Solutions for Waterproofing & Tile Application on Existing Tile Surfaces

Surface Preparation

It is important to check the strength of existing tiles. If there are any broken or displaced tiles, these tiles should be removed and the gap must be filled with 4002 Tamirart 30 thick repair mortar. If there are structural cracks on the surface, 4004 Tamirart S40 should be used. The empty space can also be repaired by bonding a solid tile.


It must be ensured that the surface existing tile is free of residues that will prevent adhesion, clean, smooth and sound.


Waterproofing Application

3029 Ultralastic, which is a two component, flexible, under-tile waterproofing material should be applied before tile application on existing tiles in balconies and terraces. Existing tile floor wall and corner joints should be reinforced with Kalekim Pah Bandı (Waterproofing Tape) (Type III). The tape should be installed carefully on the waterproofing material, the first layer of which has been applied with a brush or a roller, in a way that the center of the tape matches with the joint. The second layer should be applied after waiting for 5-6 hours between layer application depending on the ambient temperature. After the surface dries, it should be waited for 7 days for full setting and leak-tightness tests should be carried out for 24 hours.


Tiling and Grouting

In ceramic bonding application on waterproofing material, ceramic application should be made with S1 class flexible, cement based 1054 Technoflex ceramic adhesive mortar on large balconies and terraces. In the application of grouting, high performance 2500 Ultrafuga Flex with silicone additives should be used in places where there is heavy pedestrian and high traffic in outdoor areas such as balcony and terrace.
