Challenge:
Holy Cross Church is a listed building. It is located on Main Street, Dundrum. Holy Cross Church required extensive modernization and replacement of existing flooring.

Problem :
Intricate stone patterns to be installed on a thin anhydrate screed, and the associated risk of cracking.

Solution:
BAL Rapid Mat was incorporated to prevent any hairline cracks in the screed from reflecting through the detailed stone designed walkways.
The BAL Rapid Mat was fixed using ARDEX AF2365 Multi-purpose adhesive to a primed and dry substrate providing an effective anti-fracture membrane allowing the stone to be fixed using ARDEX S28W Natural stone adhesive

Unique Elements:
ARDEX S28W is a rapid drying, fibre-reinforced natural stone adhesive which minimizes the risk of water staining. It has a user-friendly 30-minute open time, yet can be trafficked and grouted after as little as 2 hours.
