How to use DUSH PINNACLE.
Follow these steps for best results.
Add DUSH PINNACLE powder to clean water and mix to a smooth, uniform consistency. Allow to slake for 5 minutes.
Spread onto the substrate with a notched trowel. For ceiling applications, also back-butter each tile for maximum contact.
Press tiles firmly into position. For ceilings, use temporary supports. Allow 24 hours before grouting or loading.
Pro tips & common mistakes.
Do This
- Always back-butter large marble slabs for 100% contact coverage
- Check substrate flatness with a straight edge before starting
- Mix powder adhesive with clean water only — never with additives unless specified
- Maintain a joint of at least 3mm around room perimeters for expansion
- Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place off the floor
Avoid This
- Apply adhesive to a substrate with standing water or visible dampness
- Use a trowel notch that is too small for the tile size
- Set tiles into adhesive that has already begun to skin over
- Allow adhesive to freeze on the substrate or on the tile during curing
- Ignore the open time — always work within the declared window

Different surfaces impose different stress loads — gravity pulls tiles on walls, while foot traffic compresses floor tiles. Separate products are traditionally formulated for these conditions, but products like DUSH PINNACLE are engineered to handle a range of indoor applications with one consistent, reliable specification.

Choose grey cement adhesive when bonding dark tiles, engineered stone or applications where joint colour is not critical. White cement adhesive is required for all light-coloured, white and cream marble where grey bleed-through at joints and edges would be visible and unacceptable.
