An off-white, ready mixed acrylic polymer based, thin-bed, water-resistant ceramic wall tile adhesive. Conforms to EN 12004:2007 Type D, Class 2.

Uses

AQUA-TILE is suitable for fixing all types of ceramic wall tiles, including mosaics and vitrified tiles. Ideal for internal locations such as bathrooms, kitchens and shower areas. AQUA-TILE can be applied to gypsum plaster, cement fibreboard, existing tiles, cement render, concrete block work, timber panels and plywood composite boards. AQUA-TILE has excellent grip properties, reducing or eliminating the need for battens or spacers.

Preparation

The substrate must be clean, structurally sound and free from dust, oil, grease and loose flaking coatings. The surface must also be sufficiently flat not to require an adhesive thickness of more than 3mm. Rough or uneven surfaces should be levelled with a suitable filler or plaster and allowed to dry prior to a 2-3mm application of AQUA-TILE. Porous surfaces should always be primed prior to application. PVA is not recommended. Products such as Bond It PRIMER & FLEXIBLE ADMIXTURE should be used.

 

Plaster: plaster must be dry and have enough time to develop adequate strength to support the weight of the tiles (at least 4 weeks). Tiles must only be fixed to a finish coat. Old or decaying plaster must be replaced and dusty or friable plaster must be coated with a bonding agent prior to application. Gypsum finishing plaster should be at least 4-6 weeks old, thoroughly dry and wiped clean of dust, efflorescence and loose flaking material. Porous masonry surfaces must be primed with Bond It PRIMER & FLEXI ADMIX. The maximum weight of tiles and adhesive on to plaster is 20Kg per m2 .

Cement Render: must be sound and dry and at least 2 weeks old before application.

Sheets and boards: All wood based surfaces should be dry, sealed on all exposed faces and edges and primed using a suitable primer. Timber boarding should be waterproof rated, 15mm thick and be screw fixed at 150mm centres to provide a stable background. All boards must be level, showing no edge protrusions and be fixed in place with a 0.5 to 1mm gap to avoid expansion stresses between the boards and around the wall perimeters.

Painted Surfaces: check the adhesion of the paint to the substrate, if loose the coating should be removed. Sound hard gloss paints are usually satisfactory but the surface should be scored to provide a key and reduce drying times. Emulsion paints, limewash or similar coatings must be removed.

Application

AQUA-TILE should be applied using a notched trowel (5mm x 5mm @ 10-25mm centres) to give a ribbed bed on the wall surface, into which the the tiles are firmly bedded with a twist and slide action to ensure full contact. Remove a tile occasionally to check on the standard of bedding being achieved. When fixing studded tiles use a trowel with larger and/or more closely spaced notches or butter the tiles with adhesive before placing them on the combed bed. The position of the tiles can be adjusted up to 10 minutes after initial fixing. Do not trowel out an area of adhesive greater than can be tiled over within a 15 minute period (about 1m2 ). The final adhesive bed depth should be in the range of 2- 3mm and grout joints should be at least 2mm, unless self-spacing tiles are used. Wipe any residue from tile face with a moist cloth and rake out excess adhesive from within the grout joints.

The spotting or blobbing method should not be employed to fix tiles. For tiles larger than 250 x 300mm, a cement based powder tile adhesive, such as Bond It CTA, should be used instead.

Drying Time

Final set will occur after 24-72 hours. However, drying times will be extended on impervious surfaces. AQUA-TILE should not be applied onto walls affected by penetrating damp, or when room temperature is below 5o C.

Open Time

Open time of the exposed adhesive bed is approx. 15 minutes, dependant on conditions. Do not apply more adhesive than will be used during this period.

Grouting

Grouting may proceed as soon as the tile bed is sufficiently firm, which depending on conditions can be from 24 hours after fixing on porous surfaces, such as plaster, or up to 3 days where tiles have been fixed to an impermeable surface such as existing tiles or waterproof boards.

Coverage

Depends on surface porosity and profile of tile back, however on a typical smooth plastered wall AQUATILE will cover at a rate of 2-3Kg per m2

Great deal for the money, look sharp, and very sturdy
Size: 32in-Shelves, Size: 32in-Shelves
I was looking to create pipe shelves in our living room. After spending some time researching prices for pipe and wood, I determined that I would save money by buying a couple sets of these shelves. When the shelves came in, I was happy to learn that they were indeed good quality and easy to assemble. They come with mounting hardware, but I’d recommend better mounts for the walls than the ones supplied. Overall, I love the look of these shelves. The wood is described as reclaimed, but it’s pretty much cheap, light wood with a stain. They still look good and are sturdy. The pipes has some silver paint brushed on them to give them a distressed look. I thought it was actually a little cheesy looking, but I happened to have iron-colored spray paint, so I just respirated them.

Looks good but the wall anchors is TRASH!
Size: 3-tier shelves, Size: 3-tier shelves
The product is heavy and sturdy once you get it up completely. The issue I have is with the instructions... 1. The 5/16 drill bit is recommends is WAY TO BIG. The Anchors it comes with will slip right through. The screws that is comes with are WAY TO SMALL for the weight. I recommend getting better ones from the hardware store and painting the screws black for better aesthetics. 2. The instructions say to put it together first then hang it on the wall. That is great so you can see where you want to place it and because it is actually bigger than it looks, but you will need to de-assemble it from the bottom shelf down after you mark where you want to place it, then put that part on the wall, then reassemble it from there, securing the top part to the wall last. The instructions sucked but that is what worked best for me. Another thing is when you first assembling it, you will notice that you will have to unscrew it a bit so the pipes can fast the correct way. This will make it feel flimsy, but it will tighten up when you secure it to the wall. Also, like some people said in previous reviews, some of the black paint did peel off the pipes, not to much for me but it was noticeable if you look at it hard enough.

Love the look of these
Size: 24in-Shelve
I love the look of these. Bought for towel storage over my toilet. They look really classy and I'm so happy with them. However, its important to note that the wall anchors they provide are way too big for the screws. The screws just fall into the inside of the anchor without even being screwed in. So there's no way you could secure the wall unit with the ones provided. We had to replace the anchors with some I already had. Other than that very happy with the quality and look.
