6 simple steps to a perfectly bonded stud framework.
Ensure that the surface is clean, free of dust, grease/oil and, above all, stable. In the case of mineral substrates (concrete, plaster, etc.), this can be done by thorough sweeping or vacuuming.
Determine the mounting points and mark them with a chalk line or a laser pointer.
Now cut the profile to the required length, place it next to the marking with the adhesive surface facing upwards and clean it thoroughly with OTTO Cleaner T. Make sure that the surface is dry, free of grease and dust.
Place the V-seam nozzle with the tip pointing upwards at a right angle (90°) to the bonding surface and apply the continuous beads of adhesive at a distance of approx. 2 cm parallel to the profile edge. Please note that one bead is required for a 50 mm wide profile and two beads for a 75-100 mm wide profile.
Turn the profile over within 10 minutes and align it with the marking. Then press it down firmly and evenly.
Tip: A square timber in the U-opening can provide support. Take care to avoid slipping and install the profiles on the ceiling and the connection to the wall in the same way.
Insert the CW profiles perpendicularly without waiting and plank the stud frame as usual.

Bonding offers a fast, clean and reliable alternative to traditional fixing methods in drywall construction. By using certified adhesives, work can be carried out more safely and efficiently, and sound bridges can be avoided. There is also no risk of damaging pipes or cables when drilling, as in our example:
Bonding is possible to many substrates including metal, wood, plaster and concrete - as long as they are clean, dust-free and stable.
Compared to fixing with screws and sound insulation tape, OTTOCOLL® M 560 provides a higher level of sound insulation. We have had this officially tested by PfB GmbH & Co. Prüfzentrum für Bauelemente KG.
