- Extended open time
- S1 flexibility for timber floors, swimming pools and underfloor heating systems
Mixing
Once the substrate has been prepared, continue with the tiling installation.
UltraTileFix ProFlex SPES should be added slowly to clean water in a suitable clean mixing tub and mixed thoroughly using a drill/mixer and paddle to give a slump free, easily worked mortar consistency. Once mixed the mortar is immediately ready for use and has a pot life of approximately 2 hours at 20˚C. Mix only sufficient material to be used within the pot life of the product. Do not remix or rewet/dilute product which has aged and is starting to thicken or set.

Application
Apply the adhesive to the required thickness (limits 3mm – 20mm) in areas up to 1m² at a time. For internal walls use a notched trowel to the following notch dimensions to provide solid rib lines:
| Mosaic tiles | 3mm x 3mm at 6mm centres |
|---|---|
| General wall tiles | 5mm x 5mm at 10mm centres |
| General floor tiles | 8mm x 8mm at 16 mm centres |
For floors and external applications we advise to use the solid bed method.
This involves applying a uniform bed of adhesive to the floor and "buttering" the back of the tile with the same adhesive. When the tiles are bedded with a twisting action, pressing firmly down it ensures 100% contact is made with both the floor and the tile.
When fitting tiles leave spaces between each of the tiles to allow for grouting (approx: walls 1mm – 3mm and floors 2mm – 12mm).
Before the tile adhesive sets clean off the excess adhesive from the face of the tile and grout joints with a clean damp cloth or sponge.
