WHAT’S NEW?


even without the need to back butter, giving fixers confidence of a solid bed - first time, every time – and saving on the timely and laborious need to check coverage beneath every tile.


EASY FLOOR TILING WITH


BAL POURABLE ONE BAL Pourable One floor tile adhesive is perfect for fixing natural stone and large-format ceramics, porcelain and terrazzo.


As with the entire ‘One’ range of BAL enhanced tile adhesives, BAL Pourable One is available as just a white adhesive, meaning that only one bag is needed, making it the perfect solution for floor tile installations of most tile types.


Suitable for internal or external use and dry or wet environments, BAL Pourable One can be grouted in only three hours for fast-track installations. As it uses less water in the mix, it is recommended for stone and tiles that are water-sensitive – such as limestone and marble.


LTP WELCOMES BACK


AN OLD FRIEND LTP has welcomed back Emma Lock to its sales team.


Emma, who previously worked for the company for 11 years, will work alongside Mark Atkins, supporting customers and the British-made brand throughout London and the South East region.


Since moving from LTP in spring 2016, Emma has worked with Trade Price Stone, Sarsen Stone Group and, most recently, Devon Stone Ltd. A vibrant ‘people person’ with a great love of the industry, Emma is looking forward to a new chapter, rekindling and building new relationships with

It is also highly flexible, meaning it can be used on key installations, including underfloor and undertile heating, plus installations subject to limited movement and vibrations – such as highly-trafficked areas including shopping centres, car showrooms and airports.


BAL Pourable One has a smooth rheology, making it easy to mix in the bucket, easy to apply – by simply pouring it out onto the floor - and then smooth and easy to spread.


With a pot life of 45 minutes before it goes off in the bucket it allows plenty of time to fix and spread large mixes, to reduce both waste of materials and speed up the installation time.


Because of its fluid formulation, as well as being trowelled easily, 100% coverage can easily be achieved


LTP customers, and supporting the brand’s growing product range.


Richard Osborne, LTP’s Managing Director, explained: “Despite having moved onto pastures new three years ago, many of our customers still ask after Emma – so, we’re delighted to announce that she’s back!


“Emma’s role will be to work alongside Mark Atkins supporting our existing customers, as well as developing new markets for LTP.


“Emma’s vast experience of the stone and tile industry, her existing knowledge of sealing and cleaning issues, and her enthusiasm and energy all combined make this appointment one of the easiest we’ve had to make!”

Thixotropic in nature, BAL Pourable One holds its shape once tiles are laid, meaning you can add more adhesive under a tile to build it up without moving neighbouring tiles. The adhesive ribs will maintain their shape and height until small movement and vibration is applied to the tile, with any excess adhesive being forced up through the grout joints and easily wiped away.


A key benefit of the product is its suitability to be used at 25mm bed depth in one application, making it ideal for patch repair and for use with uncalibrated stone or uneven floors. BAL Pourable One can also be used similarly on uneven floor substrates up to 25mm depth (recommended maximum of ½m² areas) without the need for a separate leveller – meaning you can use just an adhesive and save on the leveller.


The perfect adhesive for floor tiling, BAL Pourable One makes the job of large-format tiling easier and quicker. Working smarter and faster means more pounds in the back pocket of the fixer.
