ARDEX Internal Wet Area Tiling System
Designed for Residential and Commercial Bathrooms, Laundries, and Wet Zones
1. Concrete Substrate
A structurally sound and clean concrete base is essential for adhesion and performance of subsequent layers. Must be free from laitance, oil, curing agents, and surface contaminants.
2. Rubber Tape – ARDEX ST TAPE / ARDEX Butynol Joint Band
Flexible waterproofing tape applied to internal corners and joints. Prevents water ingress at vulnerable intersections.
3. Primary Waterproofing Membrane – ARDEX WPM 002 (Superflex Two Part)
Class III, two-component cementitious membrane with excellent flexibility and crack-bridging properties. Applied over entire wet zone to protect walls and floors.
4. Bonding Slurry – ARDEX E90 mixed with ARDEX A 46 / A 38 Screed
Creates a strong mechanical bond between the membrane and the screed.
5. Screed – ARDEX A 38 Rapid-Set Screed
Fast-drying screed ideal for falls to waste in showers and bathrooms. Ready for waterproofing within hours, allowing faster project turnaround.
6. Secondary Waterproofing Membrane – ARDEX WPM 155 Rapid
Water-based polyurethane membrane ideal for over-screed waterproofing before tiling. Provides added protection and compliance.
7. Tile Adhesive – ARDEX X 77 or ARDEX X 18 (Non-Slump Tile Adhesive)
High-performance adhesive suitable for ceramic and porcelain tiles in wet areas. Extended open time and excellent coverage.
8. Grout – ARDEX FG 8 or ARDEX WJ 50 Epoxy Grout
Mould-resistant, water-repellent grout designed for submerged or wet-area tiling. Available in a range of colour-fast finishes.
9. Silicone Sealant – ARDEX SE / ARDEX ST Silicone
Flexible, mould-resistant silicone sealant for movement joints, wall-to-floor junctions, and around fixtures. UV stable and compatible with ARDEX grouts.
