      Trowelled straight onto the existing tile surface.

    • Heated floors

      High S2 flexibility suits floors that are heated.

    • Facades with movement

      The highly flexible adhesive is used where the facade moves.

    • Balcony tiles

      Fix the balcony tiles and grout after 24 hours.

    • Renovation projects

It complies with ANSI A 118.4 and EN 12004 D2TES2, with high S2 flexibility and an open time of 30 minutes. That also makes it a balcony tile adhesive.
