Manual and important points of attention for the Staenis grid:
Tileable insulation screed
Processing temperature
Only place insulation screed at temperatures between 10°C and 20°C, this ensures that the insulation screed will not silt up or come loose. Also make sure that the insulation screed feels fresh/cold when placed or that the ambient temperature does not fall below 5°C.
Placement method
- Pre-installed: Place all Staenis grids in the space - Ddjust all Staenis grids to the correct height - Fill the Staenis grid with tileable insulation screed - Flatten the tileable insulation screed on top of the grid - Check the height of the grid - Repeat until the entire room is finished is.
* Tileable insulation screed is so light that you can easily walk with a filled tub of tileable insulation screed over the grid and pour it into the Staenis grid.
Placement of the Staenis grid
- Place the grids by clicking slats and legs together.
- Shorten the battens on the wall by sawing or grinding them. The maximum distance from the grid to the wall is 5 cm.
- When connecting to the wall, you can click the legs sideways into the slat to stabilise the grid. A 3rd type of click connection can be seen on both ends of the slat. This allows you to connect two slats with a side leg, by means of a slat. Note that the bar will only click in one direction.
- Use a screwdriver to adjust the Staenis grid up and down by turning the adjusting screw to the left or right.
Hoogteregeling
You can achieve the best flatness with a laser that corresponds to a line on a wooden tool / lath or folding rule. Of you use a digital receiver, the insulation screed will in any case cause differences in height of a few mm. A digital spirit level is also not recommended. Try to use a digital receiver or spirit level only to set out a number of points, in order to adjust everything in between by means of a vertical adjustment, tensioned rope or aluminium rule.
Accuracy
We ask you to pay close attention to the height adjustment during installation and to regularly check the flatness with a long aluminium rule or laser.
Installing tileable insulation screed
- Place the Staenis grid and adjust it to the correct height with a screwdriver.
- Mix the ready-to-use tileable insulation screed from bags with water and pour into the grid.
- Take a long screeding iron or aluminium rule, hold it slightly at an angle and drag all of the excess tileable insulation screed off the grid. This means that it is now at the same height as the top surface of the grid.
- Check and correct each square for flatness to avoid cavities in the grid.
- After a few days, sand it flat on the Staenis grid, using a sanding cloth and a long rule. Vacuum up all the dust with a vacuum cleaner and fix the surface with a primer for absorbent surfaces. This floor can be covered after 3 to 4 days, provided that the levelling layer or tile adhesive is placed at the same height as the top of the grid. Protect the surface if you do not finish it immediately.
