Solutions for Waterproofing and Thin and Large Size Tile Application on Concrete/Plastered Surfaces

Surface Preparation

First of all, it should be ensured that the reinforced concrete or plastered surface is free of residues that will prevent adhesion, clean, dry and sound. If there are defects on the application sub-surface, it should be repaired with 4002 Tamirart 30 thick repair mortar. If there are structural cracks on the surface, 4004 Tamirart S40 should be used. 4505 Kalekim Astar (Primer) should be applied before application of waterproofing material for extremely absorbent surfaces.


Waterproofing Application

3024 Izolatex Plus, which is a cement based, two component, waterproofing material should be applied for under-tile waterproofing in wet areas such as bathroom, shower, WC etc. Existing 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

Extra flexible (S2 class), two component adhesive mortar 1059 Ultratech, which sets extremely fast, should be used in thin and large size ceramic tile bonding application on waterproofing material. 2500 Ultrafuga Flex grouting mortar, which is resistant to dirt and flexible thanks to its silicone additive, should be applied for the application of a long-lasting grouting mortar in continuously wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, WC.
