Applying in beads and spots with adhesive ULTRALITE S1 FLEX ZERO the waterproofing multipurpose panel MAPEGUARD BOARD

Cut the panels to the size required with a cutter. Apply the beads and spots of adhesive on the panels and bond them directly to the substrate.

Adhesive

ULTRALITE S1 FLEX ZERO

Apply the adhesive on the substrate with a notched trowel suitable for the type and format of the tiles to ensure the back of the tiles is sufficiently wetted. Use the double-buttering method where specified by UNI 11493-1. 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.

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.
