How thick should the Aqua Base layer be?
Updated: 15.07.2026
✓
The layer should be thin and continuous; its thickness depends on flatness and reinforcement.
Detailed answer
Apply Aqua Base with a stainless steel trowel in a thin layer, pressing it firmly into the substrate. The correct thickness is determined by the granularity of the material, typically up to 1 mm. For the reinforcement layer or old tiles, two layers may be necessary. On floors, it is advisable to allow the layer to cure longer before the next step, usually until the next day. The thickness of the layer is determined by the granularity of the screed, generally up to 1 mm.
Common mistakes
- applying a thick layer instead of a thin smear to the grain
- sanding without thorough dust extraction
- rushing between layers and not respecting drying times
