System for installing ceramic tiles on a rendered façade

Application steps

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

1

Render

Apply the product with a trowel or rendering machine with metal mesh embedded in the product fastened to the load-bearing substrate; the maximum total thickness should be 30 mm.

2

Adhesive

ULTRALITE S2 FLEX

Apply the adhesive using the double-buttering method with a notched trowel suitable for the type and format of the tiles so that the back of the tiles is sufficiently wetted with adhesive. 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.

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.

Sealant for window frame and stringer
MAPEFOAM + MAPESIL LM

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