SOLITEX FRONTA HUMIDA
Installation steps
1. Install the membrane
Roll out the membrane horizontally, align it horizontally and attach it initially in the overlap area in a manner that protects against moisture entry using galvanised staples (type D) that are at least 10 mm (3/8") wide by 8 mm (5/16") long (16 mm (5/8") in the case of wood fibreboards) at separation distances of 10-15 cm (4"-6") (alternatively, use DUPLEX double-sided adhesive tape, pre-treat with TESCON PRIMER). Additional securing with thermally decoupled screw anchors or laths on the wood fibreboard.

2. Apply double-sided adhesive tape
Clean the subsurface (dry and free of dust, silicone and grease), stick DUPLEX double-sided adhesive tape to the lower third of the subsequent overlap in a manner that protects against moisture.
Rub the tape firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX to secure the adhesive bond.
Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

3. Overlap the membranes
Overlap the membranes by approx. 10 cm (4“) so that they are watertight. The printed markings on the membrane serve as a guide here.

4. Stick the overlaps
Gradually remove the release film from DUPLEX and stick the overlapping membrane, ensuring that there are no folds or tension. Rub the tape firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX to secure the adhesive bond. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

5. Alternatively: Taping over the overlaps with TESCON VANA or TESCON INVIS (instead of DUPLEX)
Tape TESCON VANA or TESCON INVIS adhesive tape centrally on the overlap and stick it down bit by bit so that it is load and wrinkle free. Rub the tape firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX to secure the adhesive bond. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

6. Sticking to rough or mineral surfaces (e.g. floorboard)
Clean the surface. Apply a bead of ORCON F system adhesive – at least 5 mm (3/16") thick (more in the case of very rough surfaces).
Apply the membrane, leaving slack to allow for expansion, and do not press the adhesive completely flat to allow for relative motion between components.

7. Sticking to windows
Stick the membrane to the window frame so that it is windtight using TESCON PROFECT. Thanks to the split release paper it is possible to stick the tape first to the membrane and then, subsequently, to the window.

9. Sticking to cables and pipes
Place KAFLEX or ROFLEX sealing grommets over the cable or pipe and stick to the membrane. The cable sleeves are self-adhesive. Tape the pipe grommets to the membrane with TESCON VANA.

10. Seal angular penetrations
Slide the TESCON PROFECT pre-folded corner sealing tape into the corner on the release film and stick the first independent adhesive strip. Then remove the release film and stick the second independent adhesive strip.
