- Coverage
Coverage will vary with condition of substrate. Required trowel size will vary with the tile size, type and substrate uniformity. Select the trowel size that will ensure 100% coverage. Figures below are presented only as guidelines.

(2.6-3.0 m2)- Suitable Substrates and Substrates Preparation
When properly prepared per TCNA guidelines, suitable substrates include:
- Cured concrete, cured mortar beds, brick and masonry (interior and exterior installations)
- APA Grade Trademarked Exposure 1 Plywood (underlayment grade or better)
- Gypsum wallboard (dry interior wall areas only)
- Water resistant gypsum wallboard (i.e.: greenboard, interior walls only, dry to intermittent water exposure only)
- Cementitious backer units (CBU) or glass mat backerboard
- Existing ceramic tile and natural stone, provided existing flooring is well-bonded to an approved substrate
- Vinyl composition tile, asphalt tile, linoleum, or non-cushioned vinyl sheetgoods provided such surfaces are single layered, well-bonded to an approved substrate and properly prepared
- Adhesive residue (except tacky or pressure-sensitive adhesive). Mechanically remove the adhesive to expose at least 80% of the concrete surface. Random specks of adhesive and the appearance of a brown surface stain are acceptable
- Extruded foam waterproof tile board
- Uncoupling membranes
H.B. Fuller Construction Products Inc. ("HBF-CP") will warrant TotalFlex 110 with the use of ¾" floor-rated underlayment OSB as an approved substrate for the installation of uncoupling membranes. For gypsum underlayments, TEC® Multipurpose Primer must be applied directly to the gypsum underlayments prior to application of TotalFlex 110 for bonding of the uncoupling membrane.
Substrate Preparation
All substrates must be dry, structurally sound with maximum deflection per industry standards of L/360 for ceramic tile installations and L/720 for natural stone installations; and free from oil, grease, dust, paint, sealers or concrete curing compounds. All contaminants must be removed prior to installation of tile. Surface protrusions and tile glazes shall be removed by sanding, scraping or scarifying. After preparation, remove all dust by vacuuming. For gauged porcelain panels installation.Notes: Vinyl asbestos tile or any substrate containing asbestos must not be sanded, scored or scarified because of the potential health hazard of breathing dust. Any substrate containing asbestos must be handled in accordance with existing EPA regulations. Contact your local EPA office. Expansion joints must be provided in the tile work over all construction, control and expansion joints in the backing and where backing materials change. Follow ANSI A108.01 Section 3.7 Requirements for Expansion Joints. Maximum variations in all substrates must not exceed 1/4" in 10 ft. (6 mm in 3 m) and 1/16" in 1 ft. (1.6 mm in 0.3 m) from the required plane for tile less than 15" (381 mm) on all sides. Maximum variations in all substrates must not exceed 1/8" in 10 ft. (3 mm in 3 m) and 1/16" in 2 ft. (1.6 mm in 0.6 m) from the required plane for tile 15" (381 mm) or greater on any one side. For large non-level, interior floors use a TEC Level Set® Self-Leveling Underlayment. For best results over plywood and other suitable porous substrates, wipe the surface clean with a damp sponge just prior to application of mortar.
- Limitations Information
- Glass tile may not be suitable over some substrates (such as plywood, or some membranes). Verify substrate with glass tile manufacturer.
- Use only for thin-bed installation of glass tile.
- Only install when the ambient temperature is between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC).
- Not for installing green marble or other moisture-sensitive stone tile; use AccuColor EFX® Epoxy Grout and Mortar.
- Not for use over rubber, strip wood floors, oriented strand board(Can be used over OSB with the use of 3/4" floor-rated underlayment OSB as an approved substrate for the installation
- of uncoupling membranes), particle board, lauan plywood or tempered hardboard (e.g. Masonite).
- Only approved for use over single layer wood floors when using uncoupling membranes per the manufacturer's requirements.
- Temperature of area to be tiled must remain above 50°F (10°C) for 72 hours.
- Certain natural stone tiles may be affected by mortar shadowing or staining. Test a small area prior to use to determine suitability.
