use and maintenance of the product!
5.1 Painting
Painting can take place the day after installation. Use waterbased
paint. If you prefer a little surface texture, a little tile cement may
be mixed into the paint.
5.2 Minor damage
Once the insert has been installed you should fill in any nicks
or irregularities in the concrete. You can use the accompanying
cement filler.
1. In order to achieve the best result the surround should be
rubbed down with fine sandpaper, smoothing any unevenness
or sharp edges prior to painting.
2. Then apply one coat.
3. Mix the powder (cement filler) with water to form a smooth
paste (like toothpaste).
4. Smooth away any unevenness, allow to dry and rub down
with fine sandpaper.
5. If the hole is deep, we recommend that the filler be applied in
two stages to prevent it sinking.
6. Apply a second coat of the desired colour.
5.3 Cracks
In some instances, small cracks may appear at the joints after a
few months' use due to settling of the building. These cracks can
be easily repaired:
• Open up the crack with a tool, e.g. a screwdriver, to create more
room for the grouting cement.
• First remove any dust using a vacuum cleaner. Then inject
some acrylic grout, and smooth it off using a wet, soapy
fingertip.
• After a couple of days the joint can be repainted.
