Tile adhesive for exterior use - we describe the use of technology

Key Features tile adhesive

Clay tile is made based on sand-cement mortar, which are added mineral and organic plasticizers.

main positive performance of this composition:

• easy and convenient to stack;
• high water-retaining characteristics;
• reliable fixation of the material, that is, there is no slippage;
• high elasticity characteristics;
• high adhesive performance at various solidification conditions.

Adhesives brought to the ready state at the site in compliance with manufacturer's instructions.Use tile solution should be in dry weather, when it is necessary to avoid exposure to sunlight.

Surface preparation for facing

Before finishing surface must be clean off dust, dirt, grease, all sorts of attacks, and other substances that may have a negative effect on adhesion.Clean the surface using a steel brush, spatula, or pesko- waterjet machine.And to remove grease stains, take special solvents.

When all the impurities are removed, the surface should be de-dusted.As a rule, for this purpose compressed air is used.Sagging removed by hand with a hammer with double-pointed or chisel.

If the surface defects detected, work must be done to eliminate them.By defects usually include: cracks, sinks, chips, bumps, potholes.Such defects are eliminated plastering solutions.Before proceeding with the tile adhesive surface treatment, it is necessary to put a conventional compactor or a solution of a compound that strengthens the foundation.The choice depends on the quality of the surface, requiring cladding.

Soil composition is applied manually with a brush or roller, as well as mechanically by a gun.

Important!To ensure the horizontal and vertical surfaces before application of the adhesive it is necessary to plaster lining solutions.

technology laying tiles

Important!Façade work must be carried out in a temperature range of +5 to +30 degrees and humidity up to 70%.Ready

adhesive composition is applied to the outer tile spatula, 3-5 mm (depending on the size of the tile), is then distributed on the toothed side of the spatula across the surface of the material.This should be done in one direction.The value of cloves on the trowel depends on the tile size - the larger the tile, the larger the size of the teeth.

Tile adhesive applied to the surface, the area of ​​which can be oblitsevat tiles for 10-15 minutes."Open state" glue time depends on the ambient temperature, humidity, surface porosity, and the thickness of the applied adhesive layer.Ceramic tile is placed on the prepared surface and pressed into the adhesive composition of the pivoting movements.

If the tile is laid on the floor, it is pressed into the adhesive using a rubber mallet, lightly tap on the product.The seam should be not more than 2 mm thick.Tile adhesive ensures a secure fit tiles, nevertheless, their location can be adjusted within 20 minutes immediately after laying.A noticeable hardening adhesive is usually after 2-3 hours.
