Flexible adhesive specifically designed for fixing vitrified tiles and natural stones of large size internally and small size at lower heights externally, on both floors and walls
BX-STONE is made for fixing vitrified tiles and natural stones: large sizes indoors and small sizes at lower heights outdoors, on floors and walls. Marble and natural stone can vary from one batch to another, so consult the BuildXpert India Helpline or test a sample before fixing. Stone slabs with a resin coating, polymer mesh, matting or other treatment on the fixing surface should be tested in advance to make sure they are compatible with the adhesive. For large tiles with sides over 30 cm, apply adhesive on the back of the tile and remove any rock dust left from cutting.
