Adhesive for fixing natural stone on floor and vitrified tile on wall & floor

High bond strength | Easy to use | Self curing

Support

Wall, Floor

weberset nova is a high polymer modified thin-set tile and stone adhesive, which is especially formulated for fixing low porosity vitrified tiles on walls and floor, and natural stones on the floor. The adhesive can be used in internal as well as external conditions, in dry as well as wet areas.

• High Bond strength.
• Free-flowing product makes it easier to mix and apply-Easy to use.
• Useful for bed thickness of 3-12 mm. May go up to 15 mm in a limited extent.
• Thixotropic formula – no sag, for easy application on wall.
• Low VOC – For a healthy living.
• For installation of vitrified tiles on wall and floor and Natural stones on the floor.
• Suitable for internal and exterior use.
• Can be used for new construction, as well as for renovation over existing floors/facades.
• Self-curing properties, which allows for no-hassle application, with minimum labour.
• No Hacking of substrate required to achieve the required bonding.

• Do not use on wet screed. Surface must be fully cured.
• Do not use on gypsum plaster or boards, fibre cement boards, or other drywall partitions.
• Do not use for Installing Glass mosaic, glass tiles, or metal tiles. Use only weberset glass mosaic for fixing glass mosaics, and only Weber bond poxy, for fixing glass and metal tiles.
• Do not use for wooden flooring, or for insulating and soundproofing panels.
• Do not use on waterproofing coat, except if done with Webertec SBR or Webertec crete.
• Do not use for fixing artificial stone or impregnated stone. Use Weberset ultra for the same.

Tutorials & Steps

  • Clean the substrate of oil stains and bond inhibiting compounds, dirt, dust and laitance, if any, using high pressure water jet or any other suitable method.
  • Ensure that the substrate is flat, stable, well adhered and has a normal
    absorption.
  • Concrete screeds, renders and block work should be cured sufficiently to avoid with shrinkage cracks.
  • Correct the local undulation/damage on the substrate at least 48 hours
    before the application of Weberset nova.
  • Saturate the surface well and remove excess water before application of Weberset nova.
  • Gradually add Weberset nova (3 parts for white and 2.5 parts for grey) to 1 part of clean water (by volume) and mix it to a lump free, smooth, workable paste using a suitable stirrer / low speed drill mix / or any other appropriate tool.
  • After mixing, allow the mixture to stand for 2 minutes for it to mature.
  • Apply the adhesive onto the substrate covering up to 1 m2 at a time (or no more than can be tiled within 30 minutes). Unfavorable weather conditions (strong sun, dry wind, high temperatures, etc.) or a highly absorbent substrate can reduce the open time, even to just a few minutes. It is therefore necessary that careful checks be made to ensure that a skin does not form on the surface of the spread adhesive. Incase skin formation is observed, re-freshen the adhesive by re-spreading the adhesive with a notched trowel
  • Itis not recommended to wet the adhesive with water once a skin has
    formed, because instead of dissolving the skin, the water will form an
    anti-adhesive film.
  • Apply Weberset nova over the surface using the straight edge of the
    notched trowel and then comb the applied adhesive using the notched side of the trowel to achieve the desired thickness.
  • Double buttering is recommended for heavier stones.
  • If the adhesive is buttered to the tile, then ensure proper coverage of the tile surface to evade voids.
  • Ensure adequate gap is kept between subsequent stones/tiles to
    accommodate for thermal expansion and contraction.
  • Clean the stone/tile with water before installation
  • Bed the tiles firmly into the adhesive with a slight sliding and/or twisting
    action/shear, to ensure a good and uniform contact.
  • Itis good practice to lift an occasional tile after fixing, to verify that the
    required contact is being achieved.
  • In wet areas, external areas and all floors, the final adhesive bed should be free from voids.
  • If necessary, tiles should be adjusted, within 30 minutes of installation.
  • Carefully clean off any excess adhesive from the tiles and joints with a
    damp sponge or cloth before it sets. Leave for at least 24 hours before
    grouting.
  • More time may be required before grouting when tiling onto impervious or sealed surfaces or higher bed thickness.
