For tilers
Information for tile-layers about how to get the best results from the Atlantis tiled shower system.
Preparation of the Base before Tiling.
You can tile directly onto the gel-coated EasyTile shower base using Mapei Keralastic which must be mixed correctly. Or when the base interlayer membrane is applied onto the base (recommended option), you can use a much wider choice of recommended tile adhesives:
Before tiling please ensure that the Base Interlayer Membrane is firmly adhered to the shower base. If it has come loose or has unpeeled in any way, you may need to contact the shower installer to remedy before proceeding.
Grouting
For most tile adhesives grouting should not be started for 48 hours after tile laying [See tile adhesive manufacturer's recommendations or BRANZ Good Tiling Practice Guide.]
Where Mapei Kerabond + Isolastic is used, grout can be applied after 24 hours.
