The purpose of this seminar is to bring to you some of the specialist knowledge we’ve gathered and developed during the years, in the selection and installation of large format tiles and panels.
It is our aim to inform you of the key issues in choosing and installing internal large format tiles and panels, and help you gain confidence in specifying these in any contract or project.
Throughout this floor tiling solutions seminar we will highlight the common problems and watch-points, and at the end of the session we will summarise all the relevant information.
As well as the specifier benefits listed, BAL are a trusted partner for commercial projects.

BAL’s full solution for external tiling is the only true full system for one manufacturer in the UK (providing mats, drainage, edging … through to adhesives, grouts and sealants).
Gutjahr have:

The experience of Gutjahr and BAL together with market-leading innovation from our UK and global R&D teams for full tiling systems ensures the highest quality specification.
This is supported with a stringent commitment to quality; with every batch of BAL product fully tested and issued with a 25-year product guarantee.
The balance between aesthetic qualities and practicality is the key to successfully specifying tiling products. Incorrect specification can of course potentially lead to significant problems or even failure.
It is vital to select the right type of substrate that is both capable of supporting a rigid tiled finish and the anticipated service conditions without excessive movement or deflection.
For Heavily trafficked areas, consideration needs to be given to the type and nature of trafficking imposed upon the tiling installations i.e. static and/or dynamic loading. Correct selection of suitbable substrates and materials materials i.e tile type and thickness, suitable tile adhesives and grouts also need to be taken into consideration.
There will be time allowed at the end of this seminar and we will be pleased to answer any questions or discuss any points raised during the presentation.
