Outdoor Granite Ceramic Tile Application Solutions

Surface Preparation

It should be ensured that the reinforced concrete or plastered surface are totally cured, free of residues that will prevent adhesion and sound. If there are defects on the application surface, it should be corrected with 4001 Tamirart 5 or 4002 Tamirart 30 repair mortars. If there are structural cracks on the surface, 4004 Tamirart S40 should be used. Extremely absorbent surfaces should be moistened or 4505 Kalekim Astar (Primer) should be applied before application.


Tiling and Grouting

Two component 1060 Technomax 30 should be used for bonding coating materials such as large size ceramic, granite ceramics up to 30 meter high on building exterior.

The combined method (both the application of the adhesive to the back and on the surface of the coating material) should be applied for bonding. It is recommended to support with mechanical fixing in addition to the bonding method in the application of coating materials which are larger 60x60 cm up to 15 m high and 40x40 cm up to 30 m high on building exteriors. In the joint grouting application, 2300 Fugaflex flexible grouting mortar, resistant to external façade factors, should be used. If the façade coated is a plain façade without windows, an expansion joint should be left in every 4-5 m horizontally and vertically and these joints should be filled with 8021 Kalepolymas Polyurethane Sealant.
