LAYING TILES
Ceramic tiles can be directly laid onto AquaeSEAL RP by using the thin-bed method.
GROUTING
Ceramic coverings are ready for grouting 24 hours later, allowing for a drying period. The grouting of earthenware tiles is done with water-repellent, flexible grout, while for non-absorbent tiles a flexible universal grout is recommended.
* NB – We do not recommend the use of Plaster or Plasterboard products within higher risk waterprone areas.
