HOW TO TILE A WET AREA?

4 STEPS FOR A PERFECT TILING OF WET AREAS

Wet rooms are essential human spaces across the globe, either a stylish big bathroom, or a practical small shower space, toilets, kitchens, laundry areas, balconies, patios or terraces: Sika offers systems for new and refurbishment works according to the specific requirements in wet rooms. You only need to follow below steps:

1. On a clean and sound surface, a substrate is waterproofed using a 2-component, semi-flexible cementitious mortar: SikaTop® Seal -107. Unveiled in 1981, it is a worldwide market leader in wet room waterproofing. To apply it, just mix pre-dosed components A and B for 3 minutes and apply with the help of a brush or trowel in two coats.

2. Once your wet room is waterproofed, it is time to set the tiles. Sika proposes a high-quality cementitious polymer-rich tile adhesive complying with European Standards: SikaCeram ® -188. You only need to add 6.5 l of water per bag of product, mix for 3 minutes and apply on walls and floors.

3. To improve the durability and aesthetics of your tiled floor and walls, Sika recommends the use of long-lasting, waterproof, two-component, epoxy Tilegrout: Sika® Tile Grout. This is designed to provide high chemical and abrasion resistance in the selected colour shade. The application is as easy as mixing components A and B for 3 minutes. The product can be applied by trowel or by gun. Easy yet professional performance.

4. Finally, in the event of pipe penetrations, gaps around sanitary ware or any specified details, the system is completed with high performance, bacteria-resistant, movement & connection joint sealant: Sikaflex® -11FC.

Ready to use.
