Laitance does occur, and tile system failures are far too common on slabs. • Always be aware of how the slab was finished prior to commencing tiling. • If in doubt, conduct the water and acid tests as detailed in this presentation. • Test for the presence of curing or hardening compounds. • Encourage concreters to employ good concreting practices, and to finish their slabs with a wood float finish where possible. • Always use the best possible surface preparation techniques and primer and adhesive systems to overcome problems in the slabs surface.
