Tile Adhesives

We have a wide range of tile adhesives that have all been thoroughly tested under extreme conditions to prove their reliability. Our products include Mapei adhesives which are perfect for use with natural stone and ceramic tiles as well as porcelain, terrazzo and concrete. Other types of adhesive within our range include powder adhesives which can be used both internally as well as externally. We also offer flexible adhesives for tiling over underfloor heating as well as waterproof adhesives for use within bathrooms and swimming pools.

Tile Grouts

Choosing the right grout is incredibly important as it can completely effect the overall look of the tiles. How your tiles age is also an issue as low quality grout has a tendency to collect dirt, discolour and eventually crack. Our range of Mapei & Mira grout is flexible and will therefore be resistant to cracking and is also suitable for under-floor heating. Mould is another issue with many types of grout so customers will be pleased to know that both our Mapei and Mira ranges contain anti-mould additives, meaning they are suitable for bathrooms and kitchens.

Coloured Silicone Sealant

All of the coloured sealant that we have to offer is 100% silicone which means it has better crosslinking properties for horizontal and vertical surfaces. Our range of Mapei AC silicone products benefit from being anti-mould and can be used both internally and externally. Our different types of silicone can also be used in expansions joints within floors. Customers are reminded that we also offer an acrylic sealant which can be used for sealing and joins in Marmox tile backer boards.

Tile Backer Boards

Using tile backer boards instead of the standard plywood or plasterboard has many advantages for customers. Using a tile backer board significantly increases the loading capabilities for walls which is especially important when using stone tiles. The backer boards are also designed with adhesion in mind and actively improve the bond between the wall and the tiles. Another benefit to these types of backing is they can greatly strengthen a floor using a thin layer of material, saving space and improving the overall aesthetic.

Wet Room Shower Trays

There are many special requirements to be considered when designing a wet room and this is where Showerlays from Marmox come in. The Showerlays are easy to install and provide a fast and effective method for building a walk in shower area. The entire system is not just waterproof but also reinforced which removes the risk of compression through point loading. Customers are recommended to use Mira wet room tanking kits in conjunction with Marmox Showerlays.

Wet Room Shower Screens & Glass Panels

Our range of high quality wet room shower screens and glass panels add a touch of luxury to any setting. These products can be used independently or collectively, either way they will make a huge difference in improving your wetroom. The AquaFix panels are available in a variety of different sizes with trims, support arms, channels and accessories to match the overall style. The material involved is a crystal clear, 10 mm toughened glass treated with Clear Shield technology which means your glass stays cleaner for longer.

Wet Room & Bathroom Accessories

Bathrooms can benefit greatly from small designer accents and this is why AquaFix offer an array of wet room and bathroom accessories. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, many of the available accessories provide practical solutions to everyday problems such as storage, concealing pipes and shelving. All of the accessories have also been designed to adapt to different styles and sizes of bathroom and wet room. To view all of the accessories available, please visit the website.

Wet Room Tanking Kits

Another issue when installing wet rooms or showers is leakage. Our Wet Room Tanking Kits ensure that any wet area remains leakage free thanks to waterproofing. The wet room is sealed using a waterproof and elastic membrane which creates a completely impermeable surface on which to tile onto. The process begins with the application of a primer which seals the surfaces being tanked. It is also worth noting that fibre strip is is embedded into the tanking membrane to help bridge and seal joints where the floor and walls meet.

Tile Sealers

We have a wide range of tile sealant treatments which help to protect your tiles in various different ways. We offer sealants which have water and oil repellent effects, colour intensification and both layer and non-layer forming effects. We are offering these treatments from three different, high quality manufacturers including Lithofin, Dry Treat and LTP. Customers are reminded that to ensure that the surfaces they are treating with sealant are completely clean before application.

Stone Fireplace & Worktop Maintenance

The use of stone or granite within the home has become extremely popular in recent years, especially with fireplaces and worktops. The problem is that these materials can often become marked and dirty over time, which is obviously not ideal. Accidents such as spillages and using sharp knifes can also damage stone and granite materials. Customers will be pleased to know that we offer many products that are specifically designed for cleaning these types of materials. We also have products that are perfect for maintaining your fireplaces and worktops and keeping them looking their best.

Tile Cleaners

If you have gone to all the trouble of picking out and purchasing tiles, you want them to look their best. We have a wide range of products which cover the whole spectrum of tile cleaning including pre application, during and afterwards. Cleaning products are especially important before and during the application as cement adhesive and grout can often attach to the tiles and can be difficult to remove once they have set. We also offer specialist stain removal products for customers as well as general cleaning and maintenance solutions.

Tiling Tools & Tiling Supplies

Whether you are a professional within your field or just a DIY enthusiast, we have a variety of tiling tools and supplies to suit your needs. All of our tools have been selected to maximise both value and quality as well as being perfect for the job at hand. Some of the tools within our range include those used for cutting, shaping, drilling and polishing natural stone tiles. We also offer tools that can be used for working with ceramic and porcelain. For the full range of tiling tools we have available, feel free to visit the website.

Self Levelling Floor Compound

Uneven flooring can be the cause of many different problems and is often extremely expensive to remedy. It is for this reason that we offer Self Levelling Floor Compounds, which can offer a much more cost effective solution. In our opinion, one of the best manufacturers of this type of product is Mira X Plan who provide a Self Levelling Floor Compound that is not only flexible but also reinforced with fibre. This type of fortification means that it can be used to level over underfloor heating, which has to be fixed to either insulation boards, screeds or plywood/chipboard.

Under Floor Heating Mats and Thermostats

There is a growing trend of under floor heating mats being used underneath tiles and as a company we have chosen to stock products from Thermonet. We have put Thermonet's electrical underfloor heating mats through rigorous testing and have found that them to offer excellent performance. We also have our own brand of underfloor heating called Dry Heat which has been designed with customers in mind. Choosing underfloor heating is incredibly simple as mats range in size from 0.7 square metres to 16 square metres and can be configured to fit any room.

Underfloor Heating Insulation Boards

We also offer underfloor heating insulation boards which are available in two different formats. Customers can choose a high density extruded polystyrene insulation board which is recommended for use over concrete or screeded substrates. Alternatively, if you are working with a flexible floor base such as plywood, chipboard or timber, we recommend the use of Marmox tile backer boards which can insulate and reinforce the floor before laying mats. For a full list of all of our underfloor heating products, please visit the website.

Crack Isolation Membrane - CI Plus Matting

When tiling onto problem substrates, such as chipboard, gypsum, anhydrite or with heated floors, specific problems can arise. A decoupling or crack isolation membrane is a reliable way of solving many of these problems. Using this method means the tiled surface can remain intact as any stresses are absorbed by the substrate. It is also worth noting that installing crack matting permits moisture dispersion from new screeds. For further information and detailed specifications, please visit the website.
