The Best Adhesives for Large Format Tile Installation
Selecting the right adhesive is essential for large-format tile installation if you want a flawless and long-lasting finish. Let’s talk about two excellent Kerakoll adhesives in this blog post: Bioflex and Biogel No Limits.
Bioflex: Using the Power of Mineral Adhesive
Bioflex is a mineral adhesive intended for high-performance bonding of natural stone, ceramic tiles, and porcelain tiles. What sets Bioflex apart are excellent features like zero vertical slip and an extended open time.
Key Features
- Low-VOC Emissions:
Bioflex is designed to have extremely low VOC emissions, making installation safer and more environmentally friendly.
- Organic Salts:
Bioflex strengthens the adhesive qualities by adding organic salts, which ensures a strong bond.
- Extra-Pure Inert Minerals:
The adhesive’s overall strength and durability are increased by the extra-pure inert minerals.
Areas of Application
Bioflex is a premium adhesive that demonstrates its adaptability to a wide range of substrates, such as heated floors, cement-based screeds, waterproofing products, and more. It is a popular option for projects involving everything from swimming pools to commercial spaces because it can be used for both internal and external applications.
Usage Guidelines
Bioflex has a shelf life of about a year and can be used at +23 °C. It is possible to achieve light foot traffic in two to three days and heavy traffic in three to seven days. Give swimming pools about 14 days to get the best results.
Biogel No Limits: A Structurally Flexible Marvel
Biogel No Limits is a unique tructurally flexible multipurpose gel adhesive based on Kerakoll geo-binders. This high-quality adhesive is notable for its high capacity to deform, full wetting ability, and thixotropic and fluid nature.
Key Features
- Thixotropic and Fluid:
Biogel No Limits has fluid and thixotropic characteristics that make application simple and bonding strong.
- High Deformation:
The adhesive is perfect for difficult installations, especially those involving large slabs, due to its high deformation capability.
- Intended for Large Slabs:
Biogel No Limits is the go-to adhesive for projects that need accuracy and dependability because it is designed specifically for laying large slabs.
Areas of Application
The adaptable adhesive Biogel No Limits works well with a variety of substrates, such as plasterboards, cement-based screeds, and pre-existing tiles. It can be applied to a wide range of materials, including glass mosaics, marble, natural stone, laminated stoneware, and porcelain tiles.
Usage Guidelines
Biogel No Limits has a shelf life of about a year and can be used at +23 °C or +5 °C. Like Bioflex, light foot traffic can be completed in two to three days, but heavy traffic could take up to seven days. For best results, give swimming pools that are +23 °C about 14 days to cure.
