Ready-to-use waterproofer

MAPEGUM WPS

Apply two layers of product with a trowel, roller or brush to form a total thickness of at least 0.8 mm.

Rubber tape

MAPEBAND PE 120

Apply the elastic tape for fillet joints on the first layer of MAPEGUM WPS while still fresh.

6

Adhesive

KERAFLEX

Apply the adhesive on the substrate with a notched trowel suitable for the type and format of the tiles to ensure the back of the tiles is sufficiently wetted. Use the double-buttering method where specified by UNI 11493-1. 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

KERAPOXY EASY DESIGN

Once the adhesive has set, carefully fill the grouts to their full depth using a rubber trowel without leaving gaps or steps. After filling the grouts with epoxy mortar clean the surface while the mortar is still wet fresh with a cellulose sponge dipped in water and a Scotch-Brite® pad where required. Carry out any final cleaning required using UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner.
