Recommendations

Recommendations for OSB or sandwich panel facade surfaces

For installing Pletaflex flexible tiles on OSB or sandwich panel facade surfaces, the specific properties of these materials must be considered. They require additional preparation to ensure strong adhesion and long-lasting finish.

Important! This approach will ensure reliable attachment of flexible tiles and extend the service life of the facade cladding.
1
Priming:

Priming:

Treat the surface with concrete contact for better adhesion.

2
Leveling:

Leveling:

if necessary, use cement adhesive to eliminate unevenness.

3
Reinforcement:

Reinforcement:

apply fiberglass mesh to reinforce the base and prevent cracking.

4
Finishing:

Finishing:

apply deep penetration primer, after complete drying you can start tile installation.

Insulation attachment

Temperature conditions:

Follow the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not install in freezing temperatures.
In hot weather, dampen the surface so the adhesive doesn't dry too fast
Laying

Steps for laying flexible stone:

Tip: Work in pairs – one applies adhesive, the other lays the tile and removes excess.
1
Applying adhesive

Applying adhesive

with notched trowel (4-8mm – for smooth tiles, 6mm – for textured tiles)

2
Laying tile

Laying tile

press firmly with a float to remove air

3
Removing excess adhesive

Mistakes

Common installation mistakes and how to fix them

Follow the instructions at all stages of flexible stone installation to avoid facade problems in the future

Adhesive layer too thick or too thin
Apply an even layer with a notched trowel.
Poor wall preparation
Always clean and prime the surface.
Ignoring temperature conditions
Monitor air humidity and temperature during installation
