Can I apply CT1 BW1 over existing waterproofing?

It is generally recommended to remove existing waterproofing before applying CT1 BW1 to ensure optimal adhesion. Clean the surface thoroughly before application.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

While primarily designed for interior wet areas, BW1 can be used in some outdoor applications. However, always ensure the surface is protected from direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions.

No, CT1 BW1 is designed to eliminate the need for joint tapes and corner pieces. Its flexibility and bonding strength provide a seamless waterproof layer.

Can I tile directly onto the BW1?

What is the shelf life of CT1 BW1?

Wear appropriate protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Keep out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

The product is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and properly prepared. Roughening the surface can improve adhesion. If needed, apply a primer suitable for the substrate.
