SCHLUTER ALL-SET

1 INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CERAMIC AND STONE TILEMODIFIED THIN-SET MORTAR SCHLUTER ALL-SET SCHLUTER ALL-SET Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, easy to maintain, and hygienic, representing the ideal surface coverings. However, the performance of any surface covering depends on the installation method and materials used. SCHLUTER -Systems offers a variety of systems for tile installation, including uncoupling and waterproofing membranes, shower systems, and building panels. SCHLUTER setting materials are specifically formulated for use with these systems to help ensure successful tile installations in a wide range of applications. Application and FunctionSchluter ALL-SET is a specialized, modified thin-set mortar for use as a bond coat within tile assemblies that is optimized for use with SCHLUTER membranes and boards.

2 SCHLUTER ALL-SET is smooth and creamy, as well as easy to handle and spread. It is sag-resistant and ideal for setting tile on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. SCHLUTER ALL-SET is suitable for use with ceramic, porcelain, and stone tile, including large and heavy tile, in conjunction with SCHLUTER -Systems uncoupling and waterproofing membranes ( , DITRA, DITRA-HEAT, KERDI, etc.), the SCHLUTER -Shower System, and KERDI-BOARD. SCHLUTER ALL-SET can be used in both interior and exterior systems and is available in both grey and Properties and Areas of ApplicationSchluter ALL-SET is a mixture of cement , sand, polymer and additives that sets and gains strength through cement hydration and polymer film formation when mixed with water.

3 It is engineered for use with SCHLUTER membranes and boards, including tile installation. SCHLUTER ALL-SET is formulated to set and gain strength in a timeframe that fits typical installation practice even when sandwiched between impervious substrates and porcelain tile. SCHLUTER ALL-SET is available in grey and white . Use the white version for applications where the color of the mortar affects the aesthetics of the installation ( , light colored or translucent stone tile, light colored grout). SCHLUTER ALL-SET meets or exceeds the American National Standard Specifications for Modified Dry-Set cement Mortar, ANSI , the American National Standard Specifications for Improved Modified Dry-Set cement Mortar, ANSI , and the American National Standard Specifications for Exterior Glue Plywood Latex-Portland cement Mortar, ALL-SET was evaluated according to the "Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions from Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers, version " for California Specification 01350 and found to comply with the VOC requirements.

6 Follow gypsum manufacturer s directions for additional substrate clean, potable water into a clean pail. Slowly add powder while beginning to mix. For installing SCHLUTER membranes, use - qts ( - L) of water to 50 lbs ( kg) of mortar. For installation of tile, use - qts ( - L) of water to 50 lbs ( kg) of mortar. Mix at a slow speed (<300 rpm) for 5 minutes. Let the mixture slake for 10 minutes then remix at a slow speed (<300 rpm) for an additional 3 minutes. Following this procedure will produce the best workability and help ensure maximum open time and pot life. To install SCHLUTER membranes the mortar should be mixed to a fairly fluid consistency, but still able to hold a notch.

7 Do not add more water after substrate:1. Apply a thin layer of the mortar with the flat side of the trowel to produce solid contact with the substrate. 2. Using an appropriate sized notched trowel, comb additional mortar using the notched side of the trowel. Mortar ridges should run in one a. SCHLUTER -DITRA family of uncoupling membranes: solidly embed into the mortar using a float, screed trowel, or SCHLUTER -DITRA-ROLLER. When using DITRA-ROLLER, place a weight ( , bag(s) of mortar/grout or box of tile) not to exceed 75 lbs (34 kg) on the DITRA-ROLLER shelf. Slowly move the roller from one end 800-667-8746 (Canada) or by e-mail at to receive a copy of the appropriate SCHLUTER Installation Handbook for your application and a step-by-step installation video.

Tenting of working area may be necessary to shade the surfaces from direct sunlight and/or rain. Direct sunlight or high temperatures may cause flash setting or skinning of the mortar. If an installation is to be completed in cold temperatures, the space must be heated before, during and after the installation to ensure proper curing of the mortar. Combustion heaters must be vented for carbon monoxide Preparation The substrate must be clean, even, and load bearing.

9 Any leveling of the subfloor must be done prior to application of SCHLUTER ALL-SET . For concrete substrates, remove any waxy or oily films and curing compounds (if present) by mechanical scarification (take steps to not breathe in any residual dust). When bonding to particularly dry, porous concrete, the slab should be moistened to saturate the concrete and help prevent premature drying or skinning of the bond coat. Excess or standing surface water must be removed prior to installation. For gypsum substrates, residual moisture in gypsum screed must be Limitations Particle board, luan, Masonite , hardwood floors, and dimension lumber are not suitable substrates for tile applications.

10 SCHLUTER ALL-SET is not designed to level floors. Any leveling or sloping of the assembly must be done with an appropriate substrate preparation material, such as Portland cement mortar, self-leveling underlayment, etc. Tile coverings are not inherently waterproof. See the SCHLUTER -Shower System Installation Handbook or the SCHLUTER -Systems Waterproofing Membranes Technical Data Sheet for details on how to create a waterproof assembly for your application. Type, thickness, and format of the tile or stone surface covering must be suitable for the intended application. Moisture-sensitive stones ( , green marble) and resin-backed tiles may require special setting materials.
