Application of ceramic tiles on painted surfaces

Surface preparation

Care must be taken to ensure that the application area is durable, dry, clean, dust-free and suitable for the next steps. The surface must be free of all oil, rust, thick lubricating oil and paraffin residues that will weaken the adhesion, the surface must be free of debris and the surface must be saturated with moisture. Excess iron debris and wood chips must be removed and any gaps must be repaired on the surface two days in advance with a suitable TAMCRETE® repair material.

Application of ceramic tiles and joint filling

In small-sized ceramic tile applications, C1 class CERAMAX® adhesives according to EN12004-1 standard should be used, and in medium and large-sized ceramic tile applications, high-performance C2 class CERAMAX® products with increased additional features should be used. For long-lasting joint filler FUGAMAX® FLEX should be used which is silicone-based, flexible, and antibacterial.
