Cement-based powder adhesive — requires mixing before use. Add water on site and mix mechanically before applying. Need to grout the same day? See Setaflex Rapid Set S1 — walk on and grout after just 3 hours.
Setaflex Standard Set S1 is Kerakoll's standard-setting deformable mineral adhesive for porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone. Classified C2 TE S1, it offers a generous 3–4 hour pot life and a 60-minute open time — making it well suited to larger installations, complex set-outs, and any job where working time matters more than a fast return to service. S1 flexibility means it accommodates the natural movement of substrates including underfloor heating systems, timber floors and calcium sulphate screeds. Suitable for floors and walls, internal and external, including terraces, balconies and swimming pools.

How to mix and apply this adhesive Priming · mixing · setting out · fixing · grouting
Mixing & preparation
1
Prepare the substrate. Surfaces must be level, cured, undamaged, compact, rigid and dry. Remove dust, grease and any debonding agents.
Anhydrite screeds: residual humidity ≤ 0.5 CM-%. Cement screeds: ≤ 2 CM-%. With underfloor heating: anhydrite ≤ 0.3 CM-%.
2
Prime the substrate. Porous substrates (cement render, plasterboard, brick, screeds): Primeplus diluted 3:1, coverage ≈ 40 m²/kg. Anhydrite: 1st coat 3:1, 2nd coat undiluted at 8 m²/kg. Existing tiles, timber, metal, PVC: Prime+ Grip undiluted at 10 m²/kg. Allow primer to dry fully before tiling.
3
Underfloor heating. Commission and test the system fully before tiling. Set to a maximum of 15°C during installation and for 7 days after. Then increase at 5°C per day to operating temperature.
Do not exceed 15°C during installation.
4
Mix. Add powder gradually to ≈ 4.4–4.6 litres of clean water per 20 kg bag. Mix mechanically until smooth with no lumps. Do not remix once the adhesive begins to set.
Pot life ≈ 3–4 hours at 23°C — mix only what you can use within this time.
5
Set out. Mark a horizontal datum line and the vertical centre before mixing. Dry-lay tiles to check cut sizes at edges.
Fixing & finishing
6
Apply adhesive in sections of approx. 1 m² using a notched trowel. Comb in one direction.
6mm notch for wall tiles. 10–12mm notch for floor tiles and large formats.
Do not fix tiles once a skin has formed on the adhesive surface.
7
Solid bed for floors and exterior. Butter the back of each tile as well as the substrate. Minimum coverage: 65–70% on dry internal walls, 100% on floors, wet areas and all external surfaces.
8
Fix tiles. Press firmly with a twisting action and tap level. Adjust within the open time. Remove surplus adhesive from joints and tile faces promptly with a damp cloth.
9
Movement joints. Leave at all perimeters, internal corners and changes of material. Internal without UFH: every 100 m². With UFH: every 40 m². External: every 10 m². Fill with silicone sealant, not grout.
10
Grout. Allow ≈ 24 hours before grouting on both floors and walls at 23°C. Use silicone at all junctions and movement joints.
Swimming pools: wait 7 days before filling.
Need to grout sooner? Use Setaflex Rapid Set S1 — grout after 3 hours.
