About this product
A liquid membrane under tile in wet areas. Tile after 6 to 8 hours, but wait 48 hours before flood testing.
Using this specific product
Sika SikaTile-110 SecureProof is listed here as the Liquid waterproofing membrane version for wet areas and shower floors. For grouting tile, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Liquid waterproofing membrane; related versions can use different timing.
- For wet areas and shower floors, pay particular attention to joint depth, water ratio, cleanup and room conditions.
- At 23°C and 50% humidity. Apply between 5 and 35°C.
How to check readiness
Inspect shaded joints and verify the stated water or traffic milestone. Before recoating, confirm the first coat matches the manufacturer’s stated condition; if the maximum window passed, check whether sanding is required. The sheet gives tiling 6 to 8 hours after the final coat. The sheet gives a flood test at 48 hours.
Avoid this mistake
Color change alone does not prove the joint is ready for immersion.
