What do we need?
Roller, trowel, hard brush, notched, rubber and stainless-steel finishing trowels, cloth
STEP 1
Surface Cleaning: The surface must be thoroughly cleaned of oils, loose or friable materials, dust and other contaminants. Where protrusions are present, such as exposed reinforcement ties, they must be cut to a depth of 3 cm. The surface is thoroughly saturated with water and the affected areas are subsequently repaired using REPIFIX REPAIR WRM 519 or REPIFIX POWER WRM 525.
STEP 2
Surface Levelling: To level irregularities and areas with aggregate segregation in concrete, REPIFIX CLASSIC WRM 515 is applied. The repair mortar is carefully spread, ensuring complete filling and coverage of all voids. Particular attention should be paid to removing entrapped air and avoiding voids. The mortar can be applied at a thickness of up to 2 cm per layer. To ensure uniform strength development and prevent cracking, the finished surface must be kept moist during the first days after application.
STEP 3
Surface Preparation and Waterproofing: SUPER ELASTIC DSF 353 two-component flexible waterproofing mortar is applied onto the properly prepared substrate, ensuring good adhesion across the entire surface. Due to hydrostatic pressure, at least 3–4 cross coats are applied, with a total thickness of at least 3 mm. Each coat is applied after the previous one has dried, approximately 4–6 hours later, without exceeding 24 hours between coats. At joints and connections between horizontal and vertical surfaces, reinforcement with suitable waterproofing tapes or mesh is recommended to ensure watertightness and reduce the risk of cracking.
STEP 4
Tile / Mosaic Installation: After 24 hours, SUPERFLEX VKW 128 tile adhesive is applied, providing high adhesion and flexibility even on demanding substrates. The adhesive is spread and combed using a notched trowel, and the tiles are installed within approximately 30 minutes, pressing them to achieve full contact without vertical slip. The material allows application from top to bottom, while the working time of the mixed material is up to 4 hours.
For large surfaces exceeding 25 m², expansion joints must be provided. Grouting and light foot traffic are permitted after 24 hours, provided that the application temperature is between +5°C and +35°C.
STEP 5
Grouting: EPOXY GROUTECH FMF 155 two-component epoxy grout is applied to clean, dry and properly prepared joints, providing high mechanical and chemical resistance. Application is carried out in sections using a rubber or stainless-steel finishing trowel, diagonally across the joints, ensuring complete filling and removal of excess material.
The surface is cleaned within approximately 45 minutes using a slightly damp sponge, before the material fully hardens. The product offers working time depending on the application temperature, allows light traffic after 24 hours and reaches full serviceability, including in demanding environments such as swimming pools or areas exposed to chemical stresses, after approximately 4 days.
STEP 6
Surrounding Floor Area / Surface Priming: On a clean, dry and sound surface, ANTISLIP PROMOTER adhesion promoter is applied to activate the surface prior to application of the anti-slip system. Application is carried out using a cloth saturated with the product, spreading it evenly over the entire surface to enhance adhesion and remove surface contaminants.
A repeat application can be carried out after 2–3 hours, while the subsequent product should be applied within 24 hours for optimum performance. Particular attention must be paid to ensuring that the substrate is free from moisture and contaminants and that suitable application conditions are maintained.
STEP 7
Surrounding Floor Area: Following surface activation with ANTISLIP PROMOTER, the two-component polyurethane anti-slip coating ANTISLIP is applied, providing high adhesion and protection of the substrate. Application is carried out by roller in 1–2 coats, creating an anti-slip surface even under humid conditions. The second coat is applied within 24 hours of the previous coat, depending on environmental conditions, while the material becomes surface dry in approximately 5–6 hours.
