Additional information

1. On smooth or glazed existing tiles, roughen the surface with abrasive brushes and remove all dust before continuing with the system shown.
2. The build-up layer and the new ceramic or stone covering must be kept away from the perimeter walls with expanded PE strips, so that they do not butt against the plaster.
3. Avoid drafts in the rooms by keeping windows and doors closed for the first 24-48 hours after laying the build-up layer.
4. See the individual product data sheets for application methods and precautions.
