Application steps

Discover the application steps, the products used for this solution and other alternative products.

1

Plasterboard partition walls.

2

Skimcoat

PLANITOP 600 RASAGESSO

Seal joints between panels and the head of screws applying a skimcoat in order to obtain a smooth and even surface. Apply by trowel.

3

Primer

ECO PRIM T PLUS

Apply the primer by brush or roller.

4

Adhesive

ULTRALITE S1 FLEX ZERO

Apply the adhesive using the double-buttering technique with a notched trowel of a suitable size depending on the type and size of the tiles, so as to ensure an adequate wetting of the back of the tiles. While installing the tiles use levelling systems from the MAPELEVEL line to maintain the correct width for the grouts and to reduce lippage between adjacent tiles.

Ceramic tiles

6

Grout

ULTRACOLOR PLUS

When the adhesive has set, fill the joints in their whole depth with the selected grout using a rubber trowel, taking care not to leave gaps or steps. When the grout loses its plasticity, wash off the excess product with a damp hard cellulose sponge. They may also be finished off while the product is partially hardened by going over the surface with a damp abrasive pad (such as a Scotch-Brite® pad). Remove any cementitious residues with ULTRACARE KERANET.

7

Sealant

MAPEFOAM

MAPESIL AC ECO

Seal the perimeter and expansion joints after inserting MAPEFOAM to set the correct depth and then finish off the surface of the sealant with ULTRACARE SMOOTH SILICONE.

NOTES:

The choice of adhesive and covering varies according to type and format of tiles.
