Consumption
This depends on the level, profile and surface roughness of the substrate, the size of the tiles and the technique of placing (simple placing or "back"-buttering).
As a guide, in kg of powder per m² in flat surfaces:
Mosaics and small tiles | 2.0–4.5 kg/m² |
Normal size tiles (20 cm x 20 cm) | 4.5–9.0 kg/m² |
Large size tiles and on external floors (60 cm x 60 cm & above) | 9.0–13.5 kg/m² |
The information above may only serve as a guideline. It is highly recommended to run a trial on site to determine the actual coverage and consumption per m2.
