Installation
The product is applied to clean and dry cuts/ membranes of Schlüter®-KERDI, Schlüter®-DITRA 25 or Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT as well as on Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD and Schlüter®-BARA profiles. The suitability of other substrates must be reviewed and evaluated. Depending on the application, the compound can be applied with a flat trowel and then combed with a 3 x 3, 3 x 4 or 4 x 4 mm notched trowel. If the material is mixed to a thinner consistency, it can be applied with a brush or a roller.
Once the adhesive has been applied, the materials should be assembled as quickly as possible by fully embedding them in the adhesive and avoiding air pockets. When installing Schlüter®-KERDI-KEBA, it is recommended to press the sealing band into place by applying pressure with the smooth side of the notched trowel at an oblique angle. As an alternative, a suitable pressure roller may be used. Be careful to avoid the formation of air pockets.
The application and installation instructions in our product data sheets 8.1 Schlüter®-KERDI, 6.1 Schlüter®-DITRA 25, 6.4 Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT, and 12.1 Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD must be observed. The curing and installation time is shorter at higher temperatures.
The ambient temperature for the installation may not fall below 5 °C until the final curing. Protect from moisture until the sealing adhesive has fully cured. Once mixed use the sealant adhesive quickly to prevent the product from skinning over or drying out. The content of open containers must be used within a short time.
