3.5 Winter Construction Guidelines

3.5.1 Grouting Mortar Temperature Control

• Insulation: Maintain the temperature of grouting mortar above 5°C (41°F) during application. This can be achieved by insulating the mortar to prevent it from cooling below the recommended temperature.
  

3.5.2 Preventing Early Freezing of Mortar

• Additives: When ambient temperatures drop below 5°C (41°F), consider incorporating additives into the mortar mix to lower its freezing point. The appropriate type and amount of additive should be determined through prior testing to ensure effectiveness and compatibility.
  

3.5.3 Construction on Frozen Walls

• Thawing Requirement: Avoid constructing on walls built using the freezing method until they have fully thawed. Building on frozen structures can compromise the integrity and bonding of the materials.
  

3.5.4 Accelerated Drying Methods

• Heating Techniques: During winter, employ heating methods such as hot air blowers or stoves equipped with chimneys to expedite the drying process of veneer panels. Ensure proper ventilation to remove excess moisture, and assign personnel to monitor and control temperatures. Maintain heat preservation and curing for 7 to 9 days to achieve optimal results.
  

4. Quality Standards

4.1 Guarantee Items

4.1.1 Material Specifications

• Compliance: Ensure that the varieties, specifications, colors, and patterns of decorative panels—such as marble, prefabricated terrazzo natural stone, and polished granite—strictly adhere to design requirements and relevant industry standards.
  

4.1.2 Installation Integrity

• Firmness: Veneers must be installed securely, exhibiting no signs of hollowing, misalignment, missing corners, cracks, or other defects that could compromise structural integrity or aesthetics.
  

4.2 Basic Items

4.2.1 Surface Quality

• Appearance: The surface should be smooth, clean, and display uniform color without blemishes or inconsistencies.
  

4.2.2 Joint Specifications

• Filling: Joints must be densely filled, straight, and of consistent width and color. At internal and external corners, ensure the pressing direction of the boards is correct, and that any non-whole boards are appropriately placed.
  

4.2.3 Cutting and Fitting

• Precision: Utilize whole boards for cutting and fitting, ensuring edges are neat. Wall skirts and faces should be smooth, with consistent protrusion thickness from the wall.
  

4.2.4 Slope and Drip Line

• Accuracy: The slope for water flow must be correctly implemented, and drip lines should be straight to facilitate proper drainage and prevent water damage.
  

4.3 Allowable Deviations

Refer to Table 9-30 for permissible deviations in the installation of marble, polished granite, and prefabricated terrazzo natural stone veneers.

Table 9-30: Allowable Deviations for Veneer Installation

Item	Allowable Deviation (mm)	Inspection Method
Verticality	Indoor: 2 Outdoor: 3	Use a 2-meter plumb line and measure deviation at the base.
Surface Smoothness	1	Check with a 2-meter straightedge and feeler gauge.
Angle Squareness	2	Utilize a 20 cm square ruler and feeler gauge.
Joint Straightness	2	Stretch a 5-meter line; for lengths less than 5 meters, measure with a ruler.
Wall Skirt Alignment	2	Similar to joint straightness, use a 5-meter line and ruler as needed.
Joint Height Difference	0.3	Measure with a short steel ruler and feeler gauge.
Joint Width Deviation	0.5	Assess using a 5-meter line and ruler.

Adhering to these standards ensures the structural integrity, durability, and aesthetic quality of installations involving marble, polished granite, and prefabricated terrazzo natural stone, especially under challenging winter conditions.
