Surface Preparation
Careful surface preparation is crucial for optimal results. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound before application.
- Plaster: New plaster must be at least 4 weeks old. Prime with EVERBUILD PVA diluted 1:3 with water.
- Plasterboard/Plywood/Chipboard: Brace with seasoned timber at 300mm intervals. Seal all surfaces with EVERBUILD SBR diluted 1:4 with water.
- Sand/Cement Render: Allow at least four weeks drying time. Prime with EVERBUILD PVA.
- Brickwork/Blockwork/Concrete Block: Allow at least 4 weeks drying time. Do not fix directly to blockwork.
- Existing Glazed Tiles/Formica: Roughen the surface with abrasive sander and prime with EVERBUILD PVA diluted 1:1 with water.
- Painted Surfaces: Ensure the surface is properly prepared.
Application
- Apply the adhesive directly from the tub.
- Use a notched trowel to spread the adhesive evenly.
- Position the tiles and press firmly.
- Allow at least 7 days for the adhesive to dry before exposing the tiled area to water.
