48 Wall Tiling System Selector These overviews show some of the systems that can be used for various circumstances. These should only be used in conjunction with the guidance given in the current ARDEX data sheets for the individual products shown. Detailed design data sheets are available for some of the key systems and site specific guidance can be provided by contacting your local ARDEX Area Manager or the ARDEX Technical Services Department. Other combinations of adhesives and grouts may be suitable, please consult the individual product data sheets for further information. INTERNAL WALLS SUBSTRATE TO BE TILED CONCRETE OR CEMENT/SAND RENDER DRY AREAS FLOOR AND WALL TILING, SOLID BED FIXING IS REQUIRED (NO VOIDS BEHIND TILES) IN EXTERNAL LOCATIONS. FLOOR TILING IN EXTERNAL LOCATIONS SHOULD PREFERABLY BE LAID TO FREE DRAINING FALLS. N.B. All ARDEX products should be mixed and applied in accordance with the relevant product data sheet. The use of ARDEX AM 100 Rapid Hardening One Coat Tiling Render allows tiles to be fixed only 2 hours after application. A bonded ARDEX EB 2 screed will allow tiles to be fixed only 3 hours after application.

All ARDEX products should be mixed and applied in accordance with the relevant product data sheet.
Internal Walls CONCRETE Allow at least 6 weeks drying time prior to fixing new tiles onto new concrete. Ensure mould oil and curing agents are removed. CEMENT/SAND RENDER Wood float finish and prevent rapid drying of the surface for 1 to 2 days. Allow to air dry for at least two weeks prior to tiling.* GYPSUM PLASTER 1 3 Do not use in wet or damp conditions, must be dry and at least 4 weeks old. Brush down surface prior to tiling. Where required use ARDEX P 51 primer. PLASTERBOARD 2 3 Ensure boards are rigidly braced and adequately supported; fix directly to the paper facing. Do not skim with plaster. AERATED CONCRETE 3 Allow at least 6 weeks drying time for new walls before tiling or rendering. Render should not exceed 13mm in thickness. EXISTING CERAMIC TILING 3 Ensure existing tiling is well adhered and can support the new tile bed. Thorough cleaning and rinsing off essential. In dry locations where required use ARDEX P 82 / ARDEX P 4 primer. WOOD-BASED BOARDS 3 Avoid if possible, refer to BS 5385:Part 1. If installed, the boards must be dry and conditioned to the correct moisture content and their backs and edges suitably sealed prior to being rigidly fixed. Where required use ARDEX P 82 primer. COMPOSITE BOARDS 3 Check with manufacturer for guidance on dimensional stability. Priming or surface preparation may be required. BRICKWORK Allow new walls to dry for at least 6 weeks prior to direct fixing or rendering. CONCRETE BLOCKWORK New walls should be built with dry blocks. Allow 6 weeks drying time before direct fixing or rendering. WET LOCATIONS 4 Backgrounds should be water-resistant and suitable for direct fixing. Tiles should be solid bed fixed. Wall Tiling - Background/Substrate Preparation External Walls CEMENT/SAND RENDER AND SCREED Wood float finish and prevent rapid drying out. Allow to air dry for at least 2 weeks (renders) or at least 3 weeks (screeds) prior to tiling.* CONCRETE Allow at least 6 weeks drying time prior to fixing tiles onto new concrete. Ensure all formwork release agents are removed. EXISTING CERAMIC TILING Ensure existing tiling is well adhered and can support the new tile bed. Thorough cleaning and rinsing off essential. BRICKWORK Allow new walls to dry for at least 6 weeks prior to direct fixing or rendering. Background/Substrate Preparation All backgrounds must be rigid, clean, stable and free from any barriers to adhesion such as dust, plaster droppings, grease, polish and any water softenable or loosely adhered materials. Good adhesion to a stable background is very important to guarantee the successful application of tiling. Surfaces to be tiled must be flat and when checked with a 2m straight edge, any gap under the straight edge between points of contact with the surface should not exceed 3mm (Surface Regularity 1). Any small scale irregularities should be pre-smoothed before tiling. * With ARDEX AM 100 Rapid Hardening One Coat Tiling Render tiles can be fixed only 2 hours after application. For tiling in dry locations the adhesive coverage should be at least 50%. For tiling in wet locations solid bed fixing is required (No voids behind tiles). Primers ARDEX P 4 - Solvent free primer for internal/external application to walls, floors and ceilings. Used prior to the application of ARDEX ceramic tile adhesives and levelling compounds. Produces textured surface and dries in one hour. Applied to concrete, cement/sand screeds, ceramic tiles, terrazzo. ARDEX P 51 - For use on plaster before fixing with ARDEX or ARDEX-FLEX cement-based adhesives. ARDEX P 82 - Non-flammable, water dispersed epoxy primer for bonding to wood-based surfaces and existing ceramic tiling prior to the use of cement-based adhesives. 1 2 3 Maximum weight of tiling per square metre is 20kg. Maximum weight of tiling per square metre is 32kg. Bed thickness maximum 3mm. 4 ARDEX WPC Flexible Rapid Drying and Setting Waterproof Coating Can be used to protect moisture sensitive backgrounds in domestic/commercial wet locations, prior to fixing tiles using 49 ARDEX D30 or the appropriate ARDEX cement-based adhesive.
