The Underfloor Heating store supply Ultra™ Tile Adhesive which in our view is the best available for tiling over underfloor heating on the market at this time.
Our Prices are much lower than high street prices, why? Because as with all our products they are shipped from a central warehouse which keeps our costs VERY LOW. All our adhesives are suitable for use with our underfloor heating mats and underfloor heating cables.
Ultra™ is the choice of professionals and comes with a ten year guarantee, all our products including underfloor heating and our tile backer boards have been tested by Ultra™ in their Labs and have shown the highest possible quality standards - we are proud to be Approved Ultra™ Distributers.
Our Floor Tile adhesives are all water resistant as standard and come in powdered format, so will require mixing as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
All our adhesives are Rapid set which allows you to grout the floor within a few hours of tiling the floor. Normal non rapid set will take 24 hours before you can grout - we supply Rapid set as standard. The non-rapid set allows a little more time to work with the tiles and you don't need to worry about the tile adhesive setting before you finish the job, however we believe that Rapid Set is the superior choice and most professionals will use Rapid Set Flexible Tile Adhesive.
Our Adhesive comes in a choice of White and Grey, but if you are using natural stone tiles you will need to use White adhesive, to avoid staining the tiles. Natural Stone is absorbent and will stain if a grey adhesive is used. White Tile adhesive is slightly more expensive due to the extra manufacturing costs involved.
Tile Grout is used between the tiles to provide a more pleasing appearance and prevents water and dust getting in behind the tile.
Most surfaces will move and expand and contract over any period of time and because tiles are solid there needs to be a space between them to allow for this expansion and contraction.
With underfloor heating there is a little extra movement due to the heating and cooling effect so we recommend and supply flexible grout, which allows for more movement. Standard non flexible grouts are not recommended for underfloor heating and may crack over time.
We supply our Flexible Grout for underfloor heating in Different colors to suit your personal taste. White, Grey and Limestone are available to choose at the checkout. Others colors are available on request.
The amount of grout required to complete your tiling will depend on the size of tiles you are using and how wide the space is between the tiles.
