Full contact and flexibility for large-format porcelain

60 × 120 cm porcelain tiles require a flatter substrate and more controlled bonding than standard small-format ceramic tiles. S1-class KraftBau adhesives are used together with back-buttering and levelling equipment to reduce the risk of voids beneath the cladding.

System advantages

  • Grey and white S1 adhesive options
  • High contact ratio through back-buttering
  • Controlled surface flatness with clips and wedges
  • Three grout alternatives for dry, wet and technical areas

Application

How does the system work?

Steps are listed in application order. For consumption, layer thickness and waiting times, refer to the products' current technical data sheets (TDS).

  1. Step 1: Create a flat and sound surface

    The substrate must be load-bearing, clean and as flat as the large-format cladding requires. Any necessary levelling work must be completed in advance.

  2. Step 2: Select the S1 adhesive

    Use KR-8000 or KR-805 for the grey system; KR-8500 or KR-809 for light-coloured tiles.

  3. Step 3: Apply with back-buttering

    Spread the adhesive on the substrate with a suitable notched trowel; also apply a thin contact layer to the back of the tile to support full contact.

  4. Step 4: Use the levelling equipment

    Control the level difference between tile surfaces during installation with KR-ST clips and wedges.

  5. Step 5: Finish with the right grout

    Use KR-200 in dry areas, KR-250 in wet areas and KR-300 under technical or high chemical loads.
