DIY WEEK AWARDS 2026 WINNERS 2018


Editor’s Choice Award Palace Chemicals – NX Range


The NX brand from Palace Chemicals is a consumer-friendly range of easy-to-use products aimed primarily at DIY tile fixers. It comprises a comprehensive assortment of tile adhesives, grouts and floor levelling products, developed for domestic use. It has recently been consolidated, strengthened and repackaged to provide a wide range of tiling solutions for the DIY market. The brand profile has the key attributes of simplicity and ease of use.


So, all NX products now benefit from easy-to-understand packaging, straightforward usage instructions and are designed to be easy to use. The NX brand is widely accepted as the specialist in less technical, consumer friendly products.


The NX brand is well-known in the trade for its DIY-friendly products,


which present a non-intimidating image to the consumer, especially the less DIY-confident. As well as its ease of use and competitive pricing, the high quality, comprehensive nature of the range sets it apart from anything else on the market. It includes no less than 12 different cement- based tile adhesives, three ready-mixed adhesives, four grouts and three priming and levelling products. Younger consumers, in particular, are widely believed to have become


less DIY confident than previous generations. Therefore, a range of products which stands out in store on account of its ease of use and easily understood range attributes, proves highly popular. Furthermore, the NX range has recently been repackaged, so it really stands out in-store


and is easy to shop, with a strong range identity and key product benefits easily visible and understandable.


The range comprises three primers and levellers, three ready-mixed adhesives, four grouts and 12 powdered cementitious adhesives


The Editor said: “The NX brand is a consumer-friendly range of easy- to-use products from Palace Chemicals, aimed primarily at DIY tilers, making it the perfect product range for retailers to stock.”
