How to Apply Pegoland® Classic C1
Using this adhesive is simple if you follow the recommended steps:
- Mixing – Add the powder to clean water and mix until you get a smooth paste. Rest for 5 minutes, then remix before applying.
- Application – Spread over areas of up to 2 m² at a time using a notched trowel (choose the right notch size depending on tile size).
- Placing Tiles – Press tiles firmly into the adhesive. For large or outdoor tiles, use the double-glue method (apply adhesive on both the tile and substrate).
- Joint Spacing – Leave at least 2 mm indoors and 5 mm outdoors between tiles for grouting.
- Grouting – After 24 hours (walls) or 48 hours (floors), use a high-quality grout such as MORCEMCOLOR.
Best Practices for UAE Climate
In the UAE’s hot and humid conditions, correct handling is essential:
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight, strong winds, or during rain.
- If the surface is very hot or dry, dampen it slightly before applying adhesive.
- Always work within the recommended temperature range of 5 °C to 40 °C.
By following these steps, you ensure long-lasting results that can withstand local weather challenges.
When to Use Pegoland® Classic C1
