Quality and Standards

BAL Green Star conforms to EN 12004 D1T

Instructions for use

• Ensure surfaces are flat, clean, dry, sound and free from contamination (in wet rooms, bathrooms, showers or swimming pools, use Ardex WPC waterproof tanking system to first waterproof the substrate)
  (Note. if fixing onto plaster or plasterboard, check that tile weight (INCLUDING adhesive) will NOT exceed 20kg/m² for plaster or 32kg/m² for plasterboard)
• Using a trowel, apply the adhesive to the wall surface (max. 1m² at a time)
  (The size of notched trowel chosen, depends on the tile size, the surface being tiled, the profile on the back of the tile and the degree of coverage required - check out our wide range of trowels)
• Comb to required bed thickness ensuring ribs all run in one direction
• Fix tiles before adhesive forms skin (typically 20 minutes at 20°C). If skin has formed, remove adhesive and apply fresh layer
• Press tile firmly into the ribs of the adhesive and into position, with slight twisting/sliding action to ensure optimum adhesive contact
• Ensure you have left adequate joint spaces between tiles for grouting (unless self-spacing tiles used)
• Clean off surplus adhesive from tile face and between tile joints

Recommendations

BAL Green Star is not recommended for use in areas prone to continued wet or damp conditions and areas subject to high levels of vibration, shrinkage or deflection from the substrate; in these cases use BAL White Star.
