ARDEX Preparation & Tiling Products Used

ARDEX A38 Cement: Traditional sand/cement screeds can take months to dry, but an ARDEX A 38 screed can receive tiles after only 4 hours, regardless of thickness, to produce a bonded, unbonded or floating floor screed.

ARDEX AM100: ARDEX AM 100 is a specially formulated pre-blended cement/sand render, requiring only the addition of water to produce a slump free mortar which can be applied from 2-20mm. ARDEX AM 100 is ready to receive wall tiling only 2 hours after application.

ARDEX S7 waterproof tanking: ARDEX S 7 was used to waterproof Castlebar swimming pool prior to fixing ceramic tiles.

ARDEX X7R floor tile adhesive: ARDEX X 7 R is a rapid setting adhesive that allows tiles to be grouted and trafficked only 2 hours after fixing.

ARDEX X7W Plus wall adhesive: ARDEX X 7 W is versatile multipurpose tile adhesive, with enhanced properties of adhesion. It is suitable for fixing
ceramic, porcelain, glass mosaics, and most non-moisture sensitive natural stone floor and wall tiles.

ARDEX FL grout: Our advanced manufacturing process ensures uniform colour distribution of this grout powder which eliminates ‘streaking’ during mixing.
