TUSCAN ELITE IDS
Tuscan Elite engineered flooring is the first multiply engineered flooring product to be independently tested and validated for use with underfloor heating.
Many wood flooring brands claim they can be used with underfloor heating, but now Tuscan Elite engineered flooring can prove it, being the first multiply engineered flooring to be independently tested by Exova BM TRADA using common industry protocols and the Contract Flooring Association industry guidelines.
Detailed test data evidenced outstanding performance by Tuscan Elite meaning it can be specified with confidence over water-based systems encased in concrete which is the most popular type of underfloor heating system now installed in the UK. Tuscan Elite flooring is ideal for a range of interior settings including kitchens, living spaces, dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways.
Tuscan Elite engineered flooring offers 24 effects in a choice of fashionable woodgrains, surface textures and board widths. Tuscan is exclusively distributed by IDS and comes with a 25-year residential warranty against manufacturing defect.
The testing procedures confirmed the excellent stability characteristics that Tuscan Elite multiply flooring has when installed as either a floating floor, or full bond stick-down, over encased water piped UFH systems in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and recommendations.
ULTIM8 B NORCROS ADHESIVES
Norcros Adhesives has cracked the problem of tiling onto bitumen and asphalt substrates with the latest addition to its Ultim8 family of ready- mixed tiling adhesives.
The company has developed Ultim8 B+ specifically to enable easy and rapid tiling on to bitumen or asphalt surfaces or surfaces coated with contact adhesive residues. Up until now this has only been possible after carrying out a messy and tedious scabbling process to remove all traces of the asphalt and bitumen.
This is particularly an issue in refurbishment projects, where it may be desired to tile over an old bitumen or asphalt surface. These are often found on floors where old vinyl tiles have been removed and on balconies, and the complications involved can greatly add to the difficulties of tiling in such areas. Bitumen surfaces are also encountered in new build, particularly in cellars, where bitumen damp proof membranes are often installed.
Ultim8 B+ is now by far the most straightforward solution for tiling in such circumstances, whether interior or exterior.
The product operates as a system in which the installer firstly fixes Norcros 6mm Pro Board to the bitumen or asphalt surface using Ultim8 B+, a procedure which requires minimal preparation. The installer can then fix ceramic, porcelain or natural stone tiles to the surface of the board, using a cement-based tile adhesive, for internal or external use as appropriate.
