BSW has developed a frost resistant acoustic tiled surface that revolutionises the way tiles are laid on terraces, balconies, roof gardens, etc. It consists of a rubber crumb base panel containing moulded recesses. Ideally the tiles are adhered into the recesses, although they can be free-fitting. This then gives a perfect floor finish.

Regupol Keraflex FB Tiling System consists of base panels, ceramic tiles, Regupol Keraflex adhesive to fix the tiles, rubber starter kerbs, drain cover, drain channel and perforated edging corner (connecting metal).
Check the base and if necessary remove any loose pieces. Fill large holes and smooth over any unevenness in the surface.
In order to improve drainage we recommend that there is an incline according to the guidelines for flat roofs. Plastic sealant sheeting that is compatible with rubber (e. g. Wolfin IB / Wolfin GWSK etc) or liquid-based sealant should be applied. The sealant sheets should not overlapped by more than 1.5 metres.
It is possible to post-cut the reverse side of the Regupol Keraflex FB rubber base panels (using an electric post-cutting tool), so that minor unevenness in the base can be better accommodated. |
The Regupol Keraflex FB rubber base panels should be laid in the direction of the incline and when the weather is dry and the temperature is higher than 5°C so that the base panels are secure and cannot be pushed accidentally out of line.
Butyl rubber bands can be fixed under each row of panels. It is recommended that butyl rubber bands still be used, even for surfaces that are enclosed on all sides.
Start laying the panels so that that the joints are perfectly in line (using a plumb line, if necessary), starting at the front edge. If you start with non-separated tiles, then prefabricated “starter kerbs” should be used, against which the base panel are laid flush. Continue laying the base panels. The base panels can be cut to fit at the edges using an electric jigsaw (use a saw-blade with coarse, well-spaced teeth).
Edging and base mat Post-cutting the reverse side of the base panel to accommodate unevenness in the base Base panel on Butyl rubber bands Prefabricated starter kerbs and base panel Cutting with jig saw Application of the adhesive Inlaying of the stone-effect tiles Cutting tiles to size with circular saw The stone effect tiles that are supplied should be fixed with adhesive one by one in the fields of the base panels. Adhesive should be applied in a cross pattern with additional spots in between. One cartridge of Regupol Keraflex Adhesive is sufficient for approximately three base panels, i.e. 24 tiles. For larger areas it is recommended that a pneumatic gun be used to apply the Regupol Keraflex Adhesive.
