For which construction works is Ceresit CM11 glue used?

Now for the decoration of walls, floors and facades widelyCeramic tiles are used. But no matter how good and beautiful it may be, an important role in creating a strong and durable surface is played by the glue to which it fits.

One of the most effective and popular tileCompositions for the laying of various types of tiles and porcelain stoneware is Ceresit CM11 glue, which is a dry mix. Its operation is permitted in conditions with periodic or permanent exposure to water, and also in the temperature range from -50 ° C to +70 ° C.

Characteristics

The popularity of this brand of glue from the German manufacturer Henkel is not accidental. After all, Ceresit CM11 distinguish high performance properties.

These include:

• good water and frost resistance;
• safety for human health, since it contains no toxic substances;
• possibility to prevent sliding of tiles (no more than 0.1 mm);
• incombustibility;
• durability;
• Simplicity of stacking.

Application area

Purpose Ceresit CM11 - fasteningceramic or stone tile, the water absorption of which is not less than 3%, and the size does not exceed 40x40 cm, on various non-deformable substrates, namely: concrete, brick, cement plasters and screeds, both outside and inside buildings, including some types of premises with constant high humidity.

It is also used for laying ceramic granite(only for internal works), which has a water absorption of at least 3%. This applies to unheated floors located in rooms with small mechanical loads of both residential and public buildings.

Additional Features

The introduction of the SS 83 elasticizer into the adhesive mixturesignificantly expands the scope of Ceresit CM11 glue. In this case, it is used for laying tiles of any water absorption level and different types - ceramic, clinker, stone, and porcelain stoneware.

In addition, the bases and types of structures that are used for laying can be:

• Plates of fiberboard, OSB and gypsum board, related to deformable bases;
• cellular, light and "young" concrete;
• anhydrite and gypsum surfaces;
• Painting acrylic coatings that have strong adhesion to the surface;
• screeds with heating;
• facades, socles and entrance groups of buildings;
• steps of external staircases, floors on open terraces and balconies;
• exploited roofs;
• covered tanks;
• indoor and outdoor pools.

How to use glue?

The composition of the mixture, of which the adhesive consists of tileCeresit CM11, includes cement, mineral fillers and polymer additives. This causes that the prepared composition after breeding can be used for two hours, and you can adjust the tiles no longer than 25 minutes after laying. Grout joints are produced after 1 day (not earlier) after the installation process is completed.

You should also be aware that during the installation of Ceresit CM11 ceramic tiles, air and substrate temperatures are allowed from + 5 ° C to + 30 ° C, and the ambient humidity should not be more than 80%.

Consumption of glue

Before the masonry works begin,it is advisable to know how all materials will be spent. And if the number of tiles can be calculated quite accurately, based on its size and surface area, on which it will be laid, then the glue is a bit more complicated.

So, for the tile laying Ceresit CM11 is chosen. Its consumption can be different, which is due to factors such as the size of the tile itself, the height of the comb teeth, the quality of the base on which the tile is fastened, and the professionalism of the laying master.

There are precise tables, where the glue consumption (kg / sq. M.) Is given, proceeding from all these parameters, both with the addition of an elastifier CC 8, and without.

The average consumption of the mixture is 2.95 kg / sq. M. m. And more specifically, for a standard 25x25 cm tile with a comb tooth height of 8 mm, ceramic tile Ceresit CM11 is consumed in an amount of 3.5 kg / sq. M. m.

In the sale of glue comes packaged in bagson 5 and 25 kg. Such packaging is very convenient, since it allows consumers both to transport and unload it without attracting special equipment and loaders.

Starting the repair work, make an estimate andThink carefully about what construction materials you will need and in what quantities. This approach to the case will save not only time, but also a decent amount of money. If you are not able to calculate repair costs yourself, you can always use the help of specialists.
