Shower tray installation situation
Check the surface with test strips (1). ⁄Remove the cover film (2). Press the test strip onto the wall surface (3) and pull it downwards from the wall (4) so that the foam tears off and sticks to the wall surface. If the foam can be removed from the wall surface, the surface of the wall must be treated further.
If the bonding test is negative, the spray primer can be used. Lightly spray on the spray primer at a distance of 5-10 cm with the window or door open. (Observe the manufacturer’s processing instructions!) New! Craftsman-friendly priming (10 min. drying time).
Preparing the shower tray
1) Clean the edge of the bathtub with the cleaning cloth.
2) Place the tray sealing tape with the upper edge of the gray tray adhesive on the marking line (OKFFB minus tile thickness) (a).
3 ) Draw a marking line all the way around from the top edge of the tray minus the tile thickness (see Fig. 6).
4) Gradually remove the protective film from the front of the gray tub adhesive (1). Stick the bathtub sealing tape exactly to the marked line on the edge of the bathtub (2). Press on lightly with the squeegee, adjust if necessary (3) . Press firmly onto the vertical edge of the tray with the squeegee (4)!
5 ) Remove a piece of the protective film from the start of the bathtub sealing tape (1), then stick the end of the bathtub sealing tape onto the start, overlapping (s ), and press down firmly! Close the protective film again.
6) Floor-level installation / overlap only on the long side! Measure the shower tray (s1+s2) x2, apply the tray sealing tape and glue all the way around. If an extension is required, the tray sealing tape can be applied overlapping on the long sides.
6 ) Cut into the tub sealing tape at 1 and corners 2 and 3 up to the top of the gray tub adhesive, do not cut through! Remove the cover foil strip from the tub sealing tape until the sealing corners can be positioned. After fitting the sealing corners, press the protective film back on!
7) Flexible sealing corner for corner 2:
8) Flexible sealing corner for corner 2 (floor/floor connection). Remove the protective film from the tub adhesive (black) of the sealing corner, position on the back of the tub sealing tape and press on. Press on the protective film of the tub sealing+ tape again!
9) Flexible sealing corner for corner 3:
10) Flexible sealing corner for corner 3 (wall/floor connection). Remove the protective film from the tub adhesive (black) of the sealing corner, position on the back of the tub sealing tape and press on. Press on the protective film of the tub sealing tape again!
11) Raise corners 2 and 3 and glue them to the tub sealing tape. Press on the protective film of the tub sealing tape again!
12) Flexible sealing corner for corner 1:
13) Adjust the flexible sealing corner at corner 1 ( transition wall/wall/floor) by folding a and b to form c and glue it to the marked position on the tub sealing tape. Press on the protective film of the tub sealing tape again!
14 ) Fold over the sealing corner attached to corner 1 and press it onto the sealing tape.
15 ) Corners 4 and 5 must be cut upwards by approx. 10 mm from the bottom at the edge of the tab of the cover film (a). Then tear the foil upwards(b).
16 ) Fold the circumferential bathtub sealing tape together with the corners by 90° and secure with adhesive tape. Then finish all the way around the edge of the bathtub. This protects the bathtub sealing tape from soiling.
17) Remove the “dust protection” and the tub sealing tape can now be glued to the wall and floor as shown in Fig. 22-25 .
18 ) After positioning the shower tray, corners 4 and 5 must be stretched . Remove the protective film.
19 ) Use the squeegee to press the tub sealing tape exactly into the 90° corner.
20) After removing all protective film from corners 4 and 5, press the tub sealing tape and the remaining corners 1 to 3 onto the floor and wall using the squeegee (Fig. 23). Brush from bottom to top.
Processing the bathtub
1)Mark the height of the bathtub seal
and install as for the shower tray. Cut the corner to the top of the tray.
2) Flexible sealing corner for corner 6.
3) Position the flexible sealing corner on the back of the tub sealing tape, fold up the sealing corner (a) and glue it to the tub sealing tape.
4) Remove all protective film, press the corner and tub sealing tape firmly into place.
