Our Ancillary Products: Adhesives

Share

We talk about our tile ranges a lot in our blogs, however, at Tile and Stone Gallery we offer a lot more than just tiles. Recently we have spoken about the Underfloor Heating Mats we offer, however, we’re starting a new blog series that will cover a number of products on our ancillaries page.

Today we’ll be discussing our adhesives, both our ready-mixed adhesives and our powder adhesives. All of the products below are backed up by BAL’s industry-leading 25-year guarantee. Simply no other manufacturer offers anything like this and there is a reason for that – they’re the best!

Ready Mixed Adhesives

Used for smaller format ceramics, ready mixed adhesives are a convenient and efficient way to stick your tiles in place (as a general rule if the tile is smaller than the lid of the tub you can use a ready mixed adhesive – if not, use a powder adhesive). We stock a number of different ready-mixed adhesives, however, there are two customer favourites when it comes to your tiles:

Whitestar

Newly formulated with advanced Fibre Strand Technology, the BAL Whitestar adhesive is perfect for securing tiles to your walls. The highly flexible and non-slip adhesive is water-resistant and suitable for fixing ceramics, mosaics and porcelain tiles – it can even be used on natural stone in both dry or wet interior environments.

Greenstar

Like the Whitestar, our BAL Greenstar is ready to use and easy to apply to walls for fixing ceramics, mosaics and natural stone. The Greenstar product can also be used for domestic areas including showers, kitchens and bathrooms, offering an extended open time of 30 mins and will be ready to be grouted after just 24 hours.

Powder Adhesives

Used for larger format and porcelain tiles, powder adhesives offer a stronger bond between the tile and its surface. There are a number of different powder adhesives to choose from, however, we believe there are two standouts:

Flex One

BAL Flex One is one of the best adhesives out there if you’re looking for a long open and working time. This product has excellent non-slip properties and can be grouted in as little as six hours. We would particularly recommend the Flex One adhesive for large format tiles, areas of total immersion, heated screeds, or areas subject to movement and vibration.

Rapid-Flex One

Enhanced with Fibre Strand Technology for improved flexibility and strength, BAL Rapid-Flex One can be grouted after just three hours whilst boasting an extended open time of up to 30 minutes. The Rapid-Flex One can be used on both interior and exterior floors and walls to fix; most tile types, most natural stone, terrazzo, and brick slips. What’s more BAL Rapid-Flex One has a smoother consistency for easier mixing and application, which we think is ideal for large format thin porcelain tiles.
