Ceresit System Solutions
Based on Ceresit’s comprehensive range of products and system solutions, this brochure will give you an overview of the specific range dedicated to tiling and waterproofing under ceramic coverings.
The products and system solutions in this range are essential if you want to ensure the effective functioning, long service life and healthy indoor climate of a building.
Although the ceramic covering of walls and floors is indeed waterproof, it does not provide a 100 % tight barrier. First, water may seep through the grout and then through the tile adhesive. This, in turn, can lead to water damage, and only a professionally chosen and installed under-tile waterproofing system can protect against such damage. This damage is not only unsightly, but can lead to structural failure of the ceramic tiling on the floor or wall. If, moreover, water is entrapped under the surface of the tiles, microbacteria, fungi and mould can develop and destroy the healthy environment where people live, work and play.
Ceresit therefore recommends the installation of a 100 % waterproof system – to keep the water out, protect your ceramic coverings and ensure a healthy climate.

Ceresit – System for kitchens and bathrooms
6 | SYSTEM FOR KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS
It is hard to imagine contemporary bathrooms, showers, laundry rooms or kitchens without ceramic tiles of stunning design and excellent surface technology. Ceramic tiles are frequently used in rooms or areas subject to high moisture. It would be wrong to assume, however, that a completely tile-covered wall or floor area is waterproof. The critical areas on walls and floors are the joints. They allow the penetration of moisture and water into the substrate, causing long-term damage. The most common types of damage are: walls or components saturated with moisture, efflorescence on the surface, cracked joints, detachment of the ceramic coverings.
All of the above-mentioned problems have detrimental effects on our homes, causing the interior to lose its aesthetic appeal and become an unattractive, uncomfortable place which we can no longer enjoy. Some surfaces are directly exposed to contact with water; these include the walls and floors of showers and their surroundings as well as the area of bathtubs and washbasins. In general, the areas which need sealing are: the entire walls inside the shower cabin, walls within the shower range next to the bathtub and at least 50 cm around the shower cabin, the walls where bathtub and washbasin are located (above and on the sides). Also floors and the lower parts of the walls (up to at least 20 cm height) need sealing.
Complete protection against moisture

Ceresit – System for kitchens and bathrooms
Ceresit offers you the right sealing system – with solutions that protect your bathroom and kitchen. So that you can enjoy the useful life and beauty of your ceramic tiles for a long time.
SYSTEM FOR KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS | 7
These areas must be protected by the application of special sealing layers under the tiles. First, seal the surface properly, and then fix the tiles – this is the fundamental principle that applies to surfaces exposed to moisture.
Ceresit under-tile insulation system is effective, easy and quick in the application. It consists of two elements: a two-compound, flexible water-proof coatings of Ceresit CL 50, which may be used interchangeably with the insulating liquid film of Ceresit CL 51 and sealing tape Ceresit CL 152.All sealing Ceresit materials are flexible – therefore they can be applied to rigid and deformable substrates (e.g. lightweight partition walls, heated floors). They also have the ability to covering the existing surfaces cracks. They are characterized by high adhesion to concrete substrates, they do not change their properties under the influence of chlorinated tap water or lime water.
Step by step

1
The properly prepared substrate free from dirt should be primed with deeply penetrating grout Ceresit CT 17 should be applied and spread with the paint brush or soft brush to prevent paddles.
4
To achieve proper, water-proof membrane it is necessary to apply the second layer of hydro-insulation up to the total thickness of approximately 1.0 mm. In case of Ceresit CL 51 it should be applied after 1.5 hour since the application of the first layer.
2
Four hours later after priming the first hydro-insulation layer should be applied damp-resistant coat Ceresit CL 51. This coat should be applied with a steel trowel or a brush. Firstly the belts should be applied along the corners of the walls and floor as well as the passage of the pipelines.
5
Flexible tape Ceresit CL 152 should be covered with the dampproof layer of Ceresit CL 51.
3
Flexible tape Ceresit CL 152 should be applied in the places which need additional reinforcement (mostly at the corners of the walls).
6
When hydro-insulation is dry (4 hours after the application of the second layer) the flexible layer of adhesive Ceresit CM 11 PLUS, CM 12, CM 13 or another from the flexible group, e.g. Ceresit CM 16, CM 17, should be applied.

BALCONY SYSTEM | 13
Ceresit – Balcony system
Balconies embellish the external design of buildings and provide residents with direct access to fresh air and relaxation. A balcony is an exterior part of a building intended for temporary use, but it does not provide support for other construction elements. Most often it is a special construction, permanently attached to the outside wall of the building. The main characteristic of all balconies is their relatively small surface size. Being part of the building just as roofs and external walls, balconies are sometimes exposed to severe weather conditions and therefore prone to corrosion. On hot days, balconies and south-facing terraces can heat up to 70°C. In winter, temperatures may drop to as low as -30°C. Rainfall, accumulating and melting snow loads as well as enormous temperature fluctuations may sometimes considerably limit the utilization of balconies.
Water resistant balcony
The only effective protection from water penetration and concrete corrosion is guaranteed by installing an elastic sealing layer and by using matching building materials. Tile damage is a sign of either wrong tile application or wrong substrate preparation. It is indicated by: a flat sound produced when tapping the tile, a squeaking sound when stepping on the tile, scratches and cracks on the tile surface.
Balconies are quite frequently covered with ceramic or non-porous tiles as these can be easily maintained and create an attractive look. However, the ceramic tile covering itself does not provide sufficient protection from rain, snow and high temperature amplitudes.

Ceresit CL 50 – Waterproof, flexible sealing under tiles
For seamless and jointless sealing of damp and wet rooms subject to moisture under ceramic coverings, e.g. bathrooms, showers, washrooms, toilets in both domestic and public or commercially used areas with/without floor drain. In the case of floor constructions with insulating layers, Ceresit CL 50 Alternative Sealant is applied directly onto the load-distribution layer (screed). Ceresit CL 50 is used for the waterproofing and bridging of expansion and edge joints,pipe entries, floor drains and room corners in combination with waterproof flexible sealing products, e.g. Ceresit CL 50, CL 51, CE 79 and CU 23, under ceramic tile coverings. For indoor and outdoor use. For use on floors and walls.
• ready for covering after 2,5 hours • crack-bridging • for indoor and outdoor use • two components
Ceresit – Balcony system
The most common cause for ceramic damage is water penetrating the floor and freezing, thus detaching the tiles from the substrate. In such situations, also the substrate itself is damaged due to corrosion caused by frozen water. The damaged tiles need to be replaced. Unfortunately, in most cases the complete balcony substrate needs to be renovated.
This waterproofing system is supplemented by products with high flexibility and low water absorptivity. The Ceresit system is suitable for use not only on new balconies, but also on those requiring renovation.
Henkel has a wide range of products both for hydro-insulation of the balconies and the repair of the already damaged structure. Specially designed modern hydro-insulating materials - i.e. Ceresit CL 50 – are an excellent protection of the balcony board against water. The set of products to repair concrete – Ceresit CD – allows a durable and effective protection of the reinforcement, as well as the whole balcony against further damage. Only the use of all Ceresit balcony system components guarantee the long lasting effect.

4
The contact layer of the epoxy resin should be laid on the surface of the flashing layer on which the layer of quartz sand with the fraction of 0.3 to 0.7 mm should be applied.
2
The expansion gaps should be pressed with polypropylene rope Ceresit CS 40, which is a support for the insulation of the filler Ceresit CS 29.
3
The flashing layer should be fixed along the open edges of the balcony in the screed with the screws on the plastic anchors. It is placed on the grounds with the application of the polyethylene sealant Ceresit CS 29. The screed layer should have expansion gaps to be separated from the vertical elements along the closed edges in the contact places with the vertical elements.
1
The slope of the layers balcony, which optimally is 2-2.5% (e.g. 4-5 cm/2 m), should be at the level of the balcony board, which allows the preservation of the constant thickness in all the other layers of the balcony. It is obtained by making the slope layer with fast hardening floor compound Ceresit CN 87, placed on the contact layer of the same compound with addition of emulsion Ceresit CC 81. The minimum thickness of the slope layer should be greater than 10 mm at the thinnest point.

Step by step
7
Frost resistant and anti-slippery ceramic tiles, most frequently gres tiles are used as balcony tiles. Balconies are endangered with very high temperature variations, therefore the application of flexible adhesive Ceresit CM 16 is recommended.
9
Mortar for grouting in the contact places of the screed and the wall of the building should be replaced by a filling of polyurethane, e.g. Ceresit CS 29, or silicone Ceresit CS 25. Additionally, flexible silicone grout should appear in the contact place of the ceramic floor with the balcony plinth.
5
Now the water proof insulation Ceresit CL 50 should be applied in the surface of the screed.
8
To grout the balcony tiles, flexible water-proof grout Ceresit CE 43 GRAND’ELIT is used. It is possible to grout up to the width of 20 mm.
6
The sealing tape Ceresit CL 152 should be inserted into the insulation layer along the contact area of the screed with the wall of the building and the flashing layer.

If corrosion reached the reinforcement concrete should be removed from this part to reach uncorroded places. The rods should be manually or mechanically cleaned to have fair, metallic appearance and then cleaned with compressed air.
5
The following mortars of Ceresit PCC system should be applied when the contact layer is initially dry, when the mortar appears to be mat and wet i.e. after 30-60 minutes. One of the mortars Ceresit CD 25 or CD 26 should be applied depending on the depth of the cavities in the balcony.
3
Mineral anti-corrosion layer of Ceresit CD 30 should be applied on such prepared surface (during the application the steel should be wet).
6
Fine-grained filler Ceresit CD 24 should be used in order to get smooth surface.
1
The corroded parts of the concrete should be chiselled, the damaged layers of flooring, plaster and insulation should be removed in order to clean the concrete surface.
4
The prepared concrete surface should be moistened with water and it should reach the mat-wet condition. The contact layer of Ceresit CD 30 should be applied on this prepared substrate.
By means of Ceresit PCC it is possible to repair the balcony structure in the efficient and long lasting manner
Many balcony structures were subject to corrosion due to the chemical and mechanical factors. Such damages were possible to be effectively repaired. In its offer Ceresit has PCC system adjusted to concrete with the quality over B15, thus the product with which balconies in the nineties were built. Below there are actions which should be taken to repair the damaged balcony:

Ceresit – Terrace system
Terrace on the heated room is particularly vulnerable to temperature variations and the associated deformation of materials – concrete slab with side length of 6 m due to differences in temperature can change their size by up to 6 mm. Therefore Ceresit system consists of two flexible hydro-insulation layers:
Basic insulation – insulating adhesive membrane Ceresit BT 18 or BT 21
• prevents moisture, visible as dirty water stains and mould on the ceiling of the room below
• prevents penetration of water vapour through the ceiling in the upper layers of the terrace
Under-tile insulation – flexible, two compound water-proof coatingCeresit CL 50
• provides effective protection against rainwater, preventing any moisture of the holding down layer and thermal insulation
Terrace on the heated room
Terrace on the soil
Water-proof insulation on the soil prevents capillary water absorption into the adhesive and compensates for the stress from thermal deformations, which reduces the risk of tile separation.

In the slope layer, along the open edge of the terraces. The first flashing should be fixed with screws on the plastic anchors. It is fixed in the substrate with the polyurethane sealant Ceresit CS 29.
5
The drainage mat placed directly on the damp-proof membrane ensures fast draining of water from potential leakages and drop accumulations. On the drainage mat the thermal insulation is laid with a material resistant to moisture penetration (preferably extruded polystyrene boards) to protect the top layer of polyester fabric with the weight of 200-300 g/m2.
3
The substrate should be primed with Ceresit BT 26. Only metal and plastic substrates should be primed.
6
The next step is to apply the holding down layer of Ceresit CN 87 with the thickness of 45 mm. The screed should be divided with expansion gaps into the fields with an area of 20-25 m2. These fields should be rectangles with sides ratio of 1:1 to 1:2. Expansion gaps are done at the places of terrace differences in the surface heights or changes in its shape, etc.
1
The slope of the terrace layers which optimally is 2-2.5% (e.g. 4-5 cm / 2 m), should be shaped at the level of ceiling board. It is obtained by the application of the fast hardening floor mass Ceresit CN 87, laid on the contact layer of the same mass with the addition of emulsion Ceresit CC 81. The minimal thickness of the slope layer in the thinnest place must be greater than 10 mm.
4
On the primed slope layer the water-proof insulation of the adhesive membrane Ceresit BT 18 or BT 21 should be fixed, which also performs the function of vapour insulation. It is inserted on the flashing along the open edges and on the walls of the terrace edges at the height of 20-30 cm above the top level of the terrace surface.

7
Polypropylene rope Ceresit CS 40 is inserted into the expansion gaps, which is a support for insulation with the filler Ceresit CS 29.
10
The insulating tape Ceresit CL 152 is inserted in the line of the line expansion gaps, in the corners – at the contact places of the screed with the wall of the building.
8
On the open terrace edges, the second level of the flashing is fixed on the screed layer. At the closed edges, in the contact places with the elements of terrace housing, a layer of the screed must have expansion gaps to separate from the vertical elements.
11
The terrace floor is laid with frost resistant and necessarily anti-skid ceramic tiles, most frequently the gres ones porcelain tiles. Terraces are critical substrates, exposed to very large fluctuations in temperature. Therefore, it is recommended to use the flexible adhesive Ceresit CM 17 Super Flexible, which is characterized by a high bonding strength, pourable consistency, and extended open time.
9
Now, the under tile insulation with a flexible insulating coat Ceresit CL 50 is applied on the surface of the screed.
12
Flexible water-proof grout Ceresit CE 43 GRAND’ELIT is used for grouting the terrace tiles. Joints are possible to be filled with it to the width of 20 mm.

Ceresit – Swimming pool system
SWIMMING POOL SYSTEM | 31
Swimming pools are becoming more and more popular these days. Until recently they were mainly built in recreation centres, schools or hotels. Today, many private investors want to have their homes equipped with swimming pools so they can keep themselves fit, healthy and relaxed. For these private recreation facilities to function properly and fulfill their owners’ expectations, proper use of the pool is not enough. If the pools are to maintain their useful life over many years, certain points need to be considered as early as in the design and building stage.
Only after protecting the concrete surface can the next finishing layers be applied. Inside the pool, only materials based on minerals or resins can be used for sealing. The installation of a waterproof layer inside the pool is only one of the steps required for maintaining its long service life and fault-free operation. Proper sealing of all facilities adjoining the pool – such as showers, bathrooms and changing rooms – is also of great importance.
32 | SWIMMING POOL SYSTEM
Ceresit – Swimming pool system
CERESITSwimming poolsystem
A perfecty “leakproof”swimming pool
Professional execution of under-tile waterproofing must be a standard, because only this can ensure the proper functioning of the pool system and of all the building materials used. The inside of the pool should be protected with a carefully selected sealing layer, installed directly on the surface of the whole construction.
SWIMMING POOL SYSTEM | 33
Ceresit – Swimming pool system
Step by step
As the pool is operated at different water loads (full and half-full as well as all stages in-between) and temperature conditions and as the surrounding pool area is subject to different thermal conditions (with/without underfloor heating), it is recommended to use only the following materials for sealing:
• flexible cementitious coatings for large pools and for the surrounding area with underfloor heating
• cementitious coatings combined with sealing tapes for small pools up to 20 m² and for the surrounding area but without underfloor heating.
These waterproofing layers must be resistant to chlorinated water and/or chlorine-ozone combinations and other chemical substances used for cleaning and disinfecting swimming pools. Tile adhesives used in the pool and neighbouring rooms must be flexible, and the grouts should be water-resistant and protected against attack by microorganisms.
All work required for protecting the pool should begin by with levelling the walls (if necessary) using the Ceresit PCC system. Depending on the thickness of the levelling layer, either a fine-grained concrete repair mortar (Ceresit CD 25 Mortar for Thin Layers) or a coarse-grained mortar (Ceresit CD 26 Mortar for Thick Layers) is used.It is applied on a contact layer produced from a coat of Ceresit CD 30 Anti-Corrosion Protection and Contact Mortar “2 in 1”. For detailed information please refer to pages 19.
1
Apply the 1st coat of Ceresit CL 50 or Ceresit CR 166 2-C Flexible Coating (for small swimming pools of up to 20 m² alternatively apply Ceresit CR 90 Crystaliser Waterproof Coat).
4
Place and fix the tiles using Ceresit CM 17 “Super Flexible” Adhesive. In special situations (thermal water, fiberglass, etc) you have to use the epoxy adhesive Ceresit CM 74 UltraPox Fix.
2
Embed the Ceresit CL 152 Sealing Tape into the 1st coat.
5
Grout the tiles using Ceresit CE 43 GRAND’ELIT Grout. In special situations (thermal water, fiberglass, etc) you have to use the epoxy grout Ceresit CE 79 UltraPox Color.
3
Apply a 2nd coat of Ceresit CL 50 or Ceresit CR 166 2-C Flexible Coating (for small swimming pools of up to 20 m² alternatively apply Ceresit CR 90 Crystaliser Waterproof Coat).
Many swimming pools differ with respect to the number of layers and the quality of insulation in places such as corners or other sites of installation. We therefore recommend using the detailed drawings available as part of Ceresit’s technical materials.

CERESITA system for inverted roof insulation
An inverted roof is a roof with such an arrangement of the layers in which the hydro-insulation layer is directly laid on the structure, then the layer of thermal insulation and holding-down layer in the form of gravel or soil with vegetation. Such a solution reduces the direct impact of weather conditions, increasing the life expectancy of the hydro-insulation layer.
Temperature variations during the year, often crossing the “0”, as well as the temperature difference inside and outside the building cause a deformation of materials used as layers of the inverted roof. Hydro-insulation material Ceresit are flexible and also resistant to corrosion, by means of which they preserve tightness even after many years.
More frequent solution to the usage of the roof space as a green site determines the use of materials that will not be injurious to plants. Bitumen-rubber blend used in the production of membrane Ceresit BT 18 or BT 21 and bitumen Ceresit CP 48 Xpress, CP 44 and CP 43 is composed on the basis of solvent-free aqueous dispersion, harmless to the development of greenery.

2
Then the slope layer should be primed with Ceresit BT 26, on which the self-adhesive insulation membrane Ceresit BT 18 or BT 21 should be applied.
5
Gravel or drainage mat should be placed under the lawn on which the polyethylene damp-proof course should be laid.
3
Directly on the membrane Ceresit BT 18 or BT 21, the anti-root fabric should be laid in the places where the lawn is planned. Then the whole roof should be covered with extruded polystyrene foam boards on which the protective interfacing is laid.
6
The last stage is to pour soil and plant the grass or other plants.
1
After cleaning the surface of the reinforced concrete slab the slope layer should be done with the fast setting Ceresit CN 87 or Ceresit CN 83 on the previously prepared substrate with the same product with the additives of Ceresit CC 81.
4
The next step is to do the pedestrian route and the road. The reinforced concrete slab done on the polystyrene foam boards under the road should be protected against water by means of membrane Ceresit BT 18 or BT 21on soil Ceresit BT 26.
An alternative solution to the insulation with the bitumen membrane is the application of one of the bitumen mass Ceresit CP 48 Xpress, CP 44 or CP 43. On the previously primed substrate with Ceresit CP 41 bitumen mass should be applied in which the fibreglass grid should be inserted.
A SYSTEM FOR INVERTED ROOF INSULATION | 41
One of the most difficult elements in the application of the hydroinsulation of the inverted roofs is the connection of the various layers of the roof. The Ceresit system considerably facilitates this problem.
