Application steps

Discover the application steps, the products used for this solution and other alternative products.

Drain
PP DRAIN AQUA PROFILPAS

Define the height of the finished floor, taking into account the slope to drain off water.
Position the shower drain and connect it to the drain with a length of push-fit pipe of a suitable diameter.
Once the pipe has been fitted test for watertightness.

Cementitious screed

TOPCEM PRONTO

Create a screed with a 2% slope and level it off flush with the top of the drain flange. Prepare the levelling, spread the mix, saturate and float the surface to obtain a better finish.

Waterproofing alkali-resistant anti-fracture membrane bonded with minimum class C2 adhesive according to EN 12004

MAPEGUARD WP 200

Adhesive

ULTRALITE S1 FLEX ZERO

Apply the adhesive using a notched trowel according to type and format of tiles, so that a good wetting of the back of the tiles is ensured. Where required by UNI 11493-1, use the back-buttering technique.
During the installation of tiles, in order to maintain the correct dimension of grouts and reduce any possible height difference among adjacent tiles, use levelling systems from MAPELEVEL RANGE.

Porcelain tiles

Grouting

KERAPOXY EASY DESIGN

After the adhesive has hardened, fill the grouts in all their depth with the selected grout mix using the dedicated rubber trowel, being careful not to leave hollows or slopes.
After grouting with epoxy mortars carry out “wet” cleaning using a wet sponge and felt disks if necessary (such as Scotch-Brite^®).
If necessary, carry out a final cleaning using ULTRACARE KERAPOXY CLEANER.

Sealant
MAPEFOAM + MAPESIL AC ECO

Seal corners, edges and expansion joints, after inserting MAPEFOAM for correct sizing and then finish the sealant’s surface using ULTRACARE SMOOTH SILICONE.
