Why Choose ProEco Gel?
There are plenty of tile adhesives on the market, so why should you choose ProEco Gel for your next project? Let’s explore the standout features that make this product a game-changer:
- Environmentally FriendlyWith sustainability becoming increasingly important in the building industry, UltraTile ProEco Gel stands out by offering a product that includes 30% recycled material. This eco-friendly approach makes it a great choice for environmentally conscious tilers and construction projects looking to reduce their carbon footprint. By choosing ProEco Gel, you’re not only getting a high-performance adhesive but also contributing to more sustainable building practices.
- Extended Workability for Greater ControlProEco Gel is specifically formulated with extended workability, giving you more time to position and adjust tiles during installation. This is especially beneficial for more intricate layouts or larger tiling jobs where precision is key. Instead of rushing against a quick-setting adhesive, ProEco Gel allows you to take the time you need to ensure every tile is perfectly placed.
- S1 Flexibility for Movement-Prone AreasCertain environments, such as those with underfloor heating systems or areas subject to slight movement, require an adhesive that can accommodate these challenges. ProEco Gel’s S1 classification means it offers superior flexibility, which helps to prevent cracks or tile displacement over time. This makes it ideal for use in areas like wet rooms, conservatories, or swimming pools, where movement and vibration are common.
- Fast Setting Time – Ready for Traffic in 18 HoursOne of the standout features of ProEco Gel is its quick setting time. Once applied, the adhesive allows tiles to be walked on within 18 hours, ensuring minimal downtime on the job. This fast turnaround is essential for projects with tight deadlines or commercial spaces that need to reopen quickly.
- Ideal for Both Walls and FloorsVersatility is one of ProEco Gel’s strongest attributes. It’s designed to work equally well on both walls and floors, indoors and outdoors, making it an all-in-one solution for a wide range of tiling projects. Whether you’re laying new floor tiles in a kitchen or installing a feature wall in a bathroom, ProEco Gel delivers consistent, high-quality results.
- Suitable for Various Tile TypesFrom porcelain and ceramic to natural stone and glass, ProEco Gel is compatible with an impressive variety of tiles. It’s also perfect for Tile on Tile applications, which means you can install new tiles over existing ones with ease—saving time and effort on renovations. This makes it the go-to adhesive for everything from small residential jobs to larger commercial installations.
ProEco Gel: Perfect for Every Project
At The Tilers Hub, we cater to a wide range of clients, from professional contractors to DIY enthusiasts. ProEco Gel’s flexibility and versatility make it suitable for all kinds of tiling jobs. Here’s how ProEco Gel fits into different project types:
1. Bathroom and Wet Room Installations
Bathrooms and wet rooms demand adhesives that can withstand moisture and frequent temperature changes. ProEco Gel is perfect for these environments, offering enhanced adhesion and flexibility that help keep tiles securely in place, even in areas with constant exposure to water.
2. Underfloor Heating Systems
Underfloor heating systems require an adhesive that can handle temperature fluctuations while maintaining strong bonding. ProEco Gel is designed to work with both electric matting and water-based underfloor heating systems, ensuring that tiles stay firmly in place despite the heating and cooling cycles.
3. Exterior Installations
ProEco Gel is robust enough for exterior tiling projects, such as garden patios or outdoor walls. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to temperature changes and weather conditions, ensuring a long-lasting, durable installation.
4. Commercial Spaces
For tiling in high-traffic commercial environments, such as retail stores, restaurants, and office spaces, ProEco Gel offers fast setting times and reliable bonding. Its quick 18-hour set time ensures minimal disruption to businesses, allowing them to continue operating without unnecessary downtime.
How to Use ProEco Gel
Applying ProEco Gel is straightforward, but to achieve the best results, it’s important to follow proper steps. Here’s a quick guide to using this innovative adhesive:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of contaminants. This includes removing dust, grease, or loose particles from the area where the tiles will be installed. ProEco Gel is compatible with a wide range of substrates, including concrete, plywood, cement board, and existing tiles.
- Mixing: Slowly add ProEco Gel to clean water (6.5L – 7.0L for a 20kg unit) in a mixing tub. Use a mechanical mixer to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency. This ensures the adhesive is properly blended and ready for application.
- Application: Use a notched trowel to apply the adhesive to the substrate, ensuring you achieve even coverage and solid rib lines. For larger tiles or external applications, it’s advisable to “back-butter” the tiles—applying adhesive to both the tile and the surface for maximum bonding strength.
- Tile Placement: Once the adhesive is applied, press the tiles firmly into place, ensuring full contact between the tile and the adhesive. Leave adequate spacing between tiles for grouting.
- Grouting: After allowing the adhesive to set for at least 18 hours, you can begin grouting. Be sure to clean off any excess adhesive before it sets completely.
