Standard floor and wall tiling
Generic tile and natural stone installation following the catalogue's stages of work: (1) inspect and clean the substrate, (2) prepare the surface, with primer if needed, (3) lay tiles in adhesive, (4) grout, (5) seal joints with elastic sealant. Choose the adhesive by substrate, environment and tile specification (see reference/tiling-rules.json).

Notes on this system
- generic system compiled from the 'stages of work' (p25) and the section 2 product texts; it is not a catalogue diagram
- stage 1 'inspection and cleaning of the substrate' has no product and is not modelled
- wet rooms are excluded: use marmodom-hyproof-extreme-tiling or a section-3 waterproofing system there
