Donor Tiles and Pavers
 
     Clayworks tiles bearing the names of individuals who support theaters, universities, churches, parks and other projects make a superb building material as well as an effective fundraising incentive. Pavers are handmade and inscriptions are handlettered. Gas fired to a temperature high enough to protect against weathering, they are suitable for walkways or walls, indoors or out. We can provide a brochure form for soliciting orders for a typical project, and we will also be glad to suggest ways to distinguish major donors, including custom logos and glazing. Individual commemorative tiles are another effective incentive for donors.

INSTALLING CLAYWORKS INSCRIBED PAVERS
Clayworks inscribed tiles are high fired clay pavers.  The character of handmade tiles must be taken into consideration.  Allowing variation in the recommended one-half inch grout lines should cover differences in size and thickness inherent in all handmade tiles.  Pavers are a nominal 5/8 in. thick, and wall tiles are 3/8 in. thick.

The most common method of installation is with dry set mortar or latex Portland cement mortar, commonly known as thin set.  Tiles should be set onto a properly prepared and cured Portland cement mortar bed.  It is best to lay out the tile pattern and adjust the grout lines before cementing the tiles into place.

A decision schould be made as to whether the names should be free of grout or filled in with grout.  If it is decided that the inscription is to be left ungrouted, the tiles should be covered with masking tape.
