MICROCEMENT IN BATHROOMS

MICROCEMENT IN WET ZONES


AT NEW SEALING LAYERS

Wet rooms are treated just as if you were laying tiles. Wet rooms are divided into different zones that must be treated in different ways. This is followed according to GVK's instructions with a waterproofing layer in the required place.

After the waterproofing layers are in place, a thin layer of fixing compound is puttyed before coating the surface with Vitruvius Microcement. It is important that the adhesive is from the same manufacturer as the waterproofing layer, otherwise it may affect your guarantees.

OTHER+-

If your manufacturer is not on the list, it means that we have not yet received a response from them. Then we would like you to add a reinforcing mesh in the adhesive on the surfaces that are loaded with water. Feel free to contact us or them and we will surely come up with a solution.

MICROCEMENT ON EXISTING TILE

When you are going to lay Vitruvius on top of tiles/clinkers, you need to smooth the surface first, otherwise a grid pattern is visible in the flammability.

You use the same fix and primer as if you were to put 'tile on tile'. Then the fix is ​​puttyed diagonally over the joints in 2 layers!.

Always putty 2 layers, even if it feels smooth, a grid pattern can still appear if you only putty one layer.

WET ROOM CARPETS

Wet room carpets must first be checked for hardness. For example, press a spoon hard against the carpet, it should not flex. It should also be stuck everywhere.

After the inspection, the surface is lightly sanded to clean. Then wash with cleaning alcohol, e.g. T-red.

This removes a plasticizer that can affect the mount.
