3.29
APPLY DETAILING ACCESSORIES

Install Elastoproof pre-made corners, pipe penetration collars and tapes using the Gripset 2P® ensure the fleece sections are saturated and bonded to the substrate.

Elastofabric tapes and corners are used at floor to wall junctions on external decks and other areas where movement is possible.

3.30
APPLY GRIPSET 2P® MEMBRANE

Apply the first coat of Gripset 2P® using a 13 nap roller fleece ensuring a wet film coverage of 1.0mm including the over coating of the installed Elastoproof detail accessories.  Apply a second coat in the opposite direction a minimum of 4 hours after the first coating ensuring a wet film coverage of 1.0mm and leave to dry and cure.

Coverage is dependent upon surface condition and will vary accordingly.  Uneven surfaces will require greater coverage to achieve the specified film thickness.

Drying time varies with temperature, humidity and surface porosity.  Tack free time: 30 to 60 minutes; recoat time: 2 - 4 hours; over Gripset 2P® : next coat may be applied while first coat is wet.  Drying time of membrane: 24 - 48 hours at 20º C normal ambient temperature.  Tile 48 hours after application of the final coat or when fully cured.

3.31
APPLY GRIPSET 11Y SLURRY

Where Schluter 25, tileJAK® timber raft system or tileJAK® pedestal system is to be installed over the Gripset 2P® system, apply 2 coats of the Gripset 11Y slurry system in accordance with manufacturer's installation instructions, as protection against scuffing and mechanical damage.

3.32
EXPOSED GRIPSET MEMBRANE

Where Gripset 2P® is not covered with trafficable finishes, prime the Gripset 2P® with GP primer and apply 2 coats of WPS acrylic high build coating as the UV and protection coating.  Where Gripset 2P® will be directly trafficked on fully sand blind the WPS acrylic HiBuild for hard wearing protection.

3.33
EXPOSED GRIPSET MEMBRANE - FOR POTABLE WATER TANKS

Gripset 2P® must always be left to cure for 14 days then over coat with Gripset 2P®, 2mm dry film thickness as membrane protection.

3.34
SEALANT

Use Waterproofing Systems MS40 sealant adhesive with Gripset 2P® SBR systems ensure the membrane is clean and free from contaminants before applying the WPS MS40 sealant.

3.35
DRYING TIME / PROTECTION

Do not leave membrane exposed for prolonged periods to UV light and the possibility of mechanical damage.  Protect the completed membrane system from mechanical damage until tiling begins.  Apply the tiling / overlay once the Gripset 2P® membrane is dried and fully cured.  Drying time in ambient conditions is a minimum of 24 hours, in cold damp conditions allow a longer drying time.

Application - uncoupling membrane

If the selected tiles to be installed over uncoupling membrane are dark grey or black contact WPS for further advice.

3.36
PREPARE MEMBRANE

Lay uncoupling membrane sheets leaving 6mm clearance from all abutments and with all sheet edges tightly butted.  Apply hand pressure using a wooden float or steel trowel.

3.38
SEAL EDGES & TAPE JOINTS

Seal perimeter edges with WPS MS sealant and apply Schluter self-stick flashing tape.  Ensure tape extends 10mm onto waterproof membrane upstand and balance over uncoupling mat.  Pressure roll into place.

3.39
TILIING OVER UNCOUPLING MEMBRANE

Using a flat steel trowel ensure uncoupling mat notched recesses are fulled with selected tile adhesive.  Fully back butter tiles and install tiles.  Ensure tile adhesive is cleaned from 6mm perimeter abutment joint.  Apply Construction Chemicals Sealflex sealant over a backer rod into the 6mm perimeter gap at the junction of the floor tile and the wall upstand.

Application - movement joints
3.40
FORM MOVEMENT AND EXPANSION JOINTS

Install movement joints to go right through the tile and bed to the background, maintaining any waterproofing.  Ensure any slip layer backing (bond breaker) required, is installed.  Joint width minimums:

 

  • 4-6mm interior tiles on concrete (with low moisture content)
  • 6-8mm interior tiles on dry timber structure
  • 8-10mm exterior tiles on concrete (with low moisture content)
  • 10-12mm exterior tiles on dry timber structure
  • To match grout width, if equal/larger than above
  • Larger to suit joint infill requirements (preformed jointers)

 

In wall tiling provide joints at; internal vertical corners, as well as joints at, floors, columns/beams, nibs, hobs and similar. Provide joints around sanitary fixtures, around fixtures interrupting the tile surface, at junctions with joinery fixtures, including window and door frames and built in cupboards, and at changes in substrate or background.  In large area wall tiling provide vertical joints at not more than 3.6 metres spacing along the length of a wall and horizontal joints at each storey rise in the height of a wall, and over all existing substrate expansion joints.

 

In large areas of floor tiling provide joints at not more than 4 metres spacing in both directions and 3.6 metres externally.  Provide expansion joints, at the perimeter of tile floors, at changes of level or slope, around structural features, changes in substrate, around sanitary fixtures and other fixtures interrupting the tile surface, and over all existing substrate expansion joints.

Joint width minimums above, based on light coloured porcelain tiles on unheated surfaces.

Joint width minimums must be increase if greater movement is expected due to, structural movement, tile or substrate types, heat expansion due to direct sunlight or floor heating, dark tile colour exposed to sunlight, pool surrounds,  For instance, Marble may expand when heated 10 times more than a Porcelain.

It is recommended to detail mid-wall or mid-floor locations on the drawings.  Modify clause to suit project.

3.41
MOVEMENT AND EXPANSION JOINTS, INSTALL RIGID JOINTS

Metal or plastic joints, refer to SELECTIONS.

 

Accurately locate as detailed and fix joints insitu, with the bedding, or on top of the bedding, to finish flush with the installed tile and to the tile manufacturer's requirements.  Fit and fix rubber/rubber compound inserts to finish flush.

There are many types of expansion joint available.  When selecting tiles establish the joint system required for that situation.  Modify this clause if joints requiring a flexible compound instead of rubber compounds.

Use Latham type metal single piece expansion joint installed at nominally 3m grid for tiling over Schluter uncoupling membrane.

3.42
MOVEMENT AND EXPANSION JOINTS, INSTALL COMPOUND/SEALANT FILL

Carefully clean out the joint, insert the backing rod if required and fill with compound/sealant placed by gun.  After the correct interval, finish the surface off smooth, and flush on flat areas or concave in corners, to the compound/sealant manufacturer's requirements.
