Unis Glue Plus: Types and Applications

To tile firmly held on the surface, you must use reliable and high-quality tile adhesive, which would be adapted to all the features of the room, for example, a bathroom. Many of those who started repairs, prefer Unis Plus glue. What are its features and what he earned recognition in the market?

This glue is universal and can be used for various work both inside and outside the room. He has a cement base with mineral fillers and other chemicals, thanks to which this mixture has high-quality technical characteristics:

• High adhesion.
• Moisture resistant, which is especially important for lining rooms with high humidity or swimming pools.

• Resistant to temperature changes. Properties of glue do not change, regardless of weather conditions. It withstands temperatures from -50 to +70 degrees.
• The mixture has an environmentally safe composition, so it does not cause allergies.
• The mortar, and with it the tile, will not begin to crawl off the wall, because the glue has plasticity. It is firmly fixed on the surface.

The mixture is easy to prepare and apply, while the consumption of glue is quite economical and is about three to four kilograms per 1 m2 (here it all depends on the size of the tiles). The mixture is usually sold in bags weighing 25 kg, which simplifies the task of calculating the amount of glue for various finishing works. Packing 25 kg will be enough for an area of ​​8 square meters. The glue dries within twenty four hours.

To lay the tile smoothly, it is necessary to start carefully with the foundation and perform its preparation as follows:

• The old finish is removed, whether it is screed or crumbling plaster.

• If the surface is in cracks and other defects, the base is leveled with plaster.
• The surface must be dry.without any dirt and oil stains.
• If the room is with high humidity, then before work it is better to perform a coating waterproofing procedure.
• The primer is necessary in order that the basis for laying became equal. So grip will be more reliable and durable. If the surface is not level, the tile will eventually flake off or crack. It is better to prevent these consequences in advance.

This procedure will require a suitable capacity. All tools must not be dirty.

Algorithm works.

• Glue must be diluted in a ratio of 250 ml of water per 1 kg of dry composition.
• Then for three to five minutes, the resulting mass should be stirred. This is best done with a special mixer or drill, which has a special nozzle. If none of the above is available, you can stir the glue with your hand. The result should be a smooth consistency.

• It is important to remember that the properties of the mixture after cooking are saved only for three hours, so it is important to correctly calculate the amount of glue needed for a certain amount of work. At thickening, the mixture is again stirred, while water does not need to be added.
• If you do not follow the proportions, add additional components to the solution, do not follow the recommendations in the instructions, the resulting mixture may not correspond to the stated characteristics.

After the surface is prepared, and the glue has the appearance of a uniform consistency, you can begin to apply it to the wall or floor.

This process will require a spatula. With the help of it is applied an even layer of the composition with a thickness of 3 to 15 millimeters, do not forget to align it with a special trowel or trowel with teeth. If the squares of the tiles are large, then the teeth should be from 8 millimeters.

It is important to monitor the uniform distribution of the adhesive mass. The voids will turn into unpleasant consequences in the future, therefore it is better to press the tiles a little to the surface.

After the material is laid, it can still be corrected within twenty minutes. Dries glue exactly day. Then you can move freely on the tile (if the finishing work was done on the floor). After completing the work, remove the extra sticky mass that remained on the front of the tile and the grouting joints.If the extra compound remains in the seam, there may be a number of problems when grouting begins.

Possible consequences.

• If you apply a grout on an uncleaned joint, then in the future it will begin to crack, because it will be thin.
• Another reason for removing glue remains is aesthetics. If a sticky mass is visible through the grout, no matter how beautiful the tile is, its appearance will be spoiled.
• Using colored grout on the seam with residual glue will result in the fact that after drying it will differ in color with the rest of the grout. The thing is that in this place it will be thin and not so strong. The result will be sloppy.

To avoid these unpleasant consequences, you need to remove the remnants of the glue while it is in a soft state, otherwise it will be much more difficult to do so later. For the procedure will need a knife. With the help of his blade from the edges of the tile is easy to remove the remnants of the adhesive mass.

If the mixture is already frozen, then you need to use a special knife.which is designed for the trowel. First you need to make a cut in the center of the seam and scraped dry glue from the edge of each tile with a knife.If necessary, you can clean the tiles with an abrasive screed. And at the end of the procedure, the seams are cleaned with a vacuum cleaner so that not a single small piece of glue remains.
