WATERPROOFING ACCORDING TO DIN 18534
CLASSEN polymer tiles are suitable for use in wet areas
and can also be used in the shower in connection with the
installation of a shower tray if the application specifica-
tions are observed. Waterproofing according to DIN 18534
is mandatory and described below:
Before starting installation, the waterproof membrane, the
sealing tapes and the system components must be cut to
size and and adjusted before starting installation.
Aft er preparing the subfloor, first the outer and inner cor-
ners and then the sealing tapes are bonded over the entire
surface with CLASSEN MultiConnect at the joints in the
floor/wall transition and in the area of the wall corners.
The sealing part must be positioned centrally above the
joint or wall corner.
Press down firmly to ensure full-surface bonding. Air
bubble entrapment must be avoided by pressing on and
spreading laterally with a smoothing trowel.
For the application of the waterproofing, the building
surfaces must first be prepared. Information on this can be
found in the chapter “Subfloor” (page 22).
Basically, two sealing methods are possible according to
DIN 18534:
1.
sealing with waterproofing membranes
2.
sealing with liquid waterproofing
ATTENTION: In damp areas, continuous seal-
ing in accordance with DIN 18534 „Abdichtung
von Innenräumen“ and full-surface bonding
are mandatory. Suitable sealing materials and
accessories must be used for sealing.
ATTENTION: The following information is only
an informative guide. Please observe the ap-
plication specifications of the manufacturers,
which are binding.
