TILE FIXING SYSTEMS

The right tiling can transform your home

The range of tile offered in the market today are endless and will only continue to increase. Tile options range from ceramic , vitrified, glass mosaics, natural stones like marble and granite. The options in terms of sizes are also increasing and larger format tiles are also becoming popular.

The present penetration of tile adhesives in the market is limited to less than 10% today and BPS is of the view that this will increase exponentially in the years ahead. With this in mind, we have the following solutions developed

 

The present issues with the conventional system are listed below.

 

INCONVENIENCE TO WORK WITH

•Sourcing of huge quantity of cement

•Tiles and substrate to be saturated a day before tiling

 

TIME CONSUMING & LABOUR INTENSIVE

•To lay tiles with sand-cement traditional way is to apply the mixture of sand-cement in a lump on tiles' back so it has to be done with one tile at a time.

 

LOW DURABILITY

•Low adjustability to tiles as cement has a very low pot life

•Poor bonding strength leads to debonding of tiles hence damaging the aesthetics.

 

HIGH WASTAGE

•Low pot life leads to material wastage since the mix dries faster than the application

In order to overcome these obstacles, we propose the following solutions - Tile Underlay Systems

 

BASF has developed tile underlay systems that can be laid on the mother lab to have a surface ready to receive the tile adhesive.

The two products are Master Top 518 and Master Top 528

Usage of the above systems would result in the following benefits

 

 

EASE OF USAGE

•Minimal substrate preparation required

•Tiles don’t need to be soaked, just unbox and lay.

 

FASTER COMPLETION OF WORK

•The entire bag of 25kg can be mixed at once

•High open time makes adjustability easy

 

100% COVERAGE

•Full contact of the adhesive on the tile provides strong adhesion

 

UNIQUE SOLUTION

•Varied applications such as glass mosaics, large-size to lay tiles on polished substrates, on dry wall system, on existing tiles etc.

 

The above solutions are supported by a wide range of tile grouts.
