Adhesives

When we are called out to see a problem job, it is almost inevitably a laying problem, and the most common is due to the use of the wrong adhesive.

Some clients bring this on themselves in a way, because they insist on the cheapest quote and then complain when a tiler uses the cheapest adhesive. Our advice is, use the best adhesive you can. It is only a small cost in the entire job, but it could make or break it. The staff at Beaumont Tiles are happy to advise on adhesive whether we supplied the tiles or not.

There are many brands of adhesives available and each brand produces several different adhesives. Mostly these are for specific types of tiles onto specific substrates or surfaces. Check our or with your local Beaumont Tiles store. They will advise of the best adhesive to use.

We guarantee the performance of the tiling systems we recommend and supply. The simple guide is to select the best tiles and the best adhesives for the job. The cheapest may not be suitable for your job.

Grout

When it comes to grout always choose a flexible mould resistant grout like ABA Flexgrout. This is available in a wide range of colours to suit every tile.

When very wide grout joints are called for in uneven terracotta, slate or quarry tiles, always insist on using a suitable sanded grout and additives to improve the flexibility of the grout. We recommend ABA Quarry grout mixed with ABA Flexible grout additive.

For special industrial areas, Beaumont Tiles can help with the right epoxy grout for the job.
