TUFCHEM™ Tiling Systems

TUFCHEM Tiling Systems are direct-bonded, pressure embedded and power grouted fully vitrified tile flooring systems. The dense, impervious tiles feature integrally molded side joint spacers and a range of surface texture options to strike the right balance between walk work surface safety and ease of cleaning. Choose from traditional rectangular or modern hexagonal tiles available in an assortment of colors. Vibration setting compacts the epoxy THINSET™ Adhesive or THINSET Novolac Adhesive bedding to maximize effective bearing area and tenaciously bond the tiles to the substrate. Power grouting with water cleanable PENNTROWEL™ EZ Grout 100 or 200 makes use of the built-in spacers and produces narrow side joints.
