RANGE REVIEW: TILES & TILING


Market research revealed that about one third of the population has mouldy bathroom sealants but fears of a complex and time-consuming job has discouraged DIYers from undertaking sealant projects. UniBond RE-NEW from HENKEL is a simple and easy solution for everyone. No need to remove the old sealant, just apply on top! • It’s easy to apply in just 5 minutes. • Apply on top of existing sealant. • No additional tools required: an auto smoothing tool is built into the design.


• Covers and stops existing mould and prevents future growth thanks to Triple Protect Anti mould protection • Covers cracks in the sealant thanks to perfect adhesion to all silicones


The easiest way to keep your sealants in perfect condition, says the company. UniBond Re-New, your sealants like new! n 01442 278 115 n Tele.sales@henkel.com


With the weather heating up, the last thing you need is your tile adhesive going off in the bucket too soon. The new DUNLOP Flexible Slowset Wall and Floor Tile Adhesive will last in the bucket for up to four hours, while tiles can be adjusted for up to 20 minutes after fixing. Perfect for large format tiles and complex installations, the set adhesive is frost and water-resistant and can be used in wet areas such as wet rooms and swimming pools. Ready for grouting after 24 hours, the product is white and can be used for any tile type. n 01782 591100 n www.dunloptrade.com


Black, unsightly mould is the scourge of the bathroom, says HENKEL. Dirt, skin, soap residue coupled with humidity conspire to support mould growth in the grout between the tiles and on the sealant around the bath, sink, or shower. The Unibond Grout Reviver Pen can be used to revive the grout lines and make it look like new. This product is a simple pen that can apply a coating over top of the grout to revive its appearance. The coating is also anti-mould to stop mould growth re-occurring. Again, the big tip here is to remove the existing loose mould with bleach. n 01442 278 115 n Tele.sales@henkel.com

Bathroom mould is the bain of many bathrooms. Mould growth on bathroom sealant looks unsightly and is very difficult to remove. When installing a new bathroom, or shower, or basin its best to use a quality sealant that has antimould properties just like UniBond Antimould Shower Bath & Kitchen Sealant, says HENKEL. The bathroom can become the most expensive room in the home when you add up the cost of the sanitaryware, tapware, and tiles so it’s wise to invest in the very


best sealant available. This why, for many years, Henkel says UniBond Antimould Shower Bath & Kitchen Silicone sealant has been the No 1 choice. n 01442 278 115 n Tele.sales@henkel.com
