Sika Sikaceram 277 White Flexible with Standard setting Time Instructions:

Plasterboard:

• Porous substrates like plasterboard must be primed with SikaBond SBR.
  

Gypsum plaster or Anhydrite:

• Prime with two coats of SikaBond SBR+ before use on bare unsealed gypsum or anhydrite floor.
• The first coat with a 1:1 dilution, and the second coat neat.
  

Concrete Screeds Renders:

• Allow fresh concrete etc to dry for at least 4 weeks before tiling.
• Prime surfaces with SikaBond SBR+ diluted 3 parts water to 1 part SBR+ and allow to dry.
• Surfaces such as tamp rutted concrete and masonry blockwork, that are rough or uneven, should be prepared with a suitable Sikafloor Self Levelling compound and allowed to fully cure for at least 24 to 48 hours before application.
  

Timber Floors floorboards:

• Suitable for interior floors only.
• Ensure adequate ventilation beneath floors.
• Cover with boarding plywood or chipboard which must be at least 12mm thick and be of moisture resistant grade.
• Secure with wood screws, not nails, at 150mm centres.
• Prime with SikaBond SBR+ at 1:3 dilution rate.
• Adhesive must be mixed with SikaBond SBR+ diluted 1:1 with water
  

Softwood tongue and groove boarding:

• Boards must be screwed down to joists at 300mm centres and surfaces sealed with SikaBond SBR+ at 1:3 dilution.
• Adhesive must be mixed with neat SikaBond SBR+ to ensure long term flexibility.
• Note: this will slightly retard the set.
  

Existing Tilled Surfaces:

• Ensure tiles are securely bonded to wall or floor.
• Roughen surface of glazed tiles with sander.
• Apply a bonding coat of neat SikaBond SBR+.
• Apply mixed adhesive whilst bonding coat is still tacky.
  

Mixing:

• Sikaceram 277 Flexible should be added to clean water in a mixing bucket and mixed with a paddle mixer if available.
• The sides of the bucket can be brought into the mix by using a bucket trowel to prevent any dry lumps in the mixed tile adhesive.
  
• Mix approximately 3 parts by volume powder to 1 part by volume water.
  
• Always add powder to water.
  

Application:

1. Using a large notched trowel spread the adhesive evenly onto the substrate the Size of notches depends on size of tiles being used, the surface being tiled, the profile on back of the tiles, and degree of coverage required.
2. Press the tiles firmly into place using a slight twisting action.
3. Leave a grout joint this can be done using tile spacers unless self spacing tiles are used.
4. Surface adhesive should be cleaned from the faces of the tiles with a moist cloth or sponge.
   
5. Rake out excessive adhesive from within joints before setting takes place.
6. The open time of the exposed adhesive bed is approximately 4 to 5 hours depending on surface porosity and site conditions.
7. Grouting may proceed as soon as the tile bed is sufficiently firm, which will be around 24 hours at room temperature.
   
8. Do not use at temperatures below +5 deg C.

1. Allow 24 hours before grouting depending on site conditions or when tiles are sufficiently firm to accept light foot traffic.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for protecting and sealing the tiles before and after grouting.
