Sealing urban furniture elements with PROMPT cement
Downtown areas are increasingly at the heart of the pedestrianization phenomenon. This helps to protect the environment, enhance the quality of life for pedestrians and residents, and stimulate the economy. To achieve this, numerous spaces are created and designed, requiring the installation of various types of urban furniture.
These pieces of furniture are subjected to various aggressions such as mechanical actions (vehicle impacts, vandalism), implementation defects (pure cement cracking), and aggressive agents (freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salt). It's crucial to use an appropriate product.
Solution
The mortar of PROMPT natural cement enables the sealing of all types of urban furniture on masonry substrates, both in new construction and renovation. PROMPT natural cement allows for fast work, resulting in very short service downtime. Resistant to external aggressions (freeze/thaw, water, salt), PROMPT natural cement ensures real durability. Additionally, the possible coloring of the mortar adds an aesthetic dimension.
Technique
Before preparing the PROMPT natural cement mortar, ensure the piece to be sealed is in place and adjust it with shims. Then, prepare the substrate. To do this, protect the surroundings to avoid soiling them and prepare the anchoring legs or pieces. Dig the necessary space for sealing. Allow for the necessary volume to completely encase the piece. Finally, dust and moisten the substrate for better adhesion. For mortar preparation, dry mix the PROMPT natural cement Vicat, add TEMPO if necessary, and add sand. Homogenize the mixture and add water until a plastic consistency is achieved. For placement, moisten the substrate again, prepare and place the mixture, and encase the piece. Tighten the PROMPT natural cement mortar. Service can be resumed a few minutes after the end of setting.
Fields of application
PROMPT natural cement is used for sealing urban furniture as well as tiles, and it's also suitable for all kinds of sealings such as joinery sealing, hinge and shutter stop sealing, and other applications.
Benefits of its application
Using Vicat PROMPT natural cement mortar for tile sealing brings :
- Speed
- Durability
- Aesthetic appeal
- Adhesion on both old and new substrates
Advices
If this sealing is intended to be covered with plaster, a 1 centimeter retreat from the outer surface of the substrate is required. This is to prevent the appearance of the ghost trace of the sealing after installation.
