Description
Preparation Stage
- Prepare the installation area. Granites should be installed on a substrate that is stable, cured, and level.
- Install level markers and string lines to ensure straightness, precision, and ease of work during installation.
- Clear the substrate of any debris, dust, moss, or oil, as these contaminants can reduce adhesion strength.
- Pre-wetting is recommended to lightly dampen both the substrate and the tiles with water before starting.
Mixing Stage
- Pour approximately ± 6-6,5 liters of clean water into a mixing bucket for every bag of ECO-400 (40 kg).
- Gradually add the ECO-400 Granite Tile Adhesive powder into the water.
- Stir the mixture until it reaches a smooth, lump-free consistency. Using an electric mixer is highly recommended for best results.
Application Stage
- Apply the adhesive manually using a notched trowel as per standard practices.
- The ideal adhesive bed thickness is ± 3 mm.
Important Precautions
- Do not add other materials such as cement, sand, or additives to the mix.
- Prepare only the necessary amount of mixture. Ensure the batch is used within a maximum of 60 minutes.
- Apply the adhesive tile by tile (or in small sections) to prevent the mixture from drying before the tiles are set.
- Large-format tiles (60×60 cm or larger) or tiles with uneven back surfaces, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the tile (back-buttering) to ensure 100% coverage.
- Using a notched trowel prevents air from being trapped under the tile, ensuring a perfect bond and preventing tiles from lifting or popping.
