Tiling Products

A thin-bed cement-based adhesive for the fixing of ceramic floor, wall tiles and mosaics. It has been specially formulated for use over sand / cement render.

• Non-toxic, easy to apply and no wetting of tiles required when fixing.
• Ideal for fixing ceramic tiles, mosaic & quarry tiles in bathrooms or kitchen etc.

Ensure surfaces must be firm and clean from dust, paint and other contaminats. Steel float concrete floors must be acid etched prior to tiling.

Mixing
Mix the 25kg powder with 25% of clean water to a creamy consistency. Mix sufficient to last 30 - 60 minutes. Allow mixture to stand for 8 - 10 minutes. Mixture should be used within 2 hours.

Application
Sand/ cement render should be left with a woodfloat finish. It must be clean and free from dust and oil. Allow 7 days after rendering before fixing tiles with PYE FIX. Use a notched trowel to spread the adhesive on the surface to a thickness of about 3mm for flat-backed ceramic tiles. Tiles with grooves, ridges or knobs on the back should be laid using 6mm x 6mm notched trowel. Press tiles in place with a twisting motion. Firmly tap the tile with the handle of a hammer or rubber mallet whilst positioning the tiles. When laying large areas, ensure that expansion joints are incorporated in the design stage.

Do not spread more than 1sq. metre at a time. Should the adhesive dry up due to a long delay, remove the adhesive and comb out a fresh layer. Do not soak tiles in water.

Cleaning of Equipment
Clean all tools and application equipment with clean water immediately after use. Hardened or cured material can only be removed mechanically.
