For fixing ceramic, terracotta, quarry and concrete tiles.  Used primarily for tiling onto concrete and in areas subject to prolonged wet conditions and condensation, and is unaffected by frost after setting.  When mixed with Flexmaster admix will fix a wider range of tiles to a variety of substrates.  Please refer to our “Tile to Substrate “guide or call our 24 hr helpline on 01257 269243.

APPLICATION:

Always mix powder to water and mix to a buttery consistency, never add water after initial mixing, as this will impair the strength of the adhesive.  As an approximate guide for powder to water ratio, 20K of powder requires approximately 5L of water.

THIN BED

On flat, even substrate where dry conditions exist, apply adhesive to substrate as a thin floated coat at a uniform thickness of 3mm and then rib using a notched trowel or spreader.  Bed tiles into adhesive using a twisting action ensuring full coverage of adhesive between tile and substrate.  Where tiling is subject to frequent wet conditions such as in showers, in addition apply as a solid bed a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the tile before applying to the substrate.

THICK BED

Where substrate conditions do not allow thin bed fixing, adhesive should be applied to substrate as a floated coat 3mm to 6mm in thickness or locally up to 12mm in thickness.  Ensure there are no hollow spaces or pockets of air.  It may be necessary to additionally apply adhesive to the back of the tile.

COVERAGE: 20k pack will cover approx.6 sq metres at 3mm thin bed application.

STORAGE: Store in a cool dry area.  Shelf life should be approximately 6 months.

LIMITATIONS: Do not use in areas subject to permanent water immersion such as swimming pools.

PACK SIZES: Available in 20, 10 and 5 kilos sacks in Grey and White.
