Instruction
The processing information provided as follows applies to all panel thicknesses of the fleece-backed construction panel ELEMENT-VK
1 - General
The sealing construction panel ELEMENT-VK is a completely tested system with coordinated system components.
2 - Wall application
Depending on the evenness of the substrate, apply the fixing adhesive COL-AK pointwise on one side using dots of adhesive (8–10 pcs. per m²).
3 - Wall application
For uneven substrates, the full-surface application of the fixing adhesive COL-AK with a toothed trowel is possible.
4 - Wall application
We recommend horizontal laying for ELEMENT-VK. Draw alignment markings before application, if possible. Press on ELEMENT-VK with level and spirit level.
Floor application (on mineral substrate)
Apply COL-AK fixing adhesive with a toothed trowel (depending on the substrate, at least 6 mm) to evenly cover the surface. Dot laying is possible from EL-VK 30 (dot spacing approx. 20 cm).
6 - Floor application (on wooden floors)
First lay ELEMENT-Baby 4 in bond on the floor and fix with suitable screws using FIX-S 35 fastening washers. Glue ELEMENT-VK on this substrate over the full surface with fixing adhesive COL-AK.
7 - Floor application (on wooden floors)
Dot laying is possible from EL-VK 30. The spacing of the mortar dots should be approx. 20 cm. Preparation of the substrate as described in 6
8 - Floor application (on pre-treated wooden floors)
Full-surface laying on uneven wooden floors is also possible on primed, filled floors using EL-VK as an alternative.
9 - Transitions (floor application)
Sealing of the joints takes place using sealing tape DRY-DBV and DRY-ASK. DRY-ASK is applied using a brush or spatula. Gluing of the sealing tape takes place using DRY-ASK. In the second step the joint is levelled out using DRY-ASK.
10 - Transitions
The sealing of the joints on the wall and the joints between the wall and the floor takes place using sealing tape DRY-DBV and DRY-ASK. The same method as described in 9.
11 - Transitions
Prefabricated DRY-DBVIE (inner corners) must to be used for inner corners. These are correspondingly bonded with DRY-ASK (using the method described in Item 9).
12 - Transitions
Prefabricated DRY-DBVAE (outer corners) must to be used for inner corners. These are correspondingly bonded with DRY-ASK (using the method described in Item 9).
13 - Wall penetrations
The connection to wall penetrations takes place via the expansion zone sleeve DRY-DBDZM which is glued in with DRY-ASK as described in Item 9.
14 - Tiles using
Application of tiles using COL FLEX. COL-FBK is additionally possible on the floor. Apply it over the full surface using a toothed trowel.
