    Application steps

    NOTES ON INSTALLATION

    Grouting should preferably be carried out at least 24 hours after the completion of tiling. For best results use Davco Standard Tile Grout.

    MIXING

    Add one 25kg bag of Davco® Dustless Premium Tile Adhesive to approximately 5 to 6 liters of clean water, mixing continuously until a lump-free, creamy consistency is achieved.

    APPLICATION

     

    Allow the mix to stand for 1 - 2 minutes; remix then use the adhesive. Spread the adhesive onto the substrate using either a 6mm x 6mm notched trowel for wall tiling, or 10mm x 10mm notched trowel for floor tiling. The choice of trowel should be determined by the size of the tiles, depth of knobs, grooves or ridges on the back of the tile and evenness of the substrate.

    • 6mm x 6mm notched trowel is recommended for mosaic tiles.
    • Thicker bed of adhesive allow for better contact to the substrate as well as picking up unevenness especially in the case of slates.
    • For tiles with deep grooves or ridges, such as slate or lugged backed tiles, the adhesive should be butter coated onto the back of the tiles in addition to being notched - trowelled onto the substrate.
    • Do not spread more than 1 m2 / sqm of adhesive at a time. Ensure that the adhesive is wet when the tiles are laid and tapped into position to ensure that there are no voids under the tiles.
    • Install tiles within the duration of the open time.
    • Do not disturb or walk-on tiles until they are laid for 24 hours from the installation within.
