What do we need?
Roller, trowel, brush, sponge, notched and stainless-steel finishing trowel, spray gun or plastering machine, plastering trowel.
STEP 1
Masonry Construction: For masonry construction and the formation of structural elements, we apply MIX 280, a cement-based masonry mortar. The material is applied in a uniform layer with a thickness of 1.5–2.0 cm, ensuring full contact and strong adhesion between the masonry elements and the substrate. During installation, the elements are properly aligned and levelled, while the joints are completely filled without voids. Upon completion, excess mortar is removed and the surfaces are cleaned with a damp sponge. The wall can receive render after approximately 24 hours.
STEP 2
Spatter Coat Application: Before applying the final render, we apply SHP 205 Spatter Coat. The material is mechanically applied using a spray gun or plastering machine and, where required, manually using a plastering trowel. It is evenly distributed over masonry, concrete and ceilings, creating a rough surface that acts as a bonding bridge for subsequent render coats. It is applied at a thickness of 5 mm, ensuring complete coverage of the surfaces and voids. SHP 205 contributes to uniform substrate absorption and proper surface preparation for the final rendering.
STEP 3
Final Render Coat: We apply NHP 255 WR Water-Repellent Render. The material is mechanically applied using a continuous mixing or plastering machine and, where required, manually. It is evenly applied over SHP 205 Spatter Coat, on masonry, concrete and other suitably prepared surfaces, ensuring excellent adhesion, levelling and final finishing in a single coat. It is applied at a thickness of 10–20 mm, providing complete surface coverage and creating a smooth and uniform finish. NHP 255 WR is water-repellent, allows the surface to breathe and contributes to the high durability and long-term protection of the render.
STEP 4
Waterproofing: On the suitably prepared substrate, we apply FLEX DSF 350, a two-component flexible waterproofing mortar, ensuring good adhesion over the entire surface. The material is applied in at least 2–3 cross coats, with a total thickness of at least 3 mm. Each coat is applied after the previous one has dried, approximately 4–6 hours later, avoiding an interval of more than 24 hours between coats.
STEP 5
Tile Installation: After 24 hours, we apply GEL FLEX VKW 124 tile adhesive. The adhesive is evenly spread and combed using a suitable notched trowel. The tiles are installed by applying sufficient pressure to ensure full contact and strong adhesion. GEL FLEX VKW 124 has zero vertical slip, allowing tiles to be safely installed on vertical surfaces. Excess adhesive is removed from the joints before setting. Grouting can be carried out after approximately 24 hours, depending on curing conditions.
STEP 6
Grouting: After approximately 24 hours, we apply LUX GROUTECH FMF 160, a coloured cementitious grout, to the tile joints. The material is applied to clean and dry joints using a rubber float, ensuring their complete filling and uniform finishing. Excess material is removed with a damp sponge before complete setting. LUX GROUTECH FMF 160 offers high mechanical strength, excellent colour stability, water-repellent properties and protection against fungal growth.
STEP 7
Sealants: For sealing joints and connections, we apply KITCHEN & BATH SILICONE SEALANT. The material is applied to clean and dry surfaces using a suitable application gun. After application, the surface is smoothed with a finishing tool before skin formation. The silicone provides strong adhesion and resistance to moisture, water and ageing, making it suitable for applications in kitchens and around sinks.
