Note : 

1. This is an average calculation. Actual usage may differ from the estimate. Due to the different surface conditions. Surface absorption and the purpose of the individual's use.

2. For tile sizes larger than 40x40 cm, apply tile adhesive on the surface and a very thin layer on the back of the tile.
Application steps

MIXING

  • Mix SikaTile®-340 Standard 20 kg with 4.8 - 5.4 Litres of clean water with electrical mixer until the

    compound is evenly distributed.

  • Allow the mixture to stand for 2 - 3 minutes for a good reaction and reduce air bubbles before using the adhesive.

APPLICATION

  • Spread tile adhesive by using a notched trowel onto the substrate.
  • Fix tile on tile adhesive and knock it over with a

    rubber hammer.

  • Dual bonding should be applied when the tile size is larger than 25 cm x 25 cm. Apply a thin layer of tile adhesive onto the back of the tile, then fix the tile onto the adhesive substrate.
  • Once the tiles have been laid, leave them to stand for 24 hours or until the tile adhesive is dry before grouting with SikaTile Tile Grout.
