Applications

In wall units with the laying of AAC blocks when erecting exterior and interior load bearing and non-load bearing masonry walls. Block Fix Mortar is applied to horizontal and vertical joints with the help of the Notched trowel (Toothed trowels) of the same width as the block. Tileora block fix mortar joints must not exceed 1/16′′ of block size.

Helpful hints for using Block Fix Mortar

The working life of the mixture is about 4 hours. Drying time Total curing is obtained in 24 hours. Joints should not exceed 1/16′′ thick. Do not wipe away any excess mortar that exudes from the joints right away as it might coat. Let it set partially and then scrape off with a spatula.

Laying with Block Fix Mortar

Apply to AAC Block using an appropriately sized notched trowel. Deposit the proper a m o u n t of Block Fix Mortar along the centre of the horizontal surface to evenly distribute the mortar over surface. Use the trowel to directly apply mortar to the vertical surface, drawing it from the bottom to the top of the block. The mortar allows for approximately 10 minutes of straightening and adjustment of the unit before it begins to set. Tileora FIX Thin Bed Mortar must not be used when the temperature is below 4°C and avoid direct sunlight if possible (above 45°C).
