Recycling - responsible manufacturing
introductioncompany credentials
Founded in 1901 Johnson Tiles (formally
H & R Johnson Tiles Ltd) is the leading
manufacturer and supplier of ceramic tiles
in the UK, with a long history of market
leadership and industry production
development.
Part of the Norcros Group we have sister
manufacturing bases in South Africa and
Greece with additional offi ces in Dubai,
USA and Australia.
In 2001 an investment in excess of
£35 million allowed us to develop a new fully
automated production facility on a single
integrated site in Stoke-on-Trent.
Our UK factory produces over 5 million
square metres of ceramic tiles for use in the
UK and overseas markets.
Johnson Tiles products are used in a wide
range of commercial and non commercial
projects and we supply ceramic tiles to
almost every country of the world.
Our strength is based on a comprehensive
portfolio of leading edge quality products
combined with very high levels of
customer service. As manufacturers
we have extremely stringent quality and
environmental control standards.
In 2006 we created and opened the award
winning Material Lab design resource
centre at 10 Great Titchfi eld Street,
London, offering designers and architects
an environment where products such as
ceramics, glass, wallpaper, carpet tiles,
eco-resins, fabrics and many more materials
can be explored.
We have a longstanding commitment to
environmental management and have had
a formal environmental policy since 1992.
Our environmental management system is
certifi ed against the ISO14001 standard.
We were the fi rst ceramics company within
the whitewares sector to gain certifi cation
against the ISO14001 standard in 1998
and have since successfully upgraded our
certifi cation to meet the latest requirements
of ISO14001:2004. We are the only UK
wall tile manufacturer to have ISO14001
accreditation.
The company has never been subject to
any prosecutions or formal environmental
regulatory action for any breaches of
environmental legislation.
In 1997 Johnson Tiles were awarded
the Queens Award for Environmental
Achievement for our ceramic waste
recycling scheme.
To our knowledge we are the only
manufacturer in the world to operate such
a scheme. This scheme which has been in
continuous use since 1992 also enabled
Johnson TIles to win the Manufacturing
Industry Achievement Award for
Environmentalist of the Year in 1997.
In 2008 Johnson Tiles was the only
ceramics manufacturer or supplier to appear
in the Times 50 Best Green Companies list.
Approximately 25% of the material used to
produce our wall tiles comes from recycled
ceramic materials from our own and other
local companies.
Various recycling and energy saving
schemes throughout our production and
offi ce processes allow us each year to:-
Save 20,000 tonnes of ceramic landfi ll from
our own and local ceramic factory waste
saving 360 tonnes of CO2 in transportation
on materials
Save 1250 tonnes of virgin timber
Use 92% recycled materials in our
packaging
Re-use 32 million litres of water
(30% of the total factory usage)
Save 42 million kWh of energy
Save 2400 tonnes of CO2
Our energy and material savings are
detailed in our “Ceramic Tile Environmental
Strategy” document.

technical - installation
Maintaining the appearance and characteristics of glazed tiles is achieved with the implementation of a suitable cleaning regime. It must be stressed that the cleaning material manufacturers instructions must be followed at all times.
Builders Clean
This should be undertaken prior to a wall being brought into service. The builders clean removes any residual fi lm left over from the grouting operation and is a one off cleaning process. It is imperative that this is carried out as any grout residues left behind will act as a key for dirt.
Cementitious Grouts
The use of a mild acid decementing solution followed by thorough rinsing will remove all but the most stubborn of cement residues.
Epoxide Grouts
It is essential that ALL residue be removed from the surface of the tile during the grouting process and before the resin cures. Failure to achieve this will result in a very diffi cult and expensive process using gel-type epoxide removers.
Routine Cleaning
The regular use of detergents or other cleaning agents which are excessively acidic or alkaline could cause irreversible damage to the tile surface and should not be used.
Manual Cleaning
Glazed wall tiles can be wiped with warm water to which a neutral or nearly neutral detergent has been added.
Metallic Finish Tiles
Care must be exercised when cleaning metallic fi nish tiles, always test cleaning material in an inconspicuous area. Contact the Technical Helpline for more information.
Periodic Deep Cleaning
Occasionally foreign matter may cause surface marks that cannot be removed with the usual cleaning processes and materials. If the surface mark cannot be removed, other materials should be considered (it is advisable to experiment on a small inconspicuous area):
Paint – Paint Remover
Organic Stains – Bleach or one off treatment with washing soda
Oil, Fat, Grease – Detergent or degreaser
Mould Growth – Household bleach or proprietary cleaner
Tea, Coffee, Ink – Household bleach or proprietary cleaner
Abrasive powders or cleaners should never be used on ceramic tiles.
cleaningCodes of Practice
All fi xing of wall tiles should be in accordance with the following codes of practice guidelines:
BS5385 Part 1 – 1995 (Code of practice for the design and installation of internal wall tiling and mosaics in normal conditions)
BS5385 Part 4 – 1992 (Code of practice for ceramic tiling and mosaic in specifi c conditions)
BS8000 Section 11.1 – 1989 (Workmanship on Building Sites, Part 11, Code of practice for wall and fl oor tiling).
Substrates
Before tiling is commenced it is important to ensure that the correct minimum curing periods have been observed for all substrates:
Concrete – 6 weeks
Rendering (non modifi ed) – 2 weeks
Gypsum Plastering – 4 weeks
Brickwork/Blockwork – 6 weeks
Accuracy of the substrate must be checked to ensure that the guidance given in BS5385 has been achieved i.e. “local variations in level for a nominally fl at fl oor or wall should be such that, when checked with a 2m straightedge, any gap under the straightedge between points of contact does not exceed 3mm”.
Movement Joints in Wall Tiles
The location, type and scope of all movement joints must be ascertained prior to any fi xing works. All structural joints must be followed through to the face of the tile at full width with intermediate movement joints (minimum 6mm wide) being situated at:
Changes of plane (including internal wall corners)
Wall/fl oor junctions
Where tiling abuts other materials
For walls 3m to 4.5m maximum centres both horizontally and vertically
Movement joints can either be fi lled with a suitable backer, bond breaker and fi ller (e.g. silicone – please check with manufacturer for suitability) or be of the pre-formed variety.
Fixing Wall Tiles
All tiles should be fi xed with a notched bed trowel to achieve the required minimum adhesive coverage for the installation type, this ensures maximum durability and strength within the installation and long term adhesion performance. It is good practice to periodically remove a recently fi xed tile to ensure that the correct bedding is being achieved and maintained. When fi xing all tiles care must be taken to ensure that no lipping occurs.
Adhesives
Ensure that the correct adhesive has been specifi ed; BS EN12004, Class D1, D2, C1 or C2 are suitable for BIII tiles. Class C2 must be used for BIa tiles. Johnson Tiles recommend the use of Johnson’s Professional adhesives and grouts - see below.
Grouts
The choice of grout type should refl ect the expected service conditions of the installation.
For general internal wall tiling in dry conditions grouts should be class CG1 i.e. Johnson Professional Fine Joint Grout. For walls subject to frequent wetting ie showers and pool halls grout should be class CG2 i.e. Johnson Professional No Mould Flexible Grout.
For walls where hygiene is important ie commercial kitchens and hospitals grout should be class RG1 i.e. Johnson Professional Easy Clean Epoxy.

dda - disability discrimination actThe Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) introduced new measures to prevent discrimination against disabled people. The Act was broadened in 2005 to form the current Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
The DDA requires accessible environments to be provided for disabled people, either in their place of work or for access to goods, services or facilities (public spaces). Those commissioning new buildings or adaptations to existing buildings must consider the implications of the DDA and their ability to provide buildings that do not discriminate against disabled people (physical or mental impairments).
When specifying ceramics there are 2 main areas of relevance within the DDA.
Colour Refl ectance (Contrast)
The DDA gives guidance on good visual contrast for the visually impaired between various elements of a building by the use of Light Refl ectance Values (LRV).
LRV is a general term for contrast and is measured as the proportion of useful light refl ected by a coloured object, fl oor, wall or ceiling. LRV is measured on a scale of 0 to 100 where 0 is perfect black and 100 perfect white (in reality 0 and 100 are unobtainable colours). According to NCS Colour Centre in practical terms black is approx 6 and white approx 85. See pages 50 - 54 for values.
The current guidelines from Building Regulations Approved Document M on contrast are that a minimum difference of 30 LRV points should be specifi ed for adjacent surfaces to ensure that visually impaired people are not discriminated against. In the specifi c example of ceramic tiles this difference should be between:
Floors to walls
Ceiling to walls
Handrails to walls
Sanitary fi ttings to walls
Visual contrast between fl oors and walls is important in enabling visually impaired people to assess and gauge the size and shape of a room. It is important that the greatest visual contrast occurs where the fl oor meets the wall (skirting) as this gives the most accurate visual indication of the extent of the room. Where provided, skirtings should contrast visually with the fl oor and be similar in colour and tone to the wall surface.
Tactile Foot Braille
Recommendations from the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR), the joint mobility unit of the RNIB and the Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE) led to the need for Tactiles to be used as warning features for stairs, ramps and platforms.
Available in 400x400x10mm format and in 2 colour options the Johnson Tactile System offers compliance with not only the DDA requirements but also the DETR, RNIB and CAE recommendations. Specifi ed correctly the Johnson Tactile System will ensure that any new building Access Audits will be compliant with the Access to Goods and Services part of the DDA.
The Johnson Tactile System is manufactured to the highest technical and performance standards. The surface of the Tactile products have the enhanced performance qualities of a slip resistance durundum inclusion in the surface of the tile.
The Corduroy profi le is designed to warn visually impaired people of the presence of specifi c hazards. Such a profi le is “Foot Braille” and is a warning associated with steps, ramps or the approach to on-street light rapid transit platforms. The Corduroy profi le is an internationally accepted Tactile surface that conveys the message of hazard and implies proceed with caution.
The Blister profi le is designed to warn visually impaired people of the edge of all off-street platforms. The profi le consists of a series of offset, fl at topped dome studs. The parallel rows of studs are designed to be installed at right angles to the direction of traffi c and are normally located behind the platform edge coping.
For details of Johnson Tiles Tactile System see our Kerastar brochure.
This information is not exhaustive and the requirements at the time of specifi cation must be checked.
BS8300:2001 Amendment 1 indicates that there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that a 20 point LRV difference may be suffi cient – especially where large adjacent areas are involved.
It must be noted that the guidance on LRV values given in this brochure are correct at the time of print. This is a subject that may be reviewed by the regulatory body at any time so it is advisable to check the guidelines at the time of specifi cation of product.
The DDA details given in this brochure are to be used as an outline guide only and are the details as Johnson Tiles understand them at the time of print. If in doubt of any details contained herein the Act should be read in full.
