slip bonding agents. The bonding agents used were tested to provide a load value, which delivers further comfort to the market. The tests provided results that exceed two tonnes per square metre. This kind of strength is equivalent to comfortably hanging an average family car off each square metre of wall. James Ormerod, managing director
