Instructions for use

Working on laying can begin at air temperatures between +5 and +30 °C. The room’s humidity level or higher shouldn’t be higher than 75%.

Surface preparation

1. Surface cleaning from the old finish, removing of crumbling plaster or screed.
2. The alignment of the base. Not to align the height drops of no more than 0.1 cm per 1 m. sq. All defects whose depth exceeds this indicator are plastered. Unis provides a wide range of plastering mixtures . If you do not leve the surface, the adhesive composition will be applied and dry unevenly, which provokes the exfoliation of the tiles and the appearance of cracks on it.
3. Когда плиточная облицовка укладывается на старое покрытие, каждые 50 мм в шахматном порядке делаются засечки для повышения адгезии.
4. The base is degreased and dried.
5. When working in raw, basement, it is recommended to waterproof mastic.
6. The base is primed 1-2 times. Too thoroughly pierced surfaces are especially carefully primed.

Tiles and grounds don’t need to be soaked beforehand.

Mixing the solution

Breeding unis is limited to pure containers. Water should be used to dilute the dry mixture. The glue package specifies the amount of liquid and powder. In addition, the mixture is thoroughly mixed for three to five minutes to create a homogenous mass. For three to five minutes, the mixture is left to ripen at rest. And mixes once more.

Distilled by hand or using construction tools (drill nozzle, mixer, etc.). One kilogram of the mixture cannot be diluted at a time when using a manual method. Use diluted glue within three hours at most, as it will thicken otherwise. Without adding any liquid, it is again kneaded with a mixer to give it the composition of the working consistency.

Adhesion of glue weakens if amounts are altered or additional ingredients are added during preparation.

Application of glue

• The mixture with a trowel or spatula is applied to the basis. The layer with a thickness of 0.3-1.5 cm is aligned with the gear side of the spatula or grater. When working with large tiles, a spatula with teeth high is more than 0.8 cm high. The weight of the tile should not exceed the maximum allowable value.
• Tiles are pressed to the applied adhesive layer. The distribution of the composition should be uniform without the formation of voids, this is achieved by a wave -like pressing on the tile surface or by tapping it with a rubber hammer .
• When the material is laid within 15-20 minutes to correct its position and set by level. So that the seams have the same thickness, special crosses are used.

The surface area that the mixture will cover during its viability is covered with glue.

In external applications, the composition is applied to both the base and the tile surface when installing large-sized tiles, marble plates, or adhering to a porous, relief surface.

The glue takes a while to dry depending on its type, layer thickness, and other variables, but you can grind the seams in a day on average. Only four weeks after the warm floor is tiled, is the heating turned on.

Tips for professional masters

• The longer the composition is mixed, the shorter its life lifes. The reduction entails a reduction in the time allotted to work with the composition and further adjustment of the position of the material. It is optimal to mix with a construction mixer at low speeds.
• So that the seams are the same, plastic crossings or special clamps are installed.
• The size of the spatula teeth is dependent on the size of the tile. The larger the perimeter of the material, the higher the teeth.
• The mixture cannot be applied immediately to the whole base. The finished solution is smeared on a part of the surface, which the master will have time to glue in 10-15 minutes, otherwise the glue will lose characteristics. It is advisable to glue the tile immediately after applying the mixture.
