Installation process
The basis on which will
the glued panels must be flat. The installation process takes place in the following
stages:
Preliminary
preparation of the base, elimination of all cracks on the working surface;
Padding;
Markup;
Preparation of the solution
for masonry - it should be of such a consistency so as not to drain from the spatula;
If it is necessary to produce
trimming excess parts of the panels to fit the parameters of the wall;
applying glue in an even thin layer - here
it is important to take into account that the size of the layer does not exceed the panel itself and make sure that it does not
there were voids under the façade system;
Applying material
for cladding and smoothing;
Filling the joints with glue;
Drying process;
Removing the protective film
from the front side after drying within 48 hours or after complete
hardening of the adhesive solution. Moreover, it should be very easy to remove if
this does not happen, then you need to leave the object to dry for some more time.
AMK facade system installation technology
The AMK system is universal and is attached to almost any base - it can be used for finishing facades made of brick and concrete, wood, plywood, drywall, gas and foam concrete. The light weight of the elements does not make the structure heavier and does not require additional wall reinforcement.
For work you will need
the following tools and materials:
- Roller for
applying a primer; - Building
mixer; - Capacity
for mixing glue; - Serrated and
flat spatula; - Building
level; - Roulette and
pencil (for marking); - Building
knife; - Ground
solution; - Putty
(if necessary) to eliminate seams and cracks; - Water;
- Glue;
- Grout.
Facade fastening technology
the system is simple and consists of several steps:
Preparation
bases and its markings - the surface where the AMK will be attached must be
pre-cleaned from dust and primed, all existing cracks and seams
putty;
Preparation
glue - the glue solution is diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions - the mixture must
it will turn out to be moderately liquid, but at the same time not to drain from the surface. Specialists
it is advised not to mix the entire volume of glue at once, but to prepare the mixture in parts as
necessary, this will preserve the properties
glue and prevent it from drying out.
Application
adhesive solution - the glue must be evenly distributed over the surface
walls with a notched trowel at an angle of 90 degrees;
Mounting
AMK - start glueing from the lower left corner, protruding and unnecessary elements
cut with a knife before starting work. Each element of the facade system is tightly
pressed against the wall and smoothed with a flat spatula
It is important to ensure that
all the air has escaped from under the stove, there should be no voids under the material;
Grout
seams - after installing the panels, it is necessary to fill the seams between the sheets
the remaining glue or special grout. To do this, use a flat spatula,
which is positioned at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the base
You can not
they are afraid to stain or damage the panels, since they have a protective film;
Removing the protective
films - the film is removed only after the glue has completely dried, avoiding direct
sun rays. On average, it takes from 2 to 5 days, the lower the temperature
environment, the longer the glue will dry.
How to glue the AMK facade system
For work with AMK facades
strong adhesion glue is used for mosaics and porcelain stoneware, with high
indicators of moisture resistance and frost resistance.
The color of the glue does not play a big role,
but since it is often used as a grout for finished
surfaces, it is worth giving preference to neutral shades - white or gray
fit perfectly.
What is AMK facade system
AMK facades are
panels for finishing walls and partitions with imitation of stone or
brickwork applied over a reinforcing mesh with a thickness of 30 -33 mm.
Used in production
chips from natural marble and acrylic water dispersion, which is applied
on a polymer mesh base. Iron oxide is used as a dye
pigments, they are highly resistant to adverse external conditions,
including exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Finished facade sheets are protected
film, which is removed only after the installation of the system. The film protects
panels during storage and transportation, as well as during assembly
works from the ingress of adhesive solution and grout.
