ARDEX Natural Stone Range
non staining on sensitive stone
Natural stone is becoming increasingly popular, this presents new challenges to ensure a perfect finish and avoid unsightly staining, which is frequently caused when moisture from traditional tile adhesives and grouts gets into the stone dissolving existing materials, such as iron oxides or organic deposits which can discolour the face and/or edges of natural stone tiles.
ARDEX Natural Stone products featuring ‘Rapidry Formula Technology’ have been developed to provide practical solutions to this problem. The mix water is literally ‘locked’ within the mortar virtually eliminating the risk of water staining, warping and curling. Another key feature is rapid, controlled drying and hardening, allowing natural stones to be walked on and grouted in the shortest possible time.
