Recommended Adhesives & Grouts
Mapei are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of chemical products for the building industry. Amongst their vast range of products, they supply a number of tile adhesives and grout products which H&E Smith are happy to recommend.
Testing Our Products
To ensure H&E Smith can make the best recommendation to our clients, we asked Mapei to test their adhesives on a selection of our tiles. They performed a 7-day test and a 28-day test in controlled conditions where the tensile adhesion strength of each bond was measured using a manual dynamometer. Following successful testing, we can now recommend the products shown below.
Specification Service
Need help working out what products you need?
If you are architect, designer, building contractor or specifier ordering tiles from us for a large project, you may need help working out what volumes and types of products you need. In conjunction with Mapei, we can offer free specification writing for the installation of your tiles utilising Mapei adhesives and grouts. Just ask for a ‘Mapei Specification’ on placing your order and will send a form over for you to complete.
