Tilers, contractors and homeowners will all welcome smooth, new BAL Micromax2, the first genuinely universal grout.
Its previously unseen combination of properties makes it ideal for virtually any normal wall or floor grouting. BAL Micromax2 is the result of extensive R&D, carried out in collaboration with fixers nationwide.
Fixers trialling new BAL Micromax2 unanimously hailed its versatility, removing the need for different grouts within a single project: the same product suits both the floors and the walls. Its superfine formulation gives a finish of unbelievable smoothness and enables use with gaps as narrow as 1 mm. It also has the strength and flexibility for grouting gaps as wide as 20 mm, with no slumping, shrinking and cracking.
For fixers, contractors and specifiers, grout selection is now simple. BAL Micromax2 suits any type of tile, including porcelain and natural stone, on any type of background. It is ideal for dry and wet areas, indoors and outside, and can even be used with underfloor heating systems.
Contractors and fixers will both appreciate the long 30-minute working time. This enables a large area to be grouted from a single mix, saving time, while further time economies come from BAL Micromax2’s fast setting. As little as two to three hours’ drying is needed before a floor will bear light traffic, removing project delays and facilitating faster job completion. Clean-down is easy, with no tile haze, while the unusual smoothness also removes the chance of tile abrasion.
Homeowners will love BAL Micromax2’s lasting good looks, in any of nine striking shades. White, manila, gunmetal, pebble, ebony, smoke, chocolate, cocoa and jasmine are all available with colour-matching sealants. They will also welcome the colour consistency, from an efflorescence-free formulation that means no shading or patchiness across large areas. In addition, the incorporated Microban® anti-bacterial protection inhibits the growth of black mould and such bacteria as E. coli, salmonella and listeria.
BAL Micromax2 is available from hundreds of stockists nationwide in 2.5 kg and 5 kg bags, with matching sealants in 310 ml packs. In addition, all shades except chocolate and cocoa can be ordered in 10 kg packs. As with every product bearing the BAL name, BAL Micromax2 carries a full 25-year guarantee.
Tilers will also welcome the offer of a free 2.5 kg bag to try, available from www.tilers-demand.com, with the chance to win a brand new van – and many other prizes – in the great BAL Micromax2 free draw.
