Plasterable: to be placed between 2 layers of plaster
Saves time: no reinforcement for plasterwork needed
Clean transition between vapor barrier and plasterwork
Reliable connection: reinforcement mesh increases the stability of the adjacent surface to be plastered
Building according to standards: for airtight connections in accordance with DIN 4108 7, RE 2020, and SIA 180

Installer benefits

Always applicable regardless of the substrate. So also for connections with uneven, rough, moist surfaces to be plastered
Simple and self-evident processing for the window installer and plasterer

Applications

Airtight and vapor-retardant connection of windows and doors with plasterable reveals in the window opening
Airtight connection of airtight membranes, vapor barriers with a wall to be plastered

Installation steps

1. First stick the tape to the membrane

Clean the subsurface, brush off if necessary.

Stick the CONTEGA PV plaster-sealing tape with self-adhesive strips onto the membrane, and rub firmly to secure the adhesive bond (PRESSFIX). Fold back the tape and apply ORCON F to the wall at discrete points to secure the layer of CONTEGA PV (e ~10-20 cm). Leave slack for expansion so as to allow for relative motion between components. If necessary, cut back the vapour control membrane so that the CONTEGA fleece can be plastered in place.

Tip:

Nails can be driven into the stone on soft subsurfaces such as aerated concrete, pumice or cavity blocks; they can be driven into the masonry joints in the case of hard stone.

2. Alternative: First stick the tape to the wall

The self-adhesive strip of the adhesive sealant tape should be facing into the room. Apply adhesive to the wall at discrete points to secure the layer. Guide the vapour control into position. Remove the release film from CONTEGA PV and stick the vapour control membrane to the tape. Rub firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure, and allow slack for expansion.

3. Plaster the fleece in place

The interior plasterer can then embed CONTEGA PV into the middle of the layer of plaster: First plaster behind the tape, then apply the tape to the wet plasterwork and plaster over it fully. To achieve effective airtight joints, the plaster must cover over at least 1 cm of the white, airtight fleece. Gypsum plasters have very good adhesion on the CONTEGA PV fleece. Use a bonding bridge (reinforcing mortar) in the case of calciferous plaster.

General conditions

The bonds should not be subjected to tensile strain. Rub the adhesive tapes firmly to secure the adhesive bonds. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure. Airtight seals can only be achieved if the sealing tape is installed free of folds and breaks. Ventilate continuously and systematically to prevent build-up of excessive humidity; use a dryer if necessary.

When plastering, please observe the recommendations of the plaster manufacturer for non-absorbent subsurfaces. A bonding course may be necessary. If the airtight connection is created straight after plastering, moisture ingress may occur in the thermal insulation or to problems in the order of construction. CONTEGA PV alleviates this problem.
