If you’re a pro tiler, you’ll understand just how important it is to prime tiles before beginning the installation: it's best practice for seamless tile finishes. We sell a variety of primers and preparation products to assist with the installation of many tile applications, all of which are handy whether you’re a pro or a beginner tiler. Many of our accessories help with waterproofing, tanking and preventing tiles from cracking over time. Why don’t we take a look at some examples?
This latex-based solution makes tiles adhere easier and quicker, and it’s added as a step before applying your adhesive. This stronger bond between your tiles and substrates ensures that there is a much smaller chance of tile delamination developing (where tiles peel, lift or crack). If you want to make sure your tile installation has a long lifespan, this is certainly an unskippable step.
Coming with a lot of other handy benefits, this primer can be used for underfloor heating applications to make tile adhesion stronger as they become prone to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Its chemical compounds also make it useful for exterior uses and wet environments such as bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens. Your tiles are sure to stay put for many years!
The Beava waterproofing kit is also another must-have when it comes to ensuring your bathroom or kitchen is completely waterproof. Not only does this kit feature handy tools such as a brush and waterproofing tape, but it also includes a quartz acrylic primer to prepare the surface.
The quartz acrylic primer literally contains thousands of tiny quartz crystals which creates a textured surface for tiles to grip and adhere better. Suitable for a wide variety of substrates, including limestone, cement, wooden floorboards, natural stone and many more, this primer is versatile for many uses and projects.
Take a look at our guide on why you should waterproof your bathroom with Beava! We’ll give you a breakdown on the importance of making your rooms with high moisture levels fully waterproofed.
The Beava priming tray and roller is a really useful accessory to allow for the smooth application of primers. Making every job so much quicker, every tiler needs an accessory such as this one to spread primer evenly before tiles are laid. Available in large and small sizes and boxed in 5s, these accessories are must-haves for pro tilers and DIY enthusiasts alike.
