1 Sopro FDP 558 tile insulation board Rotproof, resin-bonded, polyester fibreboard as separating layer on critical substrates impact-sound insulating thermal insulation available in six different thicknesses low construction heights universal application EC1 PLUS ( very-low-emission-plus ) rating under German EMICODE system for walls and floors for indoor use with official test reports for loads up to 5 kn / m 2 Use Composition 2 and 4 mm FDP 558: Separating board incorporated as separating layer to allow installation of ceramic coverings on strong, deformation-sensitive wall and floor substrates, e. g. on composite substrates, on young, shrinkage-prone concrete surfaces or over floor heating systems. Does not impair floor heating performance. 7 and 9 mm FDP 558: Universal underlay and insulation board for retrofitting in wall and floor constructions on refurbishment and renovation contracts to improve impact sound and thermal insulation performance. As separating layer for use in refurbishment of old wood-board flooring and existing tiling, and for improving rigidity. As impact sound insulation for installation of stair assemblies with ceramic coverings. Also used to insulate retrofitted electric floor heating systems from screed, thereby improving heating capacity and speed. 12 and 15 mm FDP 558: Comfort insulation board for application to poorly insulated wall and floor surfaces to improve underfoot comfort and impact sound insulation performance. To improve rigidity, e. g. for renovation of timber joist floors with particleboard covering, and as separating layer for refurbishment of existing tiling. Also used to insulate retrofitted electric floor heating systems from screed, thereby improving heating capacity and speed. Pressed, resin-bonded, polyester fibreboard. Poses no health hazards.

2 Application of 9 mm Sopro FDP 558 to wood-board flooring 1 Wood-board flooring to be overlaid with ceramic covering as part of refurbishment scheme. 2 First secure elastic floorboards with wood screws. 3 Check wood-board flooring for levelness. Uneven flooring requires levelling out. Start by sealing floorboard joints with Sopro DA acrylic sealant to prevent escape of flow-applied floorlevelling compound. 5 Install perimeter insulation strip, e. g. Sopro RDS 960, at junctions with all vertical elements (walls). 6 Pretreat prepared wood-board flooring with Sopro HPS 673 special primer 2

3 7 Pour flexible Sopro FAS 551 fibre-reinforced self-levelling filler directly onto wood-board flooring. 8 Spread and compact filler using spiked roller to create plane, level surface. 9 After filler has dried, apply e. g. Sopro s No. 1 flexible tile adhesive to plane, level substrate. 10 Place Sopro FDP 558 tile insulation board into freshly applied adhesive so as to ensure full bedding. 11 For cutting Sopro FDP 558 board to size, use e. g. keyhole saw. 12 Sopro FDP 558 boards are easy to lay as they only require butt-jointing. 3

4 13 Lay FDP 558 board with joints staggered in adjacent rows. Tape over joints between board with masking tape to 14 prevent mortar bridges (structure-borne sound transmission). To install ceramic covering, apply e. g. Sopro s No. 1 flexible tile adhesive to Sopro FDP 558 board using notched 15 trowel. 16 Lay ceramic tiles in freshly placed adhesive bed. 17 Finish joints in covering using e. g. Sopro DF 10 flexible designer tile grout. 18 Freshly installed and grouted ceramic covering with separating layer over timber substrate. 4

5 Good-practice tips for laying Sopro FDP 558 board 1 Prior to laying Sopro FDP 558 tile insulation board e. g. on particleboard, screw particleboard securely to base. 2 Accurate measurement of room or space is recommended prior to installation. 3 Mark Sopro FDP 558 board to ensure accurate cutting. 4 Maintain a distance of 15 mm from wall.

6 Properties Substrate preparations Priming Application Test reports Rotproof, pressed, resin-bonded polyester fibreboard in six thicknesses for use as stress-relieving separating layer between ceramic coverings and critical or deformation-sensitive substrates, e. g. for refurbishment of old wood-board flooring, and for retrofitting of impact sound and thermal insulation. Suitable for use under ceramic tiling, natural stone coverings, carpet, linoleum, PVC or parquet flooring. The substrate should be dry, clean, solid, strong, level and free from any adhesion-impairing substances. Suitable substrates include: concrete, cement screeds, calcium sulphate-based (anhydrite) screeds, plasterwork and flush-jointed masonry, mastic asphalt, existing terrazzo coverings, tiling, particleboard/chipboard and timber floorboards. Pretreat absorbent substrates with Sopro GD 749 primer, smooth, non-absorbent and closed-pore substrates with Sopro HPS 673 special primer. Please observe technical product information for relevant Sopro primer! To prevent sound transmission at edge of covering, prior to tile laying install perimeter insulation strip (e. g. Sopro RDS 960) to match thickness of covering. Loose lay Sopro FDP 558 board and ensure accurate fit, with joints staggered in adjacent rows. Leave 10 mm perimeter gap with mineral substrates and 15 mm gap with timber substrates. Use utility knife, keyhole saw or circular saw with coarse saw blade for cutting. Remove board and apply flexible Sopro thin-bed or floating-bed adhesive using notched trowel with 6 8 mm serration. Suitable adhesives, depending on application and nature of substrate, include: Sopro s No.1 flexible tile adhesive, Sopro s No.1 rapid-set flexible tile adhesive, Sopro FKM 444 XL multi-purpose extralight flexible tile adhesive, Sopro MG-Flex 669 highly flexible tile adhesive, Sopro VF XL 413 VarioFlex large-format flexible tile adhesive or Sopro VarioFlex 419 rapid-set tile adhesive or Sopro VF HF 420 high-strength tile adhesive. Then place Sopro FDP 558 board in fresh adhesive bed and press down firmly. Apply only as much adhesive as can be covered by sheet before adhesive skins over. Where Sopro FDP 558 is used as impact sound insulation, tape over panel joints with masking tape (e. g. 20 mm wide Tesakrepp) to prevent mortar bridges (structure-borne sound transmission). Subsequently, when surface is walkable, lay ceramic tiles, depending on application, using flexible Sopro thin-bed or floating-bed adhesive and grout Sopro DF 10 flexible designer tile grout, Sopro FL flexible tile grout or Sopro Brillant water-repellent tile grout. When installed in damp or wet spaces, Sopro FDP 558 board should be waterproofed using e. g. Sopro FDF flexible sealing compound, Sopro DSF 423/523/623 flexible sealing slurry or Sopro TDS 823 twocomponent turbo sealing slurry. Where installed below carpets, linoleum or PVC-flooring apply 4-5 mm coat of suitable Sopro selflevelling filler (FAS 551 fibre-reinforced self-levelling filler) over Sopro FDP 558 tile insulation board as a load-spreading layer. Note: Use of Sopro TDP 565 or Sopro TEB 664 impact sound insulation and separating layer, with impact sound improvement index of up to 16 db* and 17 db* respectively, is recommended where more stringent impact sound insulation requirements are specified. For further details, please consult our technical product information on the relevant products. The impact sound reduction values determined and stated by the test institute are not always applicable to particular construction projects due to differences between the project-specific assembly and the standard test set-up. The performance of trial installations and measurements is therefore recom-mended, in each case, to establish the actual impact sound reduction index achievable on site!
