Advice on installation and maintenance

STAIRS

Make sure that the treads and risers to be laid are clean and dry and show no signs of moisture before being laid.
We recommend using fast setting and hydrating elastic/deformable adhesives (such as ELASTORAPID MAPEI) using a double spreading technique covering the entire surface of the element and not by points in order to prevent differential tensions.
It is good practice to create the following expansion joints to permit expansion and movement:

  • 10 mm from side walls
  • Minimum 2 mm between tread and riser
All grouting must be done using specific elastic products.
In any case it is good practice to carefully follow the instructions given by the manufacturers of the various products used.
