Solutions for Ceramic Tile Application on Painted Surfaces - Solution 1

Surface Preparation

The soundness of the surface should be checked and the blistered layers should be scraped until reaching the solid surface for the applications to be performed on painted surfaces. Notching or sanding should be performed on painted surfaces in order to increase the bonding factor as painted surfaces are extremely bright. In order to increase adhesion, 4506 Kalekim Dolgulu Astar (Smooth Surface Primer) should be applied.


Tiling and Grouting

Bonding should be made by using 1051 Kalekim standard performance adhesive if it is performed by using small size coating materials such as bathroom and by using 1055 Granitech high performance adhesive if it is performed by using medium and large size coating materials. Regarding the grouting mortar application, 2200 Ultrafuga high performance grouting mortar, which features water repellency thanks to its silicone additive, is ideal for bathrooms.
