PROGRESS PROFILES - PRODESO HEAT SYSTEM 9
Installing tiles on a cement based suboor presents many challenges.
The following table illustrates the dierence in thermal expansion between a cement suboor and the tiles surface…

• Cement Based Substrate must be compact and structurally sound
• Cracks and Fissure in the substrate need to present only longitudinal movement (NO VERTICAL MOVEMENT)
• Debris, dust, wax, grease, and oil residue must be removed or abraded/scored to oer better bond to the thin set.
• Minimum Tile Size 2” x 2” ( 50mm x 50mm )
• Seams, perimeters, and corners need to be sealed with Proband 150/250 when water migration is expected.
• Seams, perimeters, and corners need to be sealed with Proband 150/250 when a waterproof installation is necessary.
EXPANSION JOINTS:
PRODESO-HEAT does NOT eliminate the need for movement joints, including perimeter joints, within the tiled surface.
Movement joints must be installed in accordance with industry standards and norms TCNA EJ171, and TTMAC 301 MJ.
* (please consult with your thin set manufacturer for proper thin set selection and proper curing time for your specic installation).
