks, detachments or infiltrations.
- Ensure increased durability : Resistance to mechanical and climatic constraints.
- Facilitate legal compliance : Recognized references for resolving disputes or validating insurance.
The Essential DTUs for Laying Tiles
1. NF DTU 52.1 – Sealed Installation
This DTU is for traditional installation on mortar screed. Ideal for natural stone, ceramic or marble coverings.
Key points:
- Preparation of the support : Perfect stability and flatness, absence of humidity.
- Composition of mortars : Precise dosages of hydraulic binders and controlled granulometry.
- Recommended thickness : Generally several centimeters for optimal adhesion.
- Tolerances and finishes : Flatness, joint alignment, and defined aesthetic criteria.
2. NF DTU 52.2 – Glued Installation
Suitable for ceramic tiles and similar, this DTU covers modern installation techniques with adhesives, both indoors and outdoors.
Key points:
- Compatible supports : Screeds, coatings, leveling compounds, resistant panels.
- Choice of adhesives : Cement adhesives (C1, C2), fluids, or epoxy depending on the type of tile and the environment.
- Installation techniques : Single or double gluing to ensure perfect adhesion.
- Joint production : Widths and materials optimized for aesthetics and sealing.
Why are DTUs crucial for your projects?
By relying on the DTU, you benefit from:
- Quality installation : Avoid problems caused by poor implementation.
- Optimized durability : Resistance to shocks, humidity and climatic variations.
- Guaranteed compliance : In the event of a problem, the DTUs serve as a legal framework.
At Blanche Matériaux Nobles , our tiles are selected to meet the requirements of the DTU, guaranteeing a perfect match between the product and the installation method.
