XL-ent floor tiling with new BAL XL Floor One B
AL – market-leaders in full tiling solutions – have launched a new and improved flexible thick-bed tile adhesive for large format floor tiles. Replacing BAL Pourable One on its range, BAL XL Floor One is a significant upgrade with XL-ent extended open time and XL-ent working time – taking some of the stress out of large format floor tiling.
Extended open and working times of the gel rheology of XL Floor One mean the adhesive remains wetter,
smoother
and creamier for longer – making for XL-ent workability.
BAL XL Floor One is easy to work with and apply and with an extended pot life of 90 minutes and open time of 60 minutes, fixers can confidently spread over larger areas for ease – have plenty of time to adjust tiles as they work – and ensure they have no product wasted by going off. A true “overnighter”, BAL XL Floor One can be grouted in 6 hours, ensuring fast track project completion the next day.
Mixed with a reduced water content of just 4 litres per 25 kg bag, BAL XL Floor One

holds its high-gel shape when trowelled with ribs sitting proud even up to 25 mm without any slumping – yet ribs will collapse easily when tiles are vibrated or twisted for solid bed coverage.
Crucially this means that back-buttering is not always required with flat backgrounds and tiles!
If needed, BAL XL Floor One can be built up to 25 mm bed depth for levelling small areas or patch repair – while also making it perfect for uncalibrated natural stone where consistent bed depths can’t always be achieved. With a flexible and strong bond,
BAL XL Floor One is also suitable for laying BAL Rapid-Mat or BAL Flexbone VAried uncoupling mat when spread with a 4 mm notched trowel. Water and frost resistant, and with large bed-depths, BAL XL Floor One is BAL’s recommended
tile adhesive for laying
porcelain, ceramic or natural stone on external concrete beds. Even on tampered concrete, BAL XL Floor One provides excellent coverage for 20 mm porcelain pavers and other external tiles.
