OkaQuiet for Tiles
Universal Backer Board replacement, Uncoupling and Sound Deadening Board
- Excellent uncoupling and sound deadening properties
- Weighted, tension-free, thus creating an even and smooth substrate for tiling
- For the interior, floor and wall applications and wet areas, e.g., in apartments, houses, or hotel rooms outside of the shower and tub surround areas
- Only 5/32" (4 mm) thin
- No echoing sound, full mortar transfer under and over, full tile support
- Increased walking and living comfort
- Easy to mark on and see chalk lines for your convenience
- Approx. 30 % in mortar savings (no pre-floating of "waffles") compared to other existing uncoupling membranes
- Insulating properties
- Over existing radiant heated floors
- Under heated cables, heating mats
- For large format tiles
- Glue down engineered wood and resilient flooring
- Will not deteriorate
- Flexible and sturdy
- Easy to install
- Can be cut, scored, sawn
- VOC-free and environmentally safe
- Reduces step sound by 10 dB according to DIN and EN ISO 10140
Synthetic resin-bonded, stable and highly compressed, approx. 4 mm / 5/32 thin with blended recycled synthetic fibre board for uncoupling and sound deadening substrates installed with suitable resilient, textile covering, engineered and hardwood flooring. As an insulating intermediate layer in renovation work and on poorly insulated substrates in old and new buildings. Increases living and walking comfort at low installation heights. OkaQuiet is water resistant and will not deteriorate.
The substrate must be sound, clean and stable. Level uneven substrates with Servoplan Ki 1 (add Kiesel fibres over wooden substrates, OSB, Plywood) or Servocret RS underlayment before installing the insulating board. Use Servoplan Ki 1 and Kiesel fibres if the substrates are not dimensional stable (OSB Board, plywood).
Concrete, cementitious substrates prime with Okatmos® UG 30 or Okatmos® DSG following the latest Kiesel TDS.
Verify that subfloor panels are sound and correctly fastened to framing joist members any levelling of the subfloor must be done before installing Oka Quiet Uncoupling Board. However, where levelling is required over OkaQuiet, it cannot exceed 3/8". Use Servoplan Ki 1 with Kiesel fibres over OkaQuiet.
Wood composite substrates (OSB, plywood) prime with Okatmos® UG 30 or Okatmos® DSG and/or Okapox GF per Kiesel TDS. Wet areas, for example, bathrooms, washrooms with nominal moisture content, and waterproofing membranes, may be required. Use Okamul DF, Servoflex DMS 1K Plus SuperTec.
Double layered plywood substrates must be dry, APA-rated, Type 1, COFI Group exterior-grade plywood, certified CANPLY (SELECT) or (SEL-TF) CSA 121, minimum 32 mm (1 ¼ ") total thickness in residential and light commercial and dry conditions only. Refer to ANSI A 108 AN-2 "General Requirements for Sub surfaces" and the Tile Council of North America's "Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation" for detailed information on surface preparation and guidelines for substrate construction.
Follow deflection allowance in accordance with ASTM C627 Standard test method. In some cases, the maximum deflection must not exceed L/720.
Dry lay OkaQuiet uncoupling boards loosely staggering, offsetting it by 50% in a brick pattern connecting joints so that they fit tightly, ensuring that the panels do not peak when being butted together. Keep the OkaQuiet 5mm / 3/16” away from the wall or columns. Use of the Kiesel edge strip is recommended for this purpose, especially when installing tiles that require sound-deadening solutions. Cut or saw the board with a circular saw, jig saw or heavy-duty utility knife. Remove the farthest section from your exit and install the OkaQuiet section by section leading to the exit. Use either Servoflex 5 royal, Servoflex-Trio-schnell SuperTec (Quick set), or Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec by using a 6 mm square notched trowel (1/4 "x ¼ "x ¼ ") providing full mortar transfer. Lift boards occasionally check for proper coverage. Insert boards within approx. 15 - 20 minutes and press firmly. Use a flat trowel, grout float or weighted rollers (50 to 75 lbs. of weight) to press the OkaQuiet board into the mortar bed. Avoid entrapping air underneath OkaQuiet. Remove any mortar excess from the bords surface. Begin with tile installation after 12 hours of dry time*.
Leave (5 - 7 mm or /1 "- / “) gaps around the outside border line of OkaQuiet, making sure not to bond the OkaQuiet board to perimeter walls. Use Kiesel edge strip for this purpose and cut the strip excess only after grouting is completed.
When using OkaQuiet as sound deadening, apply generic masking tape (3/4") to all connecting seams to prevent mortar to mortar bond from preventing sound transmission into the coverings.
Install coverings with a thin bed mortar such as Servoflex 5 royal, Servoflex-Trio-schnell SuperTec (Quick set), Servoflex-Trio-SuperTec Full mortar transfer is required.
Proceed with tile installation providing proper mortar transfer underneath tiles. Grouting can begin approx. 12 hours after tile installation (* check drying table). Use Servoperl royal or Okapox royal as grout.
