Why is SikaBond®-T8 so popular?



Floors on balloons, terraces and loggias are usually exposed to the extreme impact of weather conditions, which have a decisive impact on changing their appearance and functions. In addition to resistance to temperature differences or mechanical loads, they must be resistant to water. The damage visible on the surface is usually accompanied by damage to the deeper layers, even the interruption of the water-proof insulation.

The solution to these problems is SikaBond®-T8, an unrivaled bonding and sealing material!

SikaBond®-T8 is a single-component, ready-to-use flexible adhesive for watertight ceramic tile floors. It's sealing and sticking with one material. With SikaBond®-T8, you get the most flexible adhesive that guarantees tile stability and a watertight coating that protects the substrate against leaks.

Excellent for sealing sensitive areas, ie corners, flashings, balustrades, etc. without the use of corner tapes.

Permanently resistant to water, frost and high temperature (underfloor heating).

Thanks to its flexibility, SikaBond®-T8 is ideally suited for bonding tiles on deformable substrates, eg osb panels, plasterboards, steel substrates and old tiles.

The SikaBond® -T8 application step by step

1. A dry and even substrate is required before applying SikaBond® -T8

2. Clean the substrate from loose compounds and dust off the surface

3. Smooth sheet metal works should be degreased and primed with Sika®-Primer 3

4. Mark the top edge of the plinth

5. To apply the angle between the vertical and the level, apply Sikaflex®-11FC

6. Isolate with SikaBond®-T8 material, vertical and level passage

7. Apply a smooth trowel to the substrate

8. Insulation layer: consumption 1kg / m2. The insulation layer must have a uniform structure

9. After the material has hardened (at least 20 h), apply the adhesive layer with a comb

10. Material consumption: 1.5 kg / m2

11. Grouts are made of Sikaflex®-11FC flexible polyurethane material
