All surfaces shall be dry, smooth and free from voids, dust, oil, loose particles, and sharp protrusions. Concrete must be cured for at least 7 days before priming with an approved high penetration bituminous primer and allowed to dry tack-free before installing Bitulen^® SK17.

All corners shall be covered first with a 150 mm wide strip of Bitulen^® SK17 before proceeding to install the full-width membrane.

After removing the release paper, Bitulen^® SK17 is then pressure bonded to the primed substrate. All laps must be at least 75 mm wide.

For floors, the installation of Bitulen^® SK17 should be continued up the wall to connect with the damp-proof course in the walls. An angle fillet shall also be placed at the junction and covered with a reinforcing strip prior to installing the membrane.

Bitulen^® SK17 requires a protection layer of screed or polystyrene boards for slabs and walls respectively, or any other approved protection layers.
