Setcrete® Launches New Tile Adhesives and Grout Range

Following the success of its industry-leading floor levelling compounds, Setcrete has launched a new tile adhesives and grout range. Backed by the company’s reputation for high quality products and proven performance, Setcrete tile adhesives and grouts are aimed at building professionals who want an easy-to-use, no-nonsense product that is consistent and reliable.

Suitable for both wall and floor tiles, the launch range includes Rapid S1 Tile Adhesive and Standard S1 Tile Adhesive, which provide excellent bond strength and flexibility to combat moderate movement and vibration. These adhesives are complemented by Rapid Flex Tile Grout, suitable for joints up to 15mm wide.

All adhesives and grouts are specially formulated for internal and external applications, and are ideal for tiling wet rooms and power showers.

They can be used with porcelain, ceramic and natural stone tiles and can be applied over absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces. They are also suitable for use over underfloor heating systems.

Rapid S1 tile adhesive has an open time of 25 minutes, a pot life of 45 minutes and is ready to grout from three hours, while Standard S1 tile adhesive offers an extended open time of 40 minutes, a pot life of four hours and is set, ready for grouting from 16 hours.

Rapid S1 and Standard S1 tile adhesives and Rapid Flex Tile Grout are available in white and slate grey.

Commenting on the launch, Setcrete National Sales Manager Michael Hoe said: “Extending the Setcrete range into wall and floor tile adhesives and grouts is a natural progression for us, complementing our popular floor levelling compound range, which has enjoyed huge growth in demand over the last few years. Merchants and installers can be confident in the same levels of quality from the adhesives and grouts as they experience with Setcrete subfloor levelling compounds, as well as superior levels of consistency and product availability.”

Setcrete tile adhesives are supplied in 20 kg sacks, with grouts available in 3 kg packs.

Setcrete tile adhesives and grouts conform to European standards EN12004 and EN13888 respectively.
