Instructions

Substrates must be conventional, rendered and cement mortar-floored. They must be robust, fully hardened and free from dust, oils and paint. On laminated plasterboard substrates, ensure they are rigid and incapable of movement. Otherwise, use a flexible adhesive mortar from ARENES BELLPUIG SL.

1| Achieve a perfectly homogeneous mixture using approximately 7-7.5 litres of water per bag with a mortar mixer until all lumps are eliminated.

2| Leave the paste to rest for 5 minutes and then mix again.

3| Apply the mortar with a notched trowel in patches no larger than 2m². For tiles 30 x 30 cm or larger, use the double-layering technique.

4| Place the tiles onto the fresh mortar, pressing slightly until full contact is achieved across the entire surface.

5| Leave a joint of at least 1.5 mm indoors and 5 mm outdoors.

6| Provide expansion joints every 50 m² (small formats) and 30 m² (large formats). Observe the building’s perimeter and structural joints.

Precautions

Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C. In adverse climatic conditions (strong winds and high temperatures) the adhesive dries more quickly than normal, reducing its open time. Periodically check that no surface film forms on the applied adhesive. In this case, the product will need to be re-combed or re-applied. Do not add any additional products that could alter the original contents of the container. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse the affected areas with plenty of water.
