Norcros Rock-Tite is a hit with landscapers!


N


orcros Rock-Tite Exterior Porcelain & Stone System was developed specifically to appeal to landscape designers, tilers and DIYers who want an easy-to-use system for installing the increasingly popular 20mm porcelain tiles externally for patios and terraces. One of the latest recommendations from a landscaper indicates that the product is certainly making life easier for workers in that profession. Landscaper, Brett Corcoran of TC Fencing & Landscaping, has recently used the product on a patio job in Staffordshire and was full of praise once the project was completed: “After using the Rock-Tite range of products throughout a recent project completed I can strongly recommend it,” he said. “I can recommend the Rock-Tite products to not only the building trade but DIY customers too due to their


improvement to the property. The tiles on this project are Johnson Tiles, 20mm porcelain, 600 x 600, from their Boundary collection in colour Dune. Laying the tiles was made much easier than it would otherwise have been without the assistance of Norcros Rock-Tite.

The system comprises a Primer, a choice of Mortars (either with or without sand) and a Brush-In Grout. The product provides a high strength mortar for bonding concrete, natural stone and porcelain paving slabs to a hardcore or solid base. The Rock-Tite additives improve performance, workability and freeze/thaw resistance of the finished mortar mix. The choice of mortars allows customers to purchase their sand separately if they wish.
