Application steps

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

1

Clean, dry, mechanical resistant cementitious substrate

The cementitious substrate must be clean, dry and mechanically strong. Seal any existing cracks with EPORIP fluid epoxy resin for sealing cracks.

2

Self-adhesive butyl tape

MAPEBAND SA

Cut the tape to the length required, remove the protective backing and apply the tape making sure it adheres firmly to the substrate.

3

One-component waterproofing cementitious mortar MONOLASTIC - 1st coat

Apply the product with a notched trowel.

4

One-component waterproofing cementitious mortar MONOLASTIC - 2nd coat

Apply the product with a smooth trowel.

5

Adhesive

KERAFLEX MAXI S1 ZERO

Apply the adhesive using the double buttering technique. Use a spreader with a notch size that guarantees optimum buttering of the back of the tile. While laying tiles, it is recommended to use levelling systems of MAPELEVEL range to maintain the correct size of grouts and reduce height unevenness between 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

MAPEFOAM

MAPESIL AC

Seal 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.
