How to prepare my surface for Smart Tiles installation?Updated a month ago
To ensure successful installation, it is imperative that Smart Tiles are applied to a smooth, even, clean, and dry surface. For cleaning the surface, make sure to use a degreasing product (sodium bicarbonate for example). We do not recommend using dish soap, which could leave a slight greasy film on your wall and compromise the adhesion of Smart Tiles.
If your surface is not smooth and/or even, you need to properly prepare the surface you will be working on. First, make sure to fill in any gaps between panels using plaster to achieve a surface that promotes optimal adhesion.
Next, apply a coat of primer to the entire prepared surface. Let the primer dry for 72 hours to allow for perfect bonding of the coating. If you prefer to use paint instead of primer, make sure to wait for 21 days to ensure complete drying before proceeding with installation.
By following these preparation steps, you ensure an ideal surface for your Smart Tiles.
