Instructions for use

• Ensure the surface is clean, firm, free of dust, dirt, oil, grease and other barrier materials, as well as being strong enough to support the weight of the tiles being fixed and completely dry (check the drying times of different substrates)
  (Note. if using Ardex X7 White in wet rooms, bathrooms, showers or swimming pools, use Ardex WPC waterproof tanking system to first waterproof the substrate)
• Mix the product with clean cold water; 2.5 parts powder to 1 part water - until smooth, lump-free consistency achieved
  (Note. Max 6.5 litres of water per 22kg bag - DO NOT EXCEED the recommended maximum amount of water per bag)
• Using a notched trowel, apply the adhesive to the wall or floor surface
  (The size of notched trowel chosen, depends on the tile size, the surface being tiled, the profile on the back of the tile and the degree of coverage required - check out our wide range of trowels)
• Comb to required bed thickness ensuring ribs all run in one direction
  (Note. if fixing tiles to walls or in wet environments, apply additional adhesive to the tile reverse)
• Fix the tiles before the adhesive forms a skin (typically 30 minutes at 20°C)
  (Note. if skin forms, remove adhesive and apply fresh layer)
• Press tile firmly into the ribs of the adhesive and into position, with slight twisting/sliding action to ensure optimum adhesive contact (can be adjusted for 10 minutes after initial positioning)
• Ensure you have left adequate joint spaces between tiles for grouting
• Clean off surplus adhesive from tile face and between tile joints

Recommendations

Ardex X7 White is not suitable for fixing fully vitrified and porcelain tiles; in this case use Ardex X7 Plus or Ardex X7 Rapid; both of which, unlike Ardex X7 White, are suitable for use over heated screed/timber (underfloor heating). Ardex X7 White is also a slow setting adhesive, for an increased setting time use Ardex X7 Rapid.
