Surface Preparation

  • Ensure the ceramics are well-adhered so they do not move during application, meaning attention must be paid to ensure the adhesive is completely dry.

  • On surfaces where the laying process is completed, any dust, dirt, sawdust, construction, and cement residues remaining inside the joint gaps must be thoroughly cleaned with a thin stick or brush.

  • It must be ensured that the joint gaps are at least 2/3 of the ceramic thickness.

  • The cleaned gaps must be moistened with the help of a wet sponge.
