Preparation of the base and instructions for use

To tile reliably held on the surface, you need to provide it with optimal bearing capacity. It is important to remove all fragile areas, sand, completely clean from traces of paint and plaster. Then the irregularities must be leveled with plaster, let it dry completely before gluing the tiles (usually the process takes 3 days). The floors are leveled with a suitable floor mortar.

Also, all contaminants that potentially reduce the adhesion of the composition should be removed from the base:

If the floor is cement screed, wait at least 28 days to reach a moisture content of 4%. Only then is the primer and tile laid. The bases from a tree are primed by special means for 1-2 times. Do the same with various plates, drywall. OSB boards, paint coatings are treated with rough sandpaper and dust free.

The norms for diluting glue and adding an elasticizer are indicated on the packaging, they must always be observed exactly depending on the type of glue “Cerezit”. Pour clean cold water into a bucket, pour the building mixture, mix with a mixer, a drill with a nozzle. After withstand a technological pause (7 minutes), allowing the mixture to mature. Then the mass is re-kneaded and used for its intended purpose.

To apply glue, use a notched trowel or a grater with square teeth. Trowel glue, put on the base, level with a spatula. Press the tile as hard as possible, repeat the work further, not forgetting the inter-tile seams. Butt laying is not allowed. When installing large-format objects, stone, during facade work, glue is applied to the surface of each tile and to the base. The thickness of the adhesive joint is 3 mm, it depends on the complexity of the work and the size of the tile.

Traces of glue from the front of the tile are removed immediately with a wet rag. After hardening, you will have to do mechanical cleaning. Grouting is carried out after the time recommended by the manufacturer. Do not allow the solution to come in contact with the skin or eyes. To do this, it is important to observe preventive measures, wear gloves, protective clothing and glasses. Compliance with all the tips guarantees an excellent result when working with tiles and other types of finishing materials.

A variety of adhesives company Ceresit

The Ceresit range of tile solutions contains formulations for both indoor and outdoor use. There are universal dry mixes and specialized formulations. All of them have different uses, to determine which is enough to look at the labeling.

• SM - a dry mix for ceramic tiles. It has good adhesive properties with respect to masonry and concrete.
• SV - for repair of individual parts of the cladding.
• ST - compositions for external use, thermal insulation works.

Compositions of the SM brand are used in the installation of tiles, mosaics, kerogranite. There are varieties for indoor and outdoor use. Moisture-resistant compounds are used in rooms with high humidity. This is an elastic compound that reliably attaches the finish even in places with vibrational stress, on surfaces prone to shrinkage. The SM series includes adhesives for large tiles, marble, facade cladding and clinker.

Popular blends of the ST series:

• ST 84 - polyurethane solution with which expanded polystyrene is glued during external thermal insulation works,
• ST 190 - a stucco-adhesive agent that adheres mineral wool, is also applied as a base plaster during the insulation of facades,
• ST 85 - polystyrene boards are plastered inside and outside the building.

The CB series is represented by acrylic-based mounting adhesives on an acrylic basis. They are used inside and outside the building.

For all series only tile or insulation is glued, for other coatings or materials Henkel produces specialized compounds. Any product has a certificate of conformity, which confirms the high quality of the product.

How to breed

Each glue package has an instruction. It provides information on the preparation of the solution.

The proportion in which the building composition is combined with the liquid for each series may differ, therefore, before preparing the solution, you must carefully read the recommendations and adhere to them.

You can dilute the mixture with water or with an elastomer SS-83, which mixes with water in a ratio of 2: 1. The water temperature should be + 10 ... + 20 ° C. The adhesive is poured into the liquid and mixed thoroughly.

A construction mixer or drill with a spiral mixer is used. The tool should run at 500-800 rpm.

When the mixture acquires a uniform, viscous consistency, it is no longer mixed and left to ripen for 5-7 minutes. After, the solution is mixed again and applied as directed.

Instructions for use

For reliable adhesion of tiles to the surface, it is important to prepare the base for gluing.

• The old coating, peeling areas, traces of paints and plasters are removed. The surface is sanded, and irregularities are plastered. Wait for the time when the surface is completely dry. On average, it takes about 3 days. Before laying the tiles on the floor, it is leveled with a special building mixture.
• Dust, dirt, greasy, oil stains, bitumen are eliminated from the base. After laying the cement screed on the floor before the installation of the tile should pass at least 28 days. Screed moisture should be no more than 4%. Only after that the base is primed and the floor covering is laid.
• Wooden substrates are treated with special primers at least two times. It is also necessary to prime plasterboard surfaces. OSB boards and paint substrates are rubbed with sandpaper and then dust-free.

The adhesive is prepared immediately before installation.

It must be applied with a notched trowel or a grater with square teeth.

The mixture is filled with a trowel, laid on the base, and then leveled with a spatula. The cladding is laid on the adhesive mixture, pressed tightly to the base, and one should not forget about the formation of the inter-tile seam. Butt laying is not allowed. When bulky tiles are laid or work is carried out on the street, the adhesive mixture is applied not only to the base, but also to the tile or stone itself. The layer thickness of each glue will differ, because it depends on the series of the mixture, the size of the facing material and the complexity of the work.

If the glue gets on the front side of the tile, it is easily cleaned with a damp cloth. When the excess and stains of the mixture have solidified, they are removed mechanically.

Grouting is done after the adhesive layer has completely hardened. The period of complete solidification is individual and is indicated on the package.

When working with Ceresit mixtures, they should not be allowed to get on the skin and mucous membranes. To prevent the use of personal protective equipment and clothing.

Varieties and features of glue

Ceresit offers consumers a fairly wide range of tile adhesives, so you can choose a fixing mixture based on the nature of the work. There are several categories of material:

How to dilute tile glue and how to use

Before applying the mixture, you need to figure out how to dilute it to the required consistency. In this case, instructions from the manufacturer will help, since each brand has an individual recipe with a certain ratio of components and water. The overall process is as follows:

• divide the total mass into several equal parts, this will allow you to work without rush and worries that the process is not over yet, and the glue is already drying,
• in a clean bucket, place 2/3 of the indicated volume of water and gradually pour the powder into it, while thoroughly mixing with a construction mixer,
• Despite the manufacturer's instructions, independently evaluate the consistency condition, it should have a mass similar to thick sour cream.

You can check the density with a conventional spatula. Scoop a little mixture on the tool and transfer it from the spatula to the spatula, it should not roll into lumps or spread.

• leave the finished mixture at the recommended time, usually 10-15 minutes, so that all components absorb moisture and gain the desired percentage of elasticity.

After all the procedures, gently mix the components and get ready to lay the tiles. The fastening material is applied using a comb with the necessary pitch of the teeth on a flat surface. After that, the lining is applied from above and pressed. Construction crosses are inserted in the joint area, which allow you to align the element with others and create a perfectly even seam.
