When laying tiles,
natural stones and other ceramic cladding, so far many problems have been
faced, which specialists had to deal with in this area. The occurrence of damages and
expensive complaints caused by blooms / raids, damage caused by frost, etc. led
to the fact that many tile workers no longer wanted to face the works carried
out on the balconies and terraces and did not accept such orders at all.

BOTAMENT® TERRACHAMP
One adhesive mortar, one
grouting mortar, no problems!
A completely new binding
agent!
The modern binding agent
based on the HYDRO O2 FLEX technology sets new standards in the safe laying of
tiles and natural stone on balconies and terraces. As the incomparable advantages of the
TERRACHAMP system, it should be emphasized that:
• does not contain lime
or cement
• does not contain
pigments
• is open to the
diffusion of water vapor and capable of draining water
• is characterized by
the highest flexibility and adhesion
• its processing can be
carried out in difficult weather conditions
What is particularly
important: solutions that have worked well and recognized the principles of
making balconies and terraces remain unchanged. Only products for which the highest
demands are made - tile adhesive mortar and joint mortar - are replaced by two
products based on the HYDRO O2 FLEX technology: tile adhesive BTK 200
TERRACHAMP and joint mortar BTF 200 TERRACHAMP.
Highest flexibility and
traction
The adhesive mortar BTK
200 TERRACHAMP will redefine the concepts of flexibility and adhesion. No other application puts such high
demands on the above properties as making balconies and terraces. In this respect, the BTK 200 TERRACHAMP
exceeds all standards many times over.
For example, an adhesive
with high deformability class S2 obtains a deflection of 5 mm in
accordance with the PN-EN 12002 standard . The BTK 200 TERRACHAMP obtains a 7
times higher deflection, in the order of 35
mm . This parameter has been confirmed by
studies carried out by the association of Säurefliesner-Vereinigung.
It does not contain
pigments
In order to obtain the
target color of the TERRACHAMP BTF 200 grout, no pigments are used. This results in significant machining
benefits. The past includes:
smearing of the mortar as well as leaching pigments and discoloration of the
weld.
Open to the diffusion of
water vapor and capable of draining water
The TERRACHAMP BTK 200
tile adhesive and the TERRACHAMP BTF 200 jointing mortar are open to water
vapor diffusion. This prevents
damage caused by steam pressure under the cladding. In addition, the water accumulating
under the tiles can - due to the additional parameter of the adhesion mortar
BTK 200 TERRACHAMP, which is water permeability - be safely drained to the
drainage layer. As a result, the
risk of damage caused by frost has been reduced to a minimum.
Processing in all
weather conditions
Every tile maker knows
this problem, when high temperature, wind and strong insolation make it
impossible to carry out work on the balcony or terrace. Thanks to TERRACHAMP, this problem is
a thing of the past. Even in such
bad weather conditions as above, the TERKCHAMP BTK 200 tile adhesive and the
TERRACHAMP BTF 200 jointing mortar have optimum machining parameters.
It does not contain lime
or cement
The adhesive mortar BTK
200 TERRACHAMP and the joint mortar BTF 200 TERRACHAMP do not even contain
traces of lime and cement. This
allows you to completely eliminate the risk of lime efflorescence, which was
also confirmed by the Säurefliesner-Vereinigung tile association.
