Revolutionary water-mix levelling compound
Setcrete Level-Smart represents the next generation of floor levelling compounds. It is a high-performance, fast-setting, fast-drying, water-mix levelling compound for smoothing flooring screeds where old adhesive residues are present. It is recommended for use in flooring refurbishments and projects that face tight time constraints or when a fast-track, time-saving option is
simply preferred, without compromising on quality. Setcrete Level-Smart can be applied over old adhesive residues, including bitumen, carpet tile tackifiers and ceramic tile adhesives, eliminating the need for mechanical removal, which would normally be required. In such applications, there is no need to prime beforehand, saving further time and expense.

www.hbdonline.co.uk XL-ent fl oor tiling with new BAL XL Floor One B
AL – market-leaders in full tiling solutions – have launched a new and improved fl exible thick-bed tile adhesive for large
format fl oor tiles. Replacing BAL Pourable One on its range, BAL XL Floor One is a signifi cant upgrade with XL-ent extended open time and XL-ent working time – taking some of the stress out of large format fl oor 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, fi xers can confi dently 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 25kg bag, BAL XL Floor One holds its high-gel shape when trowelled with ribs sitting proud even up to 25mm without any slump- ing – 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 fl at backgrounds and tiles! If needed, BAL XL Floor One can be built up to 25mm 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 fl exible 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 4mm notched trowel.
EXTERNAL PORCELAIN 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 20mm porcelain pavers and other external tiles. Alex Underwood, Head of Marketing, said:
“After listening to our fi xers and contractors, we have developed a new fl oor tile adhesive that provides better workability when tiling large for- mat fl oor tiles and panels which are seemingly getting bigger year-on-year. “The improved working and open times give
fi xers that bit longer to trowel, move, install and adjust large tiles and panels – without worrying that the adhesive may skin over on the fl oor or go off in the bucket. This may seem minimal – but in reality, this makes a huge diff erence within installations. “BAL XL Floor One can be used up 25mm bed depths if necessary for small levelling or patch repair, while back-buttering is not always necessary either saving signifi cant project time
and costs. “Smoother and creamier to use, contractors
have praised the workability and usability of the product compared to other thick-bed fl oor adhesives – making for easier and quicker large format tiling.”
