AS (2007) Ceramic Tiles; Part : Guide to the Installation of Ceramic Tiles 2. AS (992) Ceramic Tiles; Part 2: Guide to the Selection of a Ceramic Tiling System.2 CONCRETE SUBSTRATE PREPERATION All substrates must be structurally sound, dry, solid and stable. Any laitance, dust, grease, oil, paint or curing compounds present on the surface of the concrete substrate that may inhibit bond, shall be mechanically removed. The substrate should then be cleaned and prepared in accordance with the relevant standards and as per the MAPEI technical data sheets (TDS)..3 LEVELLLING MATERIAL Levelling material to be chosen from the following options: A. ADESILEX P4 ( AUS) Smoothing mortar. High performance, rapid-setting, full contact, cementitious adhesive for ceramic tile and stone material installations; smoothing compound for interiors and exteriors; mortar for brick and concrete block walls. à Apply using an appropriate trowel, as specified on the TDS. B. TOPCEM PRONTO ( AUS) Engineered screed. Ready-to-use normal setting, controlled-shrinkage mortar for quick-drying screeds. Can receive tiling in 24 hours as opposed to roughly 3 weeks for a normal sand/cement screed according to AS NOTE: Prior to the application of the screed: à Ensure a slurry coat of PLANICRETE SP ( ) mixed with TOPCEM ( AUS) has been applied. Refer to the TDS for mixing details, à Ensure screed is applied over the slurry coat whilst the slurry coat is still wet. à Screed to be in accordance with AS3958. (2007). à Mix water and TOPCEM PRONTO in strict accordance with the ratios described in the TDS. à Ensure a minimum thickness of 0 mm is applied. C. UC LEVELLER ( AUS) Levelling compound (Internal only). Fast hardening levelling smoothing compound for thicknesses from 3 mm to 70 mm: especially recommended for pumping. NOTE: Prior to the application of the levelling compound: à Apply primer ECO PRIM T PLUS ( ) with a brush or roller diluted in accordance with the TDS. à Spread the levelling compound in thicknesses from 3 to 70 mm per application, using a large metal trowel or float, tilting the trowel slightly to obtain the desired thickness.

5 Ceramic/Stone System Internal & External Installation of Tiles over Uneven Concrete C0 2/08/207.4 ADHESIVE NOTE: Natural stone can be subjected to warping and staining, therefore Mapei recommends when using natural stone to refer to the manufactures guidelines. Adhesive selection for natural stone is also dependant on its moisture sensitiveness, which is represented by a class system. Please refer to EN467 and the Mapei technical notebook Laying Stone Materials for more information. Adhesive to be chosen from the following options: Normal-Set A. ULTRALITE S ( AUS) GOOD Solution. One-component, high-performance, flexible, lightweight, cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip and long open time and extremely high yield. Easy to apply by trowel with excellent wetting properties, very low emission of volatile organic compounds for ceramic tiles, stone (Class A) and thin porcelain tiles. NOTE: Option B required when applying externally with >5000 cm 2 (700x700 mm) tiles. B. KERABOND PLUS / ISOLASTIC ( , ) BEST Solution. Cement based powder with superior bond strength suitable for all types of tiles and natural stone (non-moisture sensitive, Class A), with a latex additive to improve the adhesive s characteristics and to elasticize the adhesive. Rapid-Set C. KERAQUICK S ( AUS) GOOD Solution. High performance, deformable, fast setting cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip, for ceramic tiles and stone material (Class A/B*). NOTE: Option D required when applying externally with >5000 cm 2 (700x700 mm) tiles. D. KERAQUICK S + LATEX PLUS ( , ) BEST Solution. High performance, deformable, fast setting cementitious adhesive with no vertical slip, for ceramic tiles and stone material (Class A/B*) with a latex additive to elasticize the adhesive. Resin-Based E. KERALASTIC T ( ). Two component, high performance polyurethane adhesive for ceramic tiles and stone material (Class A/B*/C**). à To ensure good adhesion, apply a thin coat of the adhesive with the straight edge of the trowel. Immediately follow this with a layer of adhesive at the correct thickness using a suitable notched trowel. à Adhesive should also be applied to the back of the tile/stone (back-buttering). à Ensure the adhesive stays fresh and does not form a skin, especially in hot environments, prior to the application of the tile/stone. à Place the tile/stone firmly into position with a slight twisting motion, merging the adhesives together wet-on-wet, to ensure good contact coverage is achieved. à It is recommended that once the first tile/stone is laid, it should then be removed to assess the coverage. If it is acceptable, then continue, if it is not acceptable, reassess the trowel used and the application technique. MAPEI Australia Pty.

Ensure flexible fillet is dry and fully cured if used before applying membrane. à Ensure structural joints are sealed and applied with MAPEBAND TPE ( ) in strict accordance with the TDS, à Prime the surface with a coat of AQUAFLEX ROOF diluted with 0% water. à Apply two dry coats of AQUAFLEX ROOF approximately 0.4 to 0.5 mm thick each with a suitable long-haired roller, brush or airless spray. à It is recommended (required when micro cracks are present) to lay MAPETEX SEL ( GB) or MAPETEX 50 ( GB) reinforcement mesh into the wet first coat of the waterproofing membrane, ensuring it is completely embedded, in strict accordance with the TDS. à Wait until the first coat is completely dry and that it becomes slightly dark in colour (Approx. 8-2 hours) before applying the second coat in a criss-cross direction to the first. à Floor waterproofing membrane to be returned up wall substrates over the bond breaker/tape in accordance with AS and the TDS, and returned down into wastes. à Ensure termination of membrane is in accordance with AS MAPEI provides technical data sheets (TDS) for all products which should be read in conjunction with this Work Method Statement.

AS (202) Waterproofing membranes for external above-ground use Part 2: Design and installation.2 SUBSTRATE PREPERATION All substrates must be structurally sound, dry, solid and stable. Any laitance, dust, grease, oil, paint or curing compounds present on the surface of the substrate that may inhibit bond, shall be mechanically removed. The substrate should then be cleaned and prepared in accordance with the relevant standards and as per the MAPEI technical data sheets (TDS)..3 WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE A. MAPELASTIC SMART ( GB). Two component, high flexibility cementitious mortar (with crack-bridging capacity >2 mm) applied by trowel or roller for waterproofing balconies, terraces, bathrooms and swimming pools. NOTE: Prior to the application of the waterproofing membrane: à Junctions Option A: Apply a bond breaker/tape with MAPEBAND ( ) or MAPEBAND SA ( ) at wall/wall, wall/floor junctions and all other areas where movement is expected. à Junctions Option B: Apply a flexible fillet with MAPEFLEX PU45 FT ( GB) with the membrane reinforced with MAPETEX SEL ( GB) at all wall/wall, wall/floor junctions and other areas where movement is expected à Ensure substrate has adequate falls in accordance with Clause of AS à Waterproofing membrane must be applied in at least three coats by trowel or with a roller within 60 minutes of it being mixed, to give a final thickness (DFT) of at least 2 mm. à Lay MAPENET 50 ( ) glass fibre mesh into the wet first coat of the waterproofing membrane, ensuring the MAPENET 50 is completely embedded, in strict accordance with the TDS. à Floor waterproofing membrane to be returned up wall substrates over the bond breaker/tape or flexible fillet in accordance with AS and the TDS, and returned down into wastes. à Ensure waterproofing membrane is adequately protected from point loads and abrasion from the pedestal system and any other potential cause of damage.
