View full detailsBAL’s extensive range of tiling products is designed to meet
the demands of both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. With cutting-edge
formulations, BAL adhesives and grouts are ideal for creating durable,

are specifically crafted to ensure excellent adhesion on a variety of surfaces,
providing superior flexibility and resistance to moisture and temperature
changes. Whether you're tackling a renovation or a new installation, BAL’s innovative
solutions offer the performance and reliability needed to complete every
project with confidence.
To calculate the right amount of BAL grout, you'll need to know your tile size, the total area to be tiled, and the width of the grout joints between tiles. The coverage of BAL grout can vary based on these factors. Generally, larger tiles and wider grout joints will require more grout. For the most accurate estimate, refer to the coverage guidelines on the BAL grout packaging or use an online grout calculator.
Yes, you can use Bal grout outside, but it's important to choose the right type. Cement-based grout may not be ideal for exterior use unless specifically designed for outdoor conditions, as it can be vulnerable to moisture and weather changes. For outdoor applications, epoxy or ready-mixed Bal grout is often a better choice, as it offers better resistance to moisture, freezing, and staining. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure proper use and consider sealing for added protection in outdoor areas.
Bal grout generally does not need sealing if it is a ready-mixed or epoxy grout, as these are often water-resistant and non-porous. However, cement-based Bal grout may benefit from sealing to prevent stains, moisture penetration, and dirt buildup, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific grout type to ensure proper maintenance. Sealing can improve the grout's durability and appearance but is not necessary for all types.
Bal tile adhesive typically takes around 24 hours to fully dry and set, depending on the type of adhesive and environmental conditions. For initial setting, it usually takes 2 to 3 hours, but it's recommended to wait 24 hours before grouting or walking on the tiles to ensure a strong bond. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific drying times, as they can vary with temperature and humidity.
