Favourite ARDEX Group product(s) and why:
- BAL XL Floor One – because it does a couple of things that are really important for tilers. It makes the job easier and quicker by reducing the need to back-butter many tiles. It also gives you that peace of mind that you are much more likely to have 100% coverage on your tile when using it, and also, as it has a max bed depth of 25mm, you are very unlikely to apply it too thick.
- ARDEX K 40 FLOW – when it comes to flooring, achieving an SR1 finish is important. Installers will often carry out additional preparation after applying their levelling and smoothing compound to achieve a perfect finish. With ARDEX K 40 FLOW, you can reduce or even remove the need for that secondary preparation before applying your LVT. Saving you both time and effort.
