VERTIGRIP

     

Internal or external wall tiling/cladding work is exposed to extreme temperature variations which induces expansion and contraction of tiles/stones. In addition, external tiling or cladding is also affected by rains, wind and gravitational force. Air pockets and lack of curing reduces stability of tiling work. This is reflected in cracking, dislodging and falling of tiles.

Perlcon Vertigrip is an extra strength, sand free, self curing, special tiling mortar for vertical surfaces. Its even spreading ensures tiling work completely devoid of air pockets and cavities. Its special formulation decreases the maintenance costs.

Being lighter and self curing, Vertigrip is a boon for quick construction. No pre wetting  of substrate and tiles is required for application of Vertigrip. This saves water and prevents tile breakage. Vertigrip also allows a correction time of 10-12 minutes for re adjustment of tiles, increasing the accuracy and aesthetics of tiling work.

How to Apply


 
Clean the base plaster surface properly with wire brush. Fill a clean pot with potable water measuring 25% weight of Vertigrip (1 kg Vertigrip : 0.25 lit water).
Pour Vertigrip and mix with water. Mix and knead slowly to make a homogeneous paste. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. Mix again without adding more water.
Apply Vertigrip paste as plaster on clean, dry base surface from bottom to top direction evenly to form the bedding layer of required thickness.
 
 
Take a notched trowel and make grooves of required size on the newly plastered area and take out extra Vertigrip for reuse.
Fix the tiles in required position, ensure full fixity by pressing and twisting the tiles so that there is no air gap. Set the tiles with wooden hammer. Vertigrip allows a correction time of 10-12 minutes for re adjusting and re alignment.
Remove extra material with wet cloth. Tile fixing is now complete with Vertigrip.
