REPLACEMENT OF A TILE
First cut out or mill the tile/
plank 0.5 - 1 cm from the edge all
around. Then cut the complete
panel into strips.
Now carefully remove the inner
part from the adhesive bed using
a suitable tool, e.g. a chisel.
Then carefully detach the profile
parts so as not to damage the
surrounding panels. Now clean
the subfloor and the profile sides
from adhesive residues.
The fillets of the profiles on the
long and cross sides must be
removed from the wall/floor up
to the center of the profile so that
the new tile/plank can be easily
inserted from above.
Now apply the adhesive to the
subfloor to be bonded using a
suitable notched trowel. Make
sure that the adhesive is applied
to the entire surface and not too
thick or thin.
Then insert the tile / plank into
the curve of the existing profile
(the plank is white here for better
clarity).
Press the tile / plank into the ad-
hesive bed. Press the tile / plank
in such a way that the transitions
to the installed surface do not
have any height offsets.
