Identify the structural base and services behind the tile. Tile is a finish, not the load-bearing base.
Method basis: Rigips/Knauf system guidance and Fischer/Hilti fixing-selection principles. Final parameters always come from the selected product data.
How to plan the installation
Prevent bit wandering, start without hammer action and change tool or mode after passing the tile.
Common mistake
Do not expand the plug in the tile or use excessive pressure that cracks it.
Pre-start check
- Was the structural base identified rather than only the finish?
- Does the weight include contents and projection?
- Were services, edges and minimum spacing checked?
- Does the product data permit the base, direction and environment?
