How to calculate the flow?
The easiest way to calculate the flow rate when using mixtures and solutions Plitonit, using a special calculator on the official website of the company. To do this, enter the layer thickness and specify the area of the surface to be treated.
Approximate calculations:
- Plitonit V adhesive: with a tile length of up to 108 mm, 1.7 kg of dry mix per 1 m2 will be required; with a length of 300 mm - 5.1 kg per 1 m2;
- plaster "RemSostav": 19-20 kg / m2 with a layer thickness of 10 mm;
- Universal rover: 1.5-1.6 kg / m2 with a layer thickness of 1 mm;
- primer "Soil 2 Elastic": 15-40 ml per 1 m2 of undiluted primer;
- Plitonit K putty: 1.1-1.2 kg / m2 with a layer thickness of 1 mm.
In any case, the consumption rate will be preliminary, and the true result depends on many factors, for example:
- selection and slope of the comb;
- surface roughness;
- tile porosity;
- the type and size of tiles;
- master's experience;
- air temperature during operation.
There are several formulas for calculating the flow. For example, in order to calculate how much grouting will be required,You can use the following formula: ((tile length + tile width) / tile length x tile width) tile thickness x joint width x k = kg / m2, where k is the grout volume weight. As noted above, all this is only an approximate calculation. Whatever the result, it is safer to take the material with a margin.
How to choose?
Smoothing machine
The choice of rover depends on the casting area and the technical characteristics of the product. In the case of work in the open air or when installing a heated floor, it is better to pay attention to elastic cement rovniteli, as they withstand temperature changes and have a solid structure after drying. The same rover is suitable for use inside buildings, but, on the contrary, the mixture for interior decoration is not allowed to be used outdoors.
Tile adhesive in the bathroom
It is recommended to use Plitonit glue for tile. It has high plasticity and is suitable for any surface, copes well with work in a damp room. Plitonit B + and Gidrokley glues are also not lagging behind in reliability.
When choosing construction chemicals, consider the following parameters:

Tips and tricks
When working with construction chemicals, observe the following recommendations:
- follow the instructions clearly;
- observe safety measures;
- use gloves when working with chemicals;
- wash containers and containers from under the solutions immediately after completion of the work;
- If soil gets into eyes, immediately rinse the damaged organ and consult a doctor.
Useful tips
- Chemistry often dries in unwanted places. If the soil has dried on the instrument or wood flooring, you can apply another layer of the same soil to this area and immediately wipe it with a dry cloth, then wipe it with a damp cloth.
- Before using the primer, you can pour a small amount of tinting paste into it, this will add the shade that is chosen for the final finish of the putty wall.
- According to some experts, before plastering a wall of concrete, regardless of its type,it is better to pre-apply a layer of deep penetration primer on it.
