Constraints
The quality of application of this material depends on suitable operative skills and product familiarity.
Restrictions on weather conditions during application and curing must be respected.
Sound trade practices and printed instructions must be followed.
Good access and appropriate protection must be provided.
Mixing
Mix weber.rend LAC by adding clean water only to achieve a thick creamy consistency.
Application
Bonding
The adhesive is applied to the back of the insulation boards in 4 vertical strips 100 mm wide, 25 - 30 mm thick.
Adhesive coat
Coat the insulation boards with the adhesive to a thickness of about 2 - 3 mm and lay in the meshcloth. Once the initial coat has started to 'take-up', apply a second layer of adhesive mortar to produce a sandwich approximately 6 mm thick totally encapsulating the meshcloth.
Mineral finish: lightly comb scratch to achieve a good mechanical key.
Synthetic finish: sponge finish to achieve a flat surface
Spillages stain and are difficult to remove so:
- protect vulnerable areas thoroughly
- mix mortar in plastic containers using a paddle mixer to facilitate cleaning
- don't mix too much material at one time
- wear protective clothing.
Good practice
Do not apply:
- If frost is forecast within 24 hours of use
- In damp/wet conditions
- In temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C
- On elevations in direct sunlight or where the substrate is hot
