Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease.
- Apply the self-priming waterproof membrane paste evenly to the joints, corners, and edges where the tape will be applied.
- While the paste is still wet, embed the Thermopanel waterproof sealing tape firmly into the membrane. Ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.
- For internal and external corners, apply the pre-formed corner pieces, embedding them into the membrane paste and ensuring they overlap correctly with the tape.
- Apply a second coat of membrane paste over the tape and corner pieces, feathering the edges to ensure a continuous waterproof layer.
- Allow the membrane to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before tiling.
Compatibility:
This tanking kit is designed to work seamlessly with most standard tile adhesives and waterproofing systems. It is suitable for use on various substrates commonly found in bathrooms and wet rooms, including plasterboard, concrete, and cement board.
Care:
Once the tiles are installed, the waterproof membrane system requires no special care beyond standard bathroom cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the tile grout or sealant.
