RECOMMENDATIONS:
When covering uneven surfaces, the use of Underlayment is recommended as a smoothing coat prior to tile application.
Existing expansion joints should be maintained through the overlay and treated in a manner so as not to interfere with the existing joints.
On new construction, attention to the details and elevations and transitions is critical. Consult manufacturer for specific details.
The use of a latex modified mortar (ANSI A118.4) or acrylic admix such as Mer-Krete 150 Acrylic Latex is highly recommended for setting all ceramic and stone tiles to ensure compatibility.
