Apply the adhesive using the double-buttering method (in straight lines parallel to the short side of the tiles). Use a trowel with sloping notches (minimum notch size 10 mm) to spread the adhesive on the substrate and a trowel with 3-4 mm square notches for the adhesive on the back of the tiles. While installing the tiles use levelling systems from the MapeLevel line to maintain the correct width for the grouts and to reduce lippage between adjacent tiles.
Once the adhesive has set, carefully fill the grouts to their full depth using a rubber trowel without leaving gaps or steps. After filling the grouts with epoxy mortar clean the surface while the mortar is still wet fresh with a cellulose sponge dipped in water and a Scotch-Brite® pad where required. Carry out any final cleaning required using UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner.
Seal the perimeter and expansion joints after inserting Mapefoam to set the correct depth and then finish off the surface of the sealant with UltraCare Smooth Silicone.
