Tilemaster Tanking Kit is a single-coat, fast-drying waterproofing system developed with advanced co-polymer technology. It is designed to create a moisture barrier that is flexible enough to accommodate slight movement or vibration, which can be expected under normal conditions in well-constructed and structurally stable environments. This system effectively seals, stabilizes, and prepares substrates, ensuring they are ready for the installation of ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles. The kit includes a pre-mixed, easy-to-use waterproofing paste, reinforced with fleece tape and pre-formed corner tape, ensuring a watertight finish. Key Features: Moisture Protection: Shields water-sensitive substrates from water exposure. Surface Stabilization: Seals and stabilizes surfaces in preparation for tiling. Single-Coat System: No priming required; a single application suffices. Fast-Drying: Tiles can be applied just 3 hours after the application. User-Friendly: Ready-to-use and easy to apply with included reinforcement materials. Versatile Use: Ideal for wetrooms, showers, steam rooms, bathrooms, and can be applied both internally and externally. Flexible: Accommodates slight movement and vibration in floors, walls, and shower cubicles. Areas of Application: Surface/Substrate Compatibility: Walls and Floors: Suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications. Internal and External Use: Can be applied in both indoor and outdoor environments. Wet Areas: Ideal for areas exposed to water, such as wetrooms, showers, and steam rooms. Underfloor Heating: Compatible with substrates incorporating underfloor heating. Limited Movement/Vibration: Effective in areas subject to slight movement or vibration. Instructions for Use: 1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material. Remove any previous coatings or residues to achieve a stable, sound surface. Ensure the substrate is stable and capable of withstanding expected loads without excessive movement. 2. Application: Tanking Paste: Apply the Tilemaster Tanking Paste directly onto the substrate using a brush or roller. Ensure a consistent layer of approximately 0.5mm thickness is applied. Coverage: 2.5kg of Tanking Paste covers approximately 7m². Reinforcement: Use the included fleece tape and pre-formed corner tape to reinforce the areas around corners, joints, and edges. Press the tape into the freshly applied paste, ensuring it is fully embedded and there are no air pockets. Drying Time: Allow the paste to dry for approximately 3 hours before proceeding with the tiling. 3. Tiling: Once the Tanking Paste has dried, tiles can be installed directly onto the treated surface using an appropriate tile adhesive. Follow standard tiling practices to ensure a secure and lasting installation. Special Notes: Tilemaster Tanking Paste is not suitable for controlling rising damp or as a damp-proof membrane. This product is specifically designed to protect substrates from direct water exposure in tiled environments. Pack Sizes & Colour: Available in a 3.5kg pack size. The Tanking Paste is blue for easy application visibility. Advantages: Provides a reliable moisture barrier for water-sensitive substrates. Simplifies the waterproofing process with a single-coat application. Fast drying time allows for quick project progression. Easy to apply, making it ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals. Suitable for a variety of wet areas, both indoors and outdoors, including steam rooms and bathrooms. Tilemaster Tanking Kit ensures a watertight, stable, and prepared surface for tile installations, offering peace of mind in wet environments.
