1.12.6 Planicrete SP synthetic-rubber latex for interior and exterior cement mixes.

1.13 Scope

This performance specification covers the latex modified sand/cement screeds, waterproofing and adhesive system for the above mentioned site and selection over sound solid flat consistent fully cured grease & laitance free dry properly prepared concrete substrate in accordance with AS-3958-1 (2007) ‘Ceramic Tiles; Part 1: Guide to the Installation of Ceramic Tiles’ and AS-3958-2 (1992) ‘Ceramic Tiles'

Part 2: Guide to the Selection of a 'Ceramic Tiling System’, as per architect’s drawings and specifications and as per the manufacturer’s data sheets.

1.14 Tiles

Tiles selected should be laid in compliance with AS-3958-1 (2007), AS-3958-2 (1992) and should be of suitable type for the application.
