Applications
Styroliner can be fixed to a wide range of wall and ceiling constructions. On existing walls and ceilings remove any loose plaster or wallpaper and scour any painted surfaces. If the surface is damp or subject to mould growth pre-treatment with an antifungal treatment is recommended. On new walls care should be taken to minimise mortar overhang. A suitable adhesive should be applied to the wall to form a continuous band around the board with a centre band of adhesive.
On existing walls which are damp,it is recommended that Ardurit X7 is used which is unaffected by moisture. In the case of clean dry walls or new build, a gypsum based bonding adhesive may be used. The Styroliner board should be pressed up against the adhesive and tamped back using a straight edge. Secondary, mechanical fixings are recommended and fixings should penetrate the masonry surface by 25mm or as recommended by the manufacturer. Styroliner can be finished using either a plaster skim or with established dry wall techniques.
