There is one thing you can count on when approaching a wall tile installation…the walls are rarely plumb and true. In the past, fixing the problem would be time-consuming and problematic. The gypsum or cement boards would have to be removed to address the issue from the studs. Worse yet, an installer may be tempted to 'flatten as he goes', using mortar to build up low spots as the tile is being installed. As tiles get larger, having a way to effectively flatten or 'render' a wall becomes increasingly important.
You spoke and we listened. MAPEI Corporation has now come out with a product to make your job easier! Planitop® 330 Fast is a quick-setting, polymer-modified, fiber-reinforced cementitious rendering, patching, and leveling mortar. You can now fix out-of-plumb cement backer units, gypsum wallboard and plaster (primed), shotcrete and pool plaster, as well as masonry cement block, brick and cement mortar beds. Planitop® 330 Fast can be applied from 1/8” to 1 ¼” inch (3 to 30 cm). Ready for waterproofing application in just 24 hours and for the installation of tile or stone in 4 hours at 68° F or +20° C.
