OPTIFLEX FULL-CONTACT MORTAR
INSTALLING LARGE-SIZED FLOOR TILES?
THINK OPTIFLEX!
When installing large-sized tiles horizontally, a full contact mortar is the perfect solution because of these three distinct advantages:
- When installing large-sized tiles, it is recommended to spread mortar evenly over the substrate, but also to back-butter the tiles so as to obtain maximum contact. A full-contact mortar, by its composition, does not require the use of this technique. However, sufficient pressure must be applied on the tile during installation. It is recommended to use a square-notch trowel of at least 3/8’’ x 3/8’’.
- The more consistent composition of this type of mortar has two functions:
- Ensures the stability of large-sized tiles, making them easier to install. It also helps with floor levelling.
- As opposed to a thin-set mortar, full-contact mortar will not slump under the weight of the tile, ensuring optimal bonding.
- Optiflex provides very high bonding strength, and an installation that defies time.
