ARDEX External Tiling System
Description

ARDEX External Tiling System is suitable for external under-tile applications.

  • Waterproofing: ARDEX WPM 1000
  • Matting: ARDEX UD 150 + ARDEX UD 158
  • Tile Adhesive: ARDEX X 18
  • Tile Grout: ARDEX FG 8 
  • Waterproofing Adhesive ARDEX WA 98 

ARDEX WPM 1000 is a fleece-lined waterproofing sheet membrane specially formulated for the direct adhesion of tiled systems or for other non-exposed use. ARDEX WPM 1000 is heat-welded at laps and seams to create a superior bond, consistent gauge and allow a quick installation.

ARDEX UD 150 is an unbonded, passive capillary drainage system for use under an external tiled surface. Acting as a drainage channel underneath the tiled surface, ARDEX UD 150 speeds up the drying process after rainfall and helps reduce the build up of efflorescence.

BAL Micromax2 is a rapid-setting, highly flexible, water/frost-resistant cementitious tile grout with built-in Microban antimicrobial protection for walls and floors:

  • Sets in 2-3 hours (at 20°C): enables faster completion
  • Efflorescence-free formulation: minimises risk of patchy discolouration. Water/frost-resistant. Built-in admixture for increased flexibility and enhanced durability. Ensures clean, even finish for grout joints.
