| Preparation | ||||||||||||||||
| Surface should be dimensionally stable, sound, clean, free from laitance, paint, salts, grease, dust and any contamination which may prevent adhesion. | ||||||||||||||||
| Substrates | ||||||||||||||||
| CementSand Renders should be left for 2 weeks before tiling. CementSand Screed should be cured for 3 weeks before tiling. New concrete, concrete blocks and bricks and calcium silicate bricks should cure for least 6 weeks before rendering or direct fixing. Chipboard Floors must be overlaid with a minimum of 15mm WBP plywood. The back and edges of the board should be sealed against ingress of moisture and screwed down securely to joists and existing boards at 300mm centres. In all cases ensure the timber floor is dimensonally stable and rigid. Existing floor tiles, hard vinyl tiles and flooring grade asphalt should all be thoroughly cleaned using Nicobond Super Cleaning Crystals. Slurry Primming is recommended using 1 part Nicobond Glass Tile Adhesive, 1 part Nicobond Primer and 1 part water. Allow to set before tiling. Gypsum Plaster/Plaster Board - Nicobond Waterproof Ready To Use Tile Cement is recommended for this application. | ||||||||||||||||
| Priming | ||||||||||||||||
| Porous cementitious surfaces must be primed to control suction. For simple priming use Nicobond Primer diluted with water in ratio of 1:4. For highly porous or difficult surfaces slurry prime as directed above. Timber substrates are best primed using Nicobond Universal Bonding Agent & Sealer diluted with water in ratio of 1:4. | ||||||||||||||||
