PCI Products Fast Track Bathrooms At Club Quaters

Tile adhesive and grout manufacturer PCI, part of the Construction Chemicals division of the BASF Group, has supplied a complete waterproofing solution for the bathrooms at exclusive London hotel the Club Quarters Trafalgar Square, from construction boards and tanking for showers through to tile adhesives and grouts.

The shower base installation and tanking had to be completed quickly, requiring a fast-track solution with high-quality, low-maintenance, watertight results. PCI Pecibord® shower base boards tanked with PCI Lastogum® offered a cost-effective tanking solution which would provide waterproofing protection to the shower rooms and between floors. PCI adhesives PCI Tilefast® 6 Flex, PCI Tilefast and PCI Tilefast® Rapidflex were used to fix the tiles for strong, reliable adhesion, with PCI Fast Track Grey grout and PCI Aquafug® providing a resilient, quality grout finish.

Said PCI Marketing Manager Mike Horsfield: “The PCI Pecibord® shower base is ideal for designing barrier-free showers for disabled access, a key requirement of the client. It also provides good thermal insulation compared to cementitious screed alternatives, so helps prevent heat loss through the floor below the tiles. As an alternative to screed systems, it is fast, easy to install and benefits from a no-cure waiting time. Once tanked with PCI Lastogum®, which can be left to cure overnight, it is ready to tile for a fast-track finish, making it ideal for tight timescales.”
