COVERAGE:
Approximately 3 kg/m² using a 6mm square notch trowel, Approximately 4.1 kg/m2 8mm square notch trowel. Approximately 5.3 kg/m² using a 10mm square notch trowel. * The consumption rates of dry powder are based on lab trials and might vary subject to variation of subfloor level and surface regularity. The reverse profile of the used ceramic and the surface structure of the substrate to be covered are also important factors, besides the tile size, for the consumption of mortar.
