West Cumberland Hospital gets the Ardex treatment
Ardex worked with flooring contractors TT Flooring of Workington, who were commissioned to install the floorcoverings for the refurbished West Cumberland Hospital.
Ardex's fastest setting and hardening tile adhesive, Ardex-FLEX 6001, was specified to fix the 400m2 of Parmesa floor tiles.
Renowned for versatile and effective performance with all types of tiles including mosaics, fully vitrified and porcelain, Ardex-FLEX 6001 is suitable for both internal and external installations.
It is easy to apply with excellent workability, enabling tiles to be walked on and grouted after just 90 minutes.
The Pilkington's wall tiles were fixed utilising Ardex-FLEX 5001 grey flexible tile adhesive.
Key benefits of Ardex-FLEX 5001 include a slump free consistency and excellent initial grab, which enables even heavy wall tiles to be fixed without the need for battens or spacers.
Suitable to fix all types of wall and floor tiles including fully vitrified and porcelain, Ardex-FLEX 5001 has been developed with a built-in admix which provides significant savings over a conventional cement-based adhesive with a separate admix.
The tile joints were grouted with epoxy-based Ardex WA grout.
Easy to apply and clean off, Ardex WA provides a waterproof and chemically resistant joint from 2-12mm wide, which makes it the ideal choice for use in this location where rigorous and frequent cleaning regimes will be necessary.
"It was essential that we specified tiling products that would withstand the performance demands of the environment but would be cost efficient and, as expected, Ardex met the brief with ease".
"It was a delight to be involved with such a worthy project as the new Leeds Dogs Trust", enthused Andy Hill of B.Darnton and Co. Request a free brochure from Ardex UK ...
