Yes, MAPEI's Type 1 adhesive and Premium Mortar for tile and stone can be used to set tile over cement board and fiber cement board.
Important: If Mapelastic AquaDefense membrane has been used to waterproof the cement board, a premixed adhesive cannot be used.
After creating a slope with a fresh mud bed using MAPEI's 4 to 1 Mud Bed Mix, the area should be allowed to cure for at least 24 hours per inch (centimeter) plus one day before application of MAPEI's Mapelastic AquaDefense. For example, if the mud bed is at 2" (5 cm) depth at its highest level, then you must wait three days before the application of Mapelastic AquaDefense. Curing time is based on a temperature of 73°F (23°C). Cooler temperatures will require longer curing times. If your project is on a fast track, consider Planislope RS mortar, which can receive waterproofing in a matter of hours.
MAPEI's Ultracolor Plus FA and Ultracolor Plus Max grouts are a great choice for grouting installations of pebble stone and river-rock mosaics.
Ready-to-use tile adhesives such as MAPEI's Type 1 and Premium Mortar for tile and stone require a porous substrate to cure properly. They should not be installed over a waterproofing membrane.
MAPEI's Keracolor U grout is unsanded. So, it's a great choice for grouting most installations of glossy wall tile. Other good options are Ultracolor Plus FA grout and Ultracolor Plus Max grout. When grouting installations of antique or handmade wall tile, it is recommended to build a mockup (sample board) or, at the very least, test these products in an inconspicuous area before grouting.
