Installing 3 mm AquaStop –

a step-by-step guide

Before installation, please note: Check the base in accordance with CEN/TS 14472 and ensure that the quality of the base is suitable for proper processing. In general, the base should be clean, level, dry, resistant to tension and compression and should not contain any substances such as plasticisers, solvents or other diffusing substances. It must be ensured that the base is in a state of equilibrium humidity and that the CM value is below 2.0 % (for cement screed) or below 0.5 % (for anhydrite screed and anhydrite flowing screed).

Cleaning the surface

Cleaning the surface

Step 1
Clean the surface thoroughly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Remove any adhesive and paint residues completely.

Laying out the first panel

Step 4
Mask the wall connection area with SELITstop® Moulding Protection Belt to protect against moisture.

Installing the flooring

Installing the flooring

Step 5
Lay the flooring in the same orientation as the underlay. Do not place any load on the underlay. If necessary, place the board under your knees/feet to distribute the load.

Finishing the installation

Finishing the installation

Step 6
Repeat steps 2 – 5 until the entire floor has been installed. Use the overlap and the adhesive strip to affix the individual panels of the underlay together. Cover any further joints with the Aluminium-Foil Sealing Tape to make them vapour-tight.
