Ultra Tile Chosen For Premier East Midland Tile Retailer

Leicester's premier supplier of wall and floor tiles has refitted their extended showroom using the renowned Ultra Tile ProRapid RS, SuperWhite WR Flex and FlexJoint.

Leicester Tile Centre completed wall tiling installations within their extended showroom using Ultra Tile’s paste adhesive, SuperWhite WR Flex. Powder adhesive, ProRapid RS, was used for all flooring installations and FlexJoint grout was used to finish all the tiling perfecting the elegant new appearance.

Ultra Tile SuperWhite WR Flex, 1 of 3 ready mixed adhesives available from the brand, is truly brilliant white in colour, highly flexible and suitable for most common substrates. Its increased water resistance combined with anti-fungal technology ensures the adhesive is fully mould resistant. SuperWhite WR Flex is non-slip due to excellent bond properties, and conforms to BS EN 12004 D2T.
