Surface preparation:
All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dust, grease, wax, oil, curing compounds and all other contaminants that could potentially prevent adhesive bonding.
The initial layer must be prepared using Deco Bond before paving.
The concrete should be allowed to cure for at least 28 days and the cement should dry 7 days before tiling. It is preferable to sand or smooth the surface
Smooth steel polished concrete should be mechanically abraded to increase adhesion.
Mixture:
Each bag of Deco Tile Adhesive Powder requires approximately 5.5 liters of water. Add the calculated amount of clean water in a clean bowl and slowly sprinkle DecoFix powder into the liquid while stirring constantly.
Get rid of the blocks.
Continue mixing until you get a consistency similar to toothpaste.
Leave the mixture for 2 minutes, then mix and stir again.

Place the tiles firmly on the adhesive to ensure complete adhesion with a twisting motion.
The minimum thickness is 1 mm for walls and 3 mm for floors.
