The Quick Way To Create A Ceramic Thermal-Comfort Floor
Bologna ? Schlüter-Systems first presented its innovative bonded assembly Schlüter-BEKOTEC in 1997. When the manufacturer introduced the complete ceramic thermal-comfort floor system, Schlüter-BEKOTEC-THERM in 2003, it created a small revolution for heated floor technology. The product of the Iserlohn-based company demonstrated to the entire industry that modern floor assemblies not only save money and resources, but can also create permanently damage-free heated screeds. The new Schlüter-BEKOTEC-EN/23 F, is the ?little brother? of this product, which has proven its worth in the market and in many practical applications.

Wellness For Your Building
Bologna ? The booming wellness market is discovering many new attractive uses for tiles and natural stone. However, steam baths and heated bathrooms place many demands on the covering construction. The challenge is to protect the building structure from moisture, which can permeate the walls and floors in the form of water vapour. Schlüter-KERDI-DS, presented in Bologna, is the first product to function both as a bonded waterproofing assembly and vapour barrier, and allows for immediate tile installation.

Edge Profile For Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN
Bologna ? Schlüter-Systems caused a sensation some time ago with the introduction of its innovative bonded drainage and uncoupling system Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN. The product will now be presented to German professionals in Munich. The drainage mat is the first product to allow for drainage of bonded balcony and terrace assemblies constructed with the thin-set method, which in many cases can significantly reduce the construction height. To complete the system solution, the company is also introducing at CERSAIE 2007 the balcony edge profile Schlüter-BARA-RTKE, which precisely matches the requirements of Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN. The letter ?E? stands for the German word for ?drainage.?

Anhydrite Screeds - Increase In Tiling Queries
There?s been much discussion amongst flooring contractors in recent months about the thorny subject of anhydrite screeds.

So much so, that the Contract Flooring Association has published a technical paper on the generic installation of floor coverings onto these calcium sulfate-based screeds.

Avoid Stress By Avoiding Stress
Architects and contractors know how stressful it can be when things go wrong. The way to avoid such stress over tiling installations in is to ensure the tiles themselves are free from movement stresses. Ceramic and stone tile installations can be subjected to a variety of stresses leading to tiles bulging, cracking or becoming detached from the substrate. IAN KNIFTON, Technical Manager at Schlüter-Systems Ltd., world market leader in tiling solutions, says the correct placing of appropriate movement joints will absorb many of these stresses, preventing damage.

Smart Move Puts Problems In Check For Mercedes And Smartcar
A smart move by architects led to essential protection for heavy duty floor tiles at the newly-built Mercedes-Benz and Smartcar showroom in Birmingham. In total, 2,400 square metres of heavy duty Solus ceramic floor tiles were installed by Telling Finishings Ltd. at the Bordesley Green site. But Erik Jaeckel, of Bath-based David Kent Architects, knew that without essential protection, movement differential between the substrate and the surface could cause the tiles to crack, split or debond. He specified the use of 600 linear metres of the Schlüter-DILEX- EKSN heavy duty stainless steel movement joint to guarantee the long-term integrity of the installation.
