ADHESIVES STICK IT OUT WITH BAL


BAL introduce their Gutjahr System Technology and BAL Level Max, to make floor tiling easier and more versatile for outdoor spaces.


When fixing large format tiles or natural stone onto floors then BAL Stone & Tile PTB tile adhesive provides the perfect fixing solution.


Rapid-setting in only three hours for fast-track fixing, BAL Stone & Tile PTB is flexible making it ideal for key floor installations, including heated screeds or under- tile heating, use in wet areas, or for commercial tiling and external installations.


Available in white and grey, BAL Stone & Tile PTB can be used up to 25 mm bed thickness enabling the bed depth to be varied across the floor during installation to ensure a finished flat surface, making it a perfect adhesive for uncalibrated natural stone such as limestone, marble, travertine and granite. BAL Stone & Tile PTB may even be used for patch repair.


Pourable and with an open time of 20 minutes, the adhesive is easy to work with over larger areas saving on installation time particularly with large format tiles.


RECOMMENDED FOR BALCONIES, TERRACES


AND GROUND TERRACES BAL Stone & Tile PTB is also a recommended tile adhesive for BAL’s new external tiling system – Gutjahr System Technology – which represents innovative drainage systems for terraces, balconies and external ground floors.


A sister company of BAL, Gutjahr are the inventors of the passive capillary surface drainage system. Complete with AquaDrain ® drainage mats, ProFin® edge profiles, AquaDrain® drain grates and ProRin® guttering.


The patented system is simple to install and protects coverings of ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone and pavers from frost damage, staining and water damage as it rapidly sheds any surface water away from the assembly.

As well as protecting against damage, the system can also reduce the weight loading on balconies and roof terraces by utilising thinner assemblies, lighter materials and limiting water absorption and retention, which in turn reduces water loading.


A number of assemblies are on offer from BAL for varying height build-ups, weight considerations and designs including the Thin Drainage Assembly for direct point adhesion for break-proof coverings with, Standard


“THE ADHESIVE IS EASY TO WORK


WITH OVER LARGER AREAS.”


Drainage Screed Assembly for the solid bed fixing of ceramic, porcelain and natural stone and concrete paving, and a Thin, Lighter Weight


Drainage Screed Assembly with an epoxy screed for a strong but comparatively lightweight build-up compared to conventional systems.


The new products represent a complete new range of solutions for the BAL portfolio and work as a system with current BAL preparation, adhesive, grout and sealant products to provide architects, designers and contractors with a true ‘one-stop- shop’ for balconies, terraces and external ground floors


LEVELLING If levelling an uneven floor is required, BAL Level Max is the new multi-purpose innovation from the tiling market-leader. Formulated with innovative Fibre-Strand Technology (FST), BAL Level Max can be used up 80mm bed depth and is suitable for use over a rigid and stable timber at only 3mm.


With 30 minutes pot-life, it provides a longer working time, yet it can be tiled in only four hours at any depth up to 80mm, and can accept carpet and other soft coverings after 24 hours at 20°C when applied at a 3mm depth.


BAL Level Max can reduce overall project costs and duration significantly with easier and faster installation.


Suitable for levelling most backgrounds, BAL Level Max provides superior performance for contractors, with key features including added flexibility and strength, self-smoothing capability, excellent flow and a protein-free formulation.


BAL Level Max is extremely versatile for commercial projects as it is pumpable and achieves excellent coverage of approximately 5m² at 3mm bed depth.
