SUBSTRATE PREPARATION:
The substrate must be level, solid, load-bearing, clean, free from grease and dust, and all existing coatings must be physically removed beforehand. Before applying the adhesive, the surface must be treated with an appropriate primer depending on the type of substrate to which the tiles are to be bonded.

ADHESIVE PREPARATION:
Mix KERAMIKFLEX 116 with water to the required consistency (8 ± 0.25 l of water), ensuring a lump-free mixture, using a mixer at a maximum speed of 500 rpm. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, then mix again.

ADHESIVE APPLICATION:
To apply KERAMIKFLEX 116 to the substrate, use an appropriate notched trowel selected according to the tile dimensions. A minimum of 90% of the tile surface must be covered with adhesive for interior applications, and 100% coverage must be achieved for exterior applications and underfloor heating.

BONDING CERAMIC TILES:
When bonding porcelain tiles, tiles over underfloor heating, as well as all types of ceramic tiles where one side exceeds 40 cm, a thin layer of adhesive must also be applied to the back of the tile using the flat side of the trowel. For tiles exceeding 60 cm, use a notched trowel with 4 mm teeth on the back of the tile to achieve 100% adhesive coverage when laying the tiles.
