DUNLOP Large Format & Natural Stone Adhesive is specially formulated for use with natural stone and large-format tiles. A pourable thick bed adhesive, it can be used inside and out – including on patios. Water and frost resistant, it is also flexible, meaning it can be used over underfloor heating. It can also be used to level uneven floor – before fixing tiles, a layer of adhesive can be applied up to 25mm thick. Because it can be used from 3-25mm thickness, it is also ideal for tiles/slabs of uneven thickness and uneven surfaces. It is available in grey and white – perfect for translucent natural stone, such as terrazzo.
Dunlop Large Format and Natural Stone Adhesive is also rapid setting, meaning tiles can be grouted after only three hours, says the company. Exceeding the requirements of BS EN12004 for a C2F tile adhesive, it is easy to mix and easy to apply and can also be used for wet areas such as showers and swimming pools. As well as providing the perfect adhesive for natural stone tiles such as limestone, slate and marble, it can also be used with fully vitrified tiles such as porcelain thanks to its PorcelBond technology. n

UNIBOND PVA, the market-leading PVA, has been made in Britain since 1953. It is a brand synonymous with PVA; in fact British tradesmen choose to say “UniBond it” on site as opposed to “PVA it” when providing a sealer or tack coat prior to plastering. UniBond is the only PVA with a British Board of Agrément certification, which is worn proudly as a medal-of-honour on pack and a sign to the trade they have the best. With hundreds of uses, it is one of Britain’s most multi- tasking adhesive and sealers. It is a non-toxic, water based product that can be used for many building, home improvement, craft or hobby work applications. n 01442 278115 n

UNIBOND’s Re-New has been launched in response to recent market research, which revealed that around one third of the population has mouldy bathroom sealants, but fears of a complex and time-consuming job discourage them from undertaking sealant projects.
Re-new is a simple and easy solution that means there is no need for users to remove the old sealant, they can just apply on top. It is easy to apply in just five minutes, with no additional tools required due to an integrated auto-smoothing tool. Re-new is designed to cover and stop existing mould, as well as preventing future growth, thanks to Triple Protect mould protection. Re-new covers cracks in the sealant thanks to perfect adhesion to all silicones, says Unibond. n 01442 278115 n
