Preparation And Application Of Adhesive Mortar

Teknosistem adhesive mortar should be prepared according to instructions written on the back of the package. Application method for the adhesive mortar varies according to unevenness or flatness of the exterior thermal insulation surface.

If the surface is flat, the adhesive mortar is applied on the whole thermal insulation board with a trowel or suitably notched trowel, using the method for adhering on the whole surface (Figure 1).

If there are level differences or unevenness on the surface, the adhesive mortar is applied as a strip along all edges of the back, and as points in the middle parts, of the thermal insulation board with a trowel, using the method for strip and point application (Figure 2). In this method, 40% of the thermal insulation board surface should be covered with adhesive.

Attention should be paid not to overflow the adhesive mortar from the edges while applying it on the back of the board (Figure 3).
