DBW omnicem
Bedding mortars
Applications
The mortar is intended for laying frost resistant, low porosity, solid ceramic tiles, in the conventional way, on surfaces that are not subject to heavy use and if it is not possible to use adhesive, as well as wall surfaces/ floors that are not fully level in some exposed, outdoor places. Ceramic tiles with a porous back must be immersed in water. After any excess water has dripped away, the tiles are ready for use. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Outdoor use: it is necessary to choose the reflective surface and colour of the tile so that, in hot weather and direct sunlight, the temperature does not exceed 70° C. Example of where it can be used: swimming pools. Caution: Do not use DBW omnicem as a powder tile adhesive.

Which glue comb is best to use?
The choice of the right teeth depends on a number of factors;
- the type of tile adhesive (paste or powder),
- the 'buttering-floating' method is used, and
- the application (wall or floor),
- the flatness of the substrate and the flatness of the tile.
How long does the mixed glue last in the tub?
This is the pot life, which is usually between 2 and 4 hours. Attention! With fast-hardening adhesives this is only 20-30 minutes.
When can I walk on the tiles?
This can be done (carefully) after at least 24 hours. With fast-setting adhesives, this can be done after just a few hours.
