When fixing onto concrete which is in a good condition for tiling, but may need smoothing out, BAL is launching new BAL Level Out, a fast-setting one-part external levelling compound for smoothing rough or impact damaged concrete.

 

 

BAL Level Out has a number of performance benefits including:

  • Suitable for external applications
  • Fast-setting – walkable after 2-3 hours
  • Apply from 2mm to 20mm thick in a single application
  • Smooth flow and excellent coverage – 3m² at 5mm thick

When fixing direct onto concrete or leveller, BAL recommends the use of BAL XL Floor One.

BAL XL Floor One is a semi-rapid-setting, thick-bed tile adhesive, perfect for fixing large format porcelain, slabs and natural stone.

With bed depths up to 25mm, it is suitable to level minor inconsistencies. As a pourable adhesive it makes tiling easy over larger areas. With a thixotropic formulation, ribs hold their shape and easily collapse to ensure solid-bed fixing. Back-buttering is not required with flat, level surfaces.

All BAL’s products are freeze/thaw resistant and use the most up-to-date technology ensures long-lasting patios and terraces.
