FAQ

Structural work

Sealant is a collective term and comes in countless compositions/materials, with diverse properties. Therefore, make sure to inquire thoroughly in advance about the function (sealing/gluing), the load (swimming pool, expansion joint), and the substrate (color-sensitive natural stone) in order to select the right sealant.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. A sealant is subject to various loads (such as force, tension, moisture, UV), which cause its performance to decrease over time. Therefore, sealant joints are often referred to as "maintenance joints," which should be periodically checked and replaced as necessary, depending on the load. A sealant joint cannot be repaired.

Sealants are made based on an elastomer and are generally used to create a smooth/flexible joint or transition. They have an excellent sealing effect and are better able (than, for example, cement-based grouts) to absorb some tensions/movements.

Yes, the performances of our decoupling mats can be multifaceted. In addition to the main function such as reducing contact noise or decoupling, the mat can have an additional function such as waterproofing, which can be found in the technical data sheet of the product.

Yes, the performances of our decoupling mats can be multifaceted. In addition to the main function such as reducing contact noise or decoupling, the mat can have an additional function such as waterproofing, which can be found in the technical data sheet of the product.

Decoupling mats are applied in places or spaces where one wants to prevent influences from the substrate from causing negative effects in the final finish. This detaches components from each other, which, for example, has a beneficial effect on working floors and on reducing contact noise, as in terraced houses.

No, our self-levelers are developed with excellent flow properties but do not behave like water because they contain a large amount of fillers. Flat and level are also different concepts. For a flat appearance, you need the right amount of material (measured and indicated on the substrate), spread the self-leveler with a trowel or rake, and optionally use a spiked or venting roller for a flat (mirror) end result.

Yes, self-leveling compound is usually applied as a thinner and adhesive leveling layer. Primer is part of this leveling system and helps reduce suction, improve adhesion, and prevent air from escaping from the substrate. These factors can strongly influence the final result of the self-leveling layer during application and drying.

A flat substrate is the basis for a good final finish. This is often overlooked. The possibility of making corrections during the application of the final finish is limited and time-consuming. A flat substrate ensures a flat end result.

When using admixtures, we often see leftovers lingering in the warehouse or bus for a long time. With an opened package, the material loses its working properties over time, and its quality may deteriorate. Also, be alert to the harmful influence of frost. When in doubt, opt for the security of a fresh, unopened package.

When you want to influence the performance and properties of a product yourself, it is good to know that this has been extensively tested by us in advance. We have incorporated the knowledge and experience regarding the quantities to be used, as stated on the packaging and product data sheet, which are often more accurate than you might think.

Naturally, we design our products with a specific application and performance in mind. However, a specific situation in your project may require additional performance or properties. With our admixtures, you can enhance products yourself in terms of water resistance, flexibility, or impact sensitivity.

A finish in (ceramic) tiles should not be considered waterproof, due to factors such as the possibility of microcracks and at the location of the tile edges. Applying the correct waterproofing to the substrate before starting the tiling work is therefore essential.

This choice depends heavily on the situation and the application of your project. Is there a moist environment or are you working within the spray range? This, combined with a risk assessment, determines whether to choose a primer, a paste (coat?), or a complete system of decoupling mats, combined with special fittings.

Sealing materials are applied in places or spaces where one wants to prevent the effects of use from spreading to adjacent spaces, such as moisture in a bathroom.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this. Consumption depends heavily on the function for which the primer is applied and the substrate on which it is applied. The consumption of a primer applied to reduce suction on a porous substrate will be considerably higher than that of a bonding-promoting primer on a closed substrate. Our indicative consumption calculator is a useful tool to help you with this.

Omnicol supplies ready-to-use primers that do not need to be diluted. Open the packaging, stir, and you're ready to go. Only the suction-reducing plaster primer ZV (FIX+ R and FLEX+ are also dilutable) omnibind can be adjusted to the suction of the substrate by dilution.

When gluing tiles, leveling floors, or plastering walls or ceilings, it is often advisable to provide the substrate with a good pretreatment. You can imagine that these products or adhesives, leveling compounds, or plaster mortar need to adhere to the substrate. To ensure optimal adhesion, it is recommended to apply a primer or primer first. Using a primer can prevent many problems from occurring.

With CLEARMIX omnifix, our spreading mortar, we give you the opportunity to avoid the risk of plaster and lime efflorescence from the mortar. You can reduce that risk even further to 0% with a well-considered selection of other efflorescence-free facade materials. This way you can enjoy an undamaged facade view, even years after the building has been completed.

It is advisable to order colored mortar in one go to avoid slight color differences.

Everyone is familiar with the white or gray rash on masonry. Annoying and not aesthetically pleasing. There are different types of efflorescence: saltpetre, lime efflorescence and gypsum efflorescence. With the use of Omnicol adhesive and thin-bed mortars, the phenomenon of efflorescence on the facade is greatly reduced compared to standard masonry. Always ensure that the guidelines regarding the protection of fresh masonry are adhered to. Do not process mortar at very low temperatures (< 5°C) or during rainfall. In addition, the choice of facing brick is also an important factor in preventing the risk of efflorescence.

The most efficient and ergonomic way to process adhesive mortar is by machine using an adhesive pump. This way it goes faster and the best work is delivered. An alternative processing method is manual processing using a piping bag.

Gluing does not have to be more expensive than traditional masonry. More stones are needed per m², but no grouting is necessary. Per kg. Adhesive mortar costs more than masonry mortar, but the consumption is a lot lower. Productivity also increases with thin joints.

Simple, no. You can also glue all kinds of bandages.
