Nida HYDROFLAM 12.5

Instructions for use:

• prior to installing ceramic tiles, it is advisable to check the effectiveness of the adhesive on the gypsum board;
• in areas at risk of excessive humidity, it is recommended to use boards with superior properties (eg Aquaboard, Cementex);
• in areas at risk of infiltration or direct contact with water, it is advisable to waterproof the boards;
• it is recommended to clean the surfaces before fixing the ceramic tiles.

Handling and storage:

• the boards should be transported with their lateral edge placed vertically, or using special transportation means (carts, forklifts, trucks);
• the boards should be stored on pallets or wood spacers, placed at an equal distance of approx. 50 cm. The packs should be stored on dry, smooth floors, so as to prevent damages (deformation or breaking);
• the boards should be stored and installed inside, at temperatures between 5-40°C, in rooms with relative humidity of maximum 60%;
• the boards which get wet during storage should be completely dried prior to installation. In order to dry, the boards should be placed vertically on a level floor, so as to allow air to flow freely between them;
• the boards should not be stored under direct sunlight for long periods of times;
• when storing the boards, take into account the loadbearing capacity of the floor. E.g. 58 Nida HYDROFLAM boards with the thickness of 12.5 mm place a weight of about 650 kg/m² on the floor.
