The application of clay adhesive and reinforcing mortar on clay boards
On the surface, the clay adhesive and reinforcing mortar primarily serves a reinforcing function. Modified with plant starch and cellulose, the reinforcing mortar provides a durable surface even in very thin layers. Alternatively, if at least 1 cm of base coat is applied, a 3 mm layer of reinforcing mortar is also sufficient to create a similarly strong surface. The drying process of such a thin clay layer is naturally much faster. As a result, the overall construction progress is significantly quicker.
For clay construction boards, usually only the joints are filled with the reinforcing mortar. The reinforcing mesh is then fully embedded using the same clay adhesive and reinforcing mortar (LKA). The finished surface is typically finished with a fine plaster or topcoat.
Clay construction boards can also be bonded to a stable substrate. For this, only a comb trowel application of the adhesive mortar is required.Lehmbauplatten können auch auf einen tragfähigen Untergrund geklebt werden. Hierfür wird lediglich eine Kammspachtelung mit dem Klebemörtel vorgenommen.
